Lightweight Outdoor Planters Buying Guide: Simple Tips for Choosing!
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Okay, so I’ve been wanting to spruce up my patio lately, and I thought some nice planters would do the trick. But man, have you seen the prices of those big, fancy pots? Crazy, right? Plus, I’m not exactly a weightlifter, so lugging those heavy things around is not my idea of a good time.

That’s when I started looking into lightweight outdoor planters. I mean, it just makes sense, doesn’t it? You get the look without breaking the bank or your back.

Lightweight Outdoor Planters Buying Guide: Simple Tips for Choosing!

My DIY Adventure Begins

First things first, I went on a mission to find some affordable plastic pots. You know, the basic ones you can get at any garden store. I snagged a few different sizes, just to mix it up a bit. Then came the fun part – transforming these plain pots into something special.

I grabbed some spray paint that’s made for plastic – gotta make sure it sticks, you know? I went with some earthy tones, like a soft beige and a nice terracotta, to give them a more natural look. A couple of coats later, and bam! They looked a million times better already.

But I didn’t stop there. I wanted to add some texture, you see. So, I picked up some cheap rope from the hardware store and got to work. I glued it around the top rim of each pot, just to give it a little extra something-something. And for one of the bigger pots, I even wrapped the entire thing in rope. It took some time, but it was so worth it. It looked like those fancy textured pots you see in magazines, but without the hefty price tag.

Adding the Greenery

Now for the best part – the plants! I chose a mix of flowers and greenery that are known to do well in pots. Some colorful petunias, some trailing ivy, and even a little herb garden for my kitchen. I made sure to use good-quality potting soil and added some fertilizer to give my plants a good start.

Once everything was planted, I arranged my new lightweight planters on my patio. And let me tell you, the transformation was amazing. It felt like a totally new space. And the best part? I can move them around whenever I want, without needing to call in a moving crew.

  • Started with some cheap plastic pots.
  • Spray painted them for a better look.
  • Added rope for texture and style.
  • Filled them with a mix of pretty plants.
  • Enjoyed my newly decorated patio!

Honestly, this little project was so much fun, and it didn’t cost me a fortune. If you’re looking for a way to brighten up your outdoor space, I definitely recommend giving lightweight planters a try. You might just surprise yourself with what you can create!
