I really love my black poodle-shaped pot feet, which I ordered online from the UK about two years’ ago. I placed four poodles under each of my two VERY large, black, 50cm x 50cm square London planters either side of my front door. The poodle feet look so cute, and they keep the planters off the pavers so the water can drain away. Each London planter holds a cone-shaped Buxus topiary tree at 160cm tall and weighing around 80kg.
However, late last year, I was faced with a problem, as there was no way I could move the planters because of their size, weight, and of course, the carefully positioned pot feet under each London planter (which took two of us to do). And I really needed to move the pots because after all of the love and attention I’d given these beautiful and healthy Buxus topiary trees, they'd started dying on one side - the side that faced the front door and wall of the house.
I needed a solution to be able to turn the planters regularly so that the trees could enjoy sunshine and air from all sides. I searched online for a few months and finally came across the Omnia glider. I ordered 2 of the 90kg gliders and, sadly, said goodbye to the decorative poodle pot feet.
My Husband was suspicious, but also very hopeful that I'd found a pot stand that would actually work and not break (like the pot stands we’d bought last year with black castor wheels that buckled under the weight of the pots and wouldn’t glide across the sandstone pavers and grout lines on the front patio).
So, just before Christmas, we installed the Omnia plant gliders, and (literally) with a slight push, I could now move my heavy square London planters and topiary trees. I have since turned each of them to face the Sydney sunshine and fingers crossed, the leaves will grow back on the side that faced the house for the past two years!
As an added bonus, the Omnia gliders sit high enough under each London planter so there’s plenty of drainage below each one, and leaves won’t get caught underneath.
We were so happy with the quality and service, I put in an order for my birthday last week and just received my 3rd 90kg glider, with more to come! Perhaps there'll be a special discount code for Mothers’ Day?!?
Thanks for a great product that actually works!
