Yes, you can definitely put a wooden plant stand in your garden, but you must take the weather into account. In fact, frequent exposure to rain and even UV rays can spoil your wooden plant stand, leading to issues such as mildew and rotting.
Unless your wooden plant stand is going to be placed underneath a roof or somehow sheltered from the weather, you should choose a model that was treated and coated to withstand the elements. To promote its longevity, we also recommend that you recoat it yourself once a year.
You can put many different types of plants on wood plant stands, with only a few exceptions. Unless you build a specific type of wooden planter that’s reinforced, you should avoid placing trees on your planter. The same goes for crawling vines, as they may overwhelm your planter. It’s a good idea to stick to smaller plants such as flowers and herbs in order to take the most advantage of your wooden plant stand without overcrowding it.
A plant stand can be made out of any type of wood (or other material), but, typically, wood plant stands are made out of teak.
Teak is light and durable, but its most attractive feature for plant purposes specifically is that teak is relatively water-resistant. This means that it will hold up well if you plan to leave it outside, or if your plants leak when you water them.
