Questions people ask

Can an outdoor plant stand stay out all winter?
Many are sturdy enough, but snow, ice and freeze-thaw cycles in Canada can wear them down faster. Storing the stand in a shed or garage over winter helps it last longer.
Is wood or metal better outside?
Both work outdoors. Treated or cedar wood has a natural look, while powder-coated metal is slimmer and handles moisture if the coating stays intact.
