Plant pot stand. DOB?

I saw this yesterday in the gardening section of the supermarket.

In anticipation of the arrival of an 8" Dob, I got one.

It looks ideal to sit a Dob instead of putting castors on the base.

That actually looks pretty cool. You'd have to find a way to attach your Dob to the base though, just to give it some security. You don't want to wheel it and for the wheels to catch on a stone or something and the Dob go for 6.

P.S. Love how it's called Mega Roll

Yeah, looks good, but how wide is it?

And notice other part of label: "support your plantes", just re-arrange that last word

It's a bit wider than the 52cm diameter of the SW 8" base board.

ok, and realised after a double-take seeing your sig location, I mis-read "pour/your". sacre bleu!!!

Simple and neat !

Would you leave the Dob on that trolley while observing or is it just for moving it around?

If you observe with it on the trolley wouldnt you need some kind of braking system?...............maybe a few bricks would do,LOL.

I'm going to leave it on whilst observing. I need to raise the height a little so I can see low in the sky over the balcony rail, and because I'll be sat down (wheelchair user).

It's got brakes, but they don't show on the pics.
