I have about a dozen smallish trees in plastic pots, on plastic saucers

Can anyone suggest some kind of spacer or stand that I could put between
the saucers and the decking to allow air to circulate and dry the
decking? Preferably something fairly cheap, and that will not cause the
pots to be unstable in high winds.

I used anything that provided a space from bits of rock to tin lids.

I suppose three screws downwards would provide the minimum possible
contact area, with the saucers on points as it were.
