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 use pot feet - made from 1.5"x0.5" scrap timber, groove cut along the length so water doesn't hang around, chopped up into 3" lengths. 3 pieces under each plant tray. (3 is more stable than 4)
