Covering the Wires

• The shelves of outdoor plant stands often have slotted wire bottoms. While this design allows water from plants to pass through as needed, it can make it difficult to use plant stands for anything else. If you would like to cover the bottoms of the shelves in a way that won't be noticeable, cut sturdy clear plastic or Plexiglass down to the size of each shelf and place it over the shelf bottom to create a solid base.
  
  

Outdoor Storage

• Plant stands designed for outdoor use are generally coated with a protective layer that prevents them from weathering in the rain. This makes these stands ideal for items that you need to store outside. Put a plant stand next to a deck workspace to hold tools and other equipment, next to the grill for grill supplies or alongside the swimming pool to hold pool chemicals and other necessities.
  
  

Yard Decor

• A plant stand integrates well into your yard or porch as decor. If you have other yard decor items, such as lawn gnomes, gazing balls or statues, you can elevate these objects to an eye-drawing height by placing them on the shelves of corner plant stands. If you have multiple corner plant stands, place four of the stands with the sides touching to create a 360-degree yard stand. If you want to add stability to a plant stand in your yard, push the stand down so that the feet of the stand go into the ground.
  
  

Bring It Inside

• A clean plant stand works both outdoors and indoors, and a corner plant stand can be used to hold items anywhere that you would use a standard corner shelf. Use the shelves of a corner plant stand to hold books, display decor or show off collectibles, or place the corner plant stand in a pantry or closet and use it for everyday items like cleaning products or food items.
