Please note that only our Pamela Crawford Basic Basket Planters will attach to this column.
Convert Your Large Pots into a stunning 2-level display on your patio, poolside, porch or deck.
Basic Basket Column Kit includes:
12" Base Ring
2 different bolts (for you to select according to the thickness of the base of your large pot)
Spacer washer
4 ft tall column, composed of 1 x 3 ft column and 1 x 1ft extension (column is made of black 2" tubular steel)
9" disk with gripping clips
Here's how it works:
12" Steel Base Ring goes under your Large Pot. Tighten threaded bolt through center to poke up through the pot's center drainage hole. Put pot on Ring. Place spacer washer on bolt. This allows free drainage through center hole. Screw the black steel columns snugly onto bolt and spacer washer, so the base ring, pot and column are locked securely together. Lastly, attach 9" Disk with gripping clips to hold a Pamela Crawford side planting basket (sold separately).
Additional 1 ft and 2 ft extensions available.

Poor quality control in manufacturing
While the various parts appear quite attractive and sturdy, the assembled column is not. I bought two of these, and both have the same problems. The long column section leans slightly even after being tightened down. The top column section is also slightly crooked, and more importantly, wouldn't screw all the way down on to the lower column portion--there's a gap of about 1/4 between the two pieces. Lots of WD-40 helped a bit, as did removing the top piece, screwing in then removing one of the spare bolts to break in the opening at the top of the bottom section, and then putting the top pole piece back on, but the gap still exists, which is ugly. The shortest screw (reserved for this purpose as per the instructions) is too short to attach the gripping disk (I ended up using the longest screw, which I hadn't needed at the bottom), and the gripping disk wobbles a little on top of the column. Also, instructions on how to attach the basket would have been helpful (I eventually realized that the top baskets I had ordered simply wouldn't fit under all 4 clips, so I hope that using just 2 clips turns out to be enough). Given the price of these columns + the baskets + coco liners w/o side holes + big pots to go at the bottom, these ended up being quite expensive, and I expect a much better, more stable finished product for that amount of money. If it weren't such a pain to take everything apart, dirt and plants out of the baskets, and package and mail everything back for a refund, I would have done so. I hope everything holds up to summer thunderstorms, but these are a big disappointment.

PAMELA CRAWFORD'S BASKET COLUMN FOR LARGE POTS
All the parts looked sturdy when I received them. When I attached the 3 ft and 1 ft posts together I made sure not to over tighten them. When I attached the top basket to the posts the 1 ft section came completely out of the 3 ft post and the basket hit the deck spilling my plants outs. It appears the threads in the 3 ft post didn't match up well with the bolt in the bottom of the 1 ft section. I called Kinsman and they are shipping out another 1 ft section. Not sure if the issue is with both sections, but we are going to see if the new 1 ft section is a better fit.
