I only have room for one pot on one side. Too the left, that is my pathway out to my citrus trees, to get fresh oranges or ruby red grapefruit for breakfast in the morning. I could put one of the pots to the left of the stand though, right where the center block is. I have a big narrow pot that is empty out in the back by my bbq grill. I could turn it upside down, and put the other pot on top of that, by the center post. I guess I would have to take a picture of my patio for you to understand that. It's about 8 feet x 20 feet, maybe 25 feet. With three posts holding up the awning. One on each end, and one in the center. I could put the big narrow pot upside down by the center post, and put the extra pot on top of it. Or one of those single pot stands...I think I have one lying around somewhere....lol! We gardeners sure can collect a lot of clutter over the years..huh!! I finally took a whole bunch of pots I had been saving for whatever, and returned them to Bakers nursery to recycle and use again. They were very thankful for them!!
