5 Gallon Bucket Garden Drainage Stands

If you use 5 gallon buckets for container gardening, I designed these stands for the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket. I only tested them with the Home Depot 5 gallon bucket so far, but I made them so they are a precise snug fit on the bottom and elevate the bucket 1/4" to allow for easy drainage.

I printed using PETG at 40% fill to allow for some flexibility and you can print 3 or 4 of them for the bottom of the bucket. Enjoy!
