Monkey poles to display Bonsai

[RogueFJ]

Does anyone know where I can get plans to build monkey poles for my bonsai?[/B]

I don't know of any plans. I built mine through improvisation--stick a six foot long 6x6 deck support pole two (or better, three if you have trees that weigh over 25 lbs) feet into ground, build platform on top...

Thanks for the info. Do you have any pictures of your stands?

I'll poke around, but there was/is a post or two in Bnut about this, some good one if I remember correctly.

search for display stands etc.

I put it in the other thread as well, but in case you don't go there -

Don't forget to attach the pot to the stand, your tree blowing off the stand(don't tell me how heavy it is, if you put it there it aint heavy enough to stay there in a good wind) will probably require a restyling at the least.
