I have transformed the IKEA SOCKER plant stand to create some privacy on my balcony.
The plant stand originally has rings on it to hold the pots. I removed the rings and sawed 4 wooden boards so they would fit inside the metal construction. I made 2 holes on both ends of each board and looped tie wraps through the holes.
I secured the tie wraps to the metal construction: at the top and at the bottom. Pull the tie wraps and the boards are secured, even when there’s much wind it stands tall!
