Sooner or later a person keen on growinghouse plants, decides to group them into a spectacular ensemble. In order to make a beautiful stand for flowers with your own hands, you can use any strong material: wood, metal, bamboo, plastic.
How to make a stand for flowers from bamboo?
Natural bamboo is not easy to buy, so formanufacture of the rack can be purchased by his plastic imitation. Also need to prepare 2-3 boards width of 15-20 cm from solid wood (beech, hornbeam, larch, oak), steel wire with a cross section of 2-3 mm, fasteners (screws, nails). The rack should be a composition of two poles with a section of 40-50 mm, whose height is 2-3 cm higher than the height of the room, 2-4 wooden shelves and several metal holders for flower pots. Steel wire is twisted into a ring with a diameter of 35-40 cm, from its outer side, bamboo is fastened. A solid round support should be obtained. The trunks can be attracted to each other by means of a line, threads, thin wire. Points of connection of bamboo should be at least two: at the bottom and at the top of the support. In the same way, another rack is manufactured. The boards are polished on all sides, two holes are drilled in them, the diameter of which is slightly more than the section of the bamboo supports. The wood is painted or varnished. After it has dried, the shelves are put on racks and fixed at the correct height. For example, the lower one can be installed at a distance of 50-60 cm from the floor, and the top one - 40-50 cm from the ceiling. Mount the board with a wire. Then the flower stand is placed in the right place. For reliable fixation with a ceiling, holes are drilled in it with a depth of 1-2 cm, corresponding to the outer diameter of the bamboo supports. These circles are attached to circles cut from the cork. Any suitable adhesive or mounting foam can be used for this. Supports are installed in the grooves, while punching them at the floor. On the wall next to the stand and on the supports are fixed metal holders for flower pots. What should be the flower stands?
The main requirement for floralstands - stability. These structures must be strong, covered with protective material. For wood - it impregnates with the properties of antiseptic, for metal - anti-corrosion primers and paints. Plastic does not need additional processing. All the elements of the rack (shelves, holders) should be securely fixed, since they will have to withstand a long weight load.
