Plant Pot Feet, Trolleys & Caddies

The right accessories can make your garden pots easier to look after and move. Our collection includes plant pot feet for raising containers off the ground, alongside plant pot trolleys and caddies designed to help move larger, heavier planters.

Whether you want to improve drainage beneath an outdoor pot, protect the surface underneath or make a heavy planter easier to reposition, there are practical options to suit different pots and gardens.

Plant Pot Feet for Outdoor Pots & Planters

Plant pot feet, also known as planter feet, plant feet or plant pot legs, sit underneath a container to raise its base slightly above the ground.

Creating a small gap underneath the pot can help excess water drain away more freely and prevent drainage holes from becoming blocked. This can be particularly useful during the wetter autumn and winter months.

Pot feet are available in practical and decorative designs, including glazed ceramic and terracotta styles that can complement your garden pottery.

Plant Pot Trolleys for Heavy Pots

Plant pot trolleys provide a simple way to make larger and heavier garden pots easier to move. Also known as plant caddies or pot caddies, they feature wheels or castors underneath a platform that supports your planter.

A pot trolley can be particularly useful if you regularly reposition plants around a patio, need to move containers for cleaning or want the flexibility to move plants to a more sheltered position.

Our range includes different sizes and styles, including adjustable and heavy-duty plant caddies for larger garden pots.

Improve Drainage with Pot Feet

Good drainage is particularly important for plants grown in outdoor containers. When drainage holes become blocked or a pot sits directly in standing water, excess moisture can remain around the roots.

Using feet for plant pots creates a small gap underneath the container, allowing water to drain away more freely.

This can also reduce direct contact between the base of your planter and wet patios or paving.

Pot Feet for Glazed & Ceramic Plant Pots

Pot feet are a useful addition to many glazed garden pots, ceramic planters and terracotta pots.

As well as helping with drainage, decorative pot feet can complement the appearance of your garden pottery. Choose feet suitable for the size and weight of your planter and position them evenly beneath the pot to provide stable support.

Moving Large & Heavy Garden Pots

Large garden pots can become extremely heavy once they're filled with compost and established plants. A suitable plant trolley or wheeled pot caddy can make repositioning them much easier.

This can be useful when moving plants around a patio, cleaning underneath containers or changing the position of pots through the seasons.

Always check the dimensions and maximum recommended weight of your chosen plant trolley or caddy before placing a filled planter on it.

Plant Pot Feet, Caddies & Trolleys FAQs

What are plant pot feet used for?

Plant pot feet sit underneath a plant pot or planter to raise it slightly off the ground. This creates space for excess water to drain away and can help keep drainage holes clear. They can also reduce direct contact between the bottom of your pot and wet patios, paving or other outdoor surfaces.

Do plant pots need feet?

Not every plant pot needs feet, but they can be particularly useful for outdoor containers. Raising a pot slightly from the ground can improve drainage and help prevent drainage holes becoming blocked. Pot feet can be especially useful for larger pots that remain outside in the same position throughout the year.

How many pot feet do I need for a plant pot?

Three pot feet positioned evenly around the base will often provide stable support for a round plant pot. Larger, heavier or differently shaped planters may require additional feet. Always make sure your pot feet are positioned evenly and are suitable for the weight of the filled planter.

What is a plant pot trolley?

A plant pot trolley is a wheeled platform designed to sit underneath a plant pot, allowing the container to be moved more easily. They're also commonly known as plant caddies or pot caddies and can be particularly useful for large or heavy garden pots.

Can I use a plant trolley for heavy garden pots?

Yes, provided the trolley is designed to support the size and weight of your planter. Plant trolleys and heavy-duty pot caddies can make larger containers much easier to reposition. Always check the maximum recommended weight and dimensions of the individual trolley before use.

Are pot feet or pot trolleys better for large garden pots?

It depends on what you need. Plant pot feet are a good choice if you primarily want to raise a container to improve drainage and keep it off the ground. A plant pot trolley or caddy is more useful when you want to be able to move a large or heavy planter. For very heavy pots, always check that the chosen feet or trolley are suitable for the weight.
