What features make a plant caddy durable and long-lasting?

When you're shopping for plant caddy, you need to consider:

- Material - Durable plant caddies are typically made from materials like metal, wood, or heavy-duty plastic. Metals like steel or wrought iron are very sturdy and weather-resistant. Wood like teak or cedar is also durable if properly sealed.

- Weight Capacity - Check the weight capacity to ensure the caddy can support the weight of your heaviest plant pot. Look for caddies rated for at least 100 lbs if you have large, heavy plants.

- Wheel Quality - High-quality wheels with ball bearings or rubber tires allow for smooth rolling and prevent sticking or jamming. Locking wheels keep the caddy securely in place when needed.

- Construction - Sturdy construction with reinforced joints and thick materials prevents wobbling or breaking under weight. Welded metal or thick plastic is more durable than screws or thin materials.

- Weather Resistance - For outdoor use, choose a caddy made from weather-resistant materials that won't rust, rot, or fade in the sun and rain. Powder-coated metal or treated wood holds up well.

- Drainage - Drainage holes or trays allow water to drain away from the pot, preventing moisture damage to the caddy over time. This is especially important for outdoor caddies.
