PVC formed into the shape with legs sticking into the pot.

u need to make a screen for each planter .......it pretty simple to do
get some pine fur strips 8 feet is 98 cents ...couple 90 degree angles brackets ....some mason line...some 1/8 inch finishing nails those tiny ones
cut the wood to the size u want it use the brackets to make a clean square sturdy ....then take a tape measure and mark off your grid (2 3 4 inch holes) mark all the wood with the grid...tack in a nail (not all the way) use them loop the mason line around making your net...string out one side to side then when u cross over do a loop on the u are crossing ......this lets u open and close holes sizes about 1 inch

once u make that u will notice it is nice and light u need to get a piece plywood the planter will sit on this and the poles that are attached to the screen will go on the plywood.....this means u pick up that bottom piece of plywood u are picking up the planter and the screen at the same time ( get a good piece of plywood 3/4 inch thick and u can add handles into the wood to make it easier to lift)

oh the poles
i got a idea but i do not know how to explain (redneck jerry rigger here)

u just need to do it to the inside of the frame for the netting as it is bigger then then base........and can change out the pipes for the lenght u need if getting a taller plant

I don't recommend putting pots on top of wood. Just asking for rot.

You essentially want to build a one tier square tomatoe cage.

Heck, they advertise a scrog screen on here that fits down into the pot. I can't find the ad now though. Probably better to build out of PVC and scrog netting though.

You probably wont be able to find 3 way corner pieces that are all 3 slide-in. Therefore you have to buy a screw in piece the make the 3 way corner. You'll see what I mean when you go to HD.

the wood takes 2 3 years to root .......the point is to have a way to move the whole thing at the same time .......other wise u have to use wire and have that in the soil so the planter is the center point to move the whole thing

and if worried about that just spray on some rubber ( u know flex seal) sealing the wood from the planter moisture ...or shalac the wood or paint it or coat it in mylar for reflective reasons

Or just put legs in to the pot like a tomatoe cage...

i honestly do not want to stick in something that is going to rust decay releasing partials in the soil that the roots can absorb......each use of the wire in the soil increases the wire decay and since u need to give the plant a fair amount of water to get thick big buds plus he is going to need to sink the wire fairly deep so that is the whole root zone not like a garden where the root can shoot far down and bush out like xmas tree(that root zone goes deeper then the wires)

i want to mimic the same results once i dail in a system/strain ...the wire and what is releasing as it breaking down is a unknown factor to me i do not see any benefit into adding to mix already working with .....does not matter for shit to grow a good plant once u need to repeat that same quality plant time after time after time

thanks for all the good ideas guys i was hoping for something a lil more simple but i guess thats what i have to do.
and i remember seeing that add and being impressed cuz it was so simple.
