Description
I designed this plant stand for my Blagdon Affinity pond after picking up some self-grow marginal pond plants from B&M. The tubs sat too low in the water, so I created this raised stand to hold them just below the surface where they can properly thrive.
The stand is 3D printed in PETG for better water resistance and stands approximately 250mm high from the base of the pond. The legs are attached and reinforced with epoxy resin for extra strength.
It was slightly wobbly when first placed into the pond, but once the plant absorbs water and gains weight, it settles nicely into position and becomes stable.
An unexpected bonus is that the fish seem to love hiding underneath it as well, so it’s ended up doubling as a little shelter area in the pond 😄
Designed specifically for my own setup, but hopefully it helps others looking for an easy way to position marginal plants at the correct water level without balancing pots on random objects.
Hope you like it 🙂

I have now added a new print option which is more sturdier. It also has a rack to the base which can help hold the stand in place using pond rocks etc.
