The best hooks for hanging pots

The best brands of hooks for hanging flower pots

Finding specific brands of pot hangers is almost impossible, because it is a generically manufactured accessory. For this reason, instead of talking about brands, we will recommend some places where you can buy them based on their quality-price ratio.

Lidl

We’re starting with Lidl, because from time to time, especially when spring is approaching, it often brings in garden accessories, including: provides its customers with hooks for hanging flower pots.

It’s not that it gives a lot of variety, because it only has a few models, hopefully. However, it draws attention with its price, durability and quality of the product.

Amazon

We recommend it because this is where you will find the greatest variety of hooks, something that is practically impossible to find in other stores. Only the following products can compete with this product (and many others).

AliExpress

Finally AliExpress. In fact, some of the products you see on Amazon will be available on AliExpress, only their price may be the same or cheaper. The only “disadvantage” of this store is the waiting time for the order.

Buying guide for pot racks

When we think about buying hooks for hanging pots, it is because we would like to have plants hanging on walls or in high rooms, for example, because they are hanging plants. Or because you are running out of floor space.

The problem is that sometimes we think they are worth something, but they are not. In fact, this is the best way for your pot to fall and break under the weight. Or that it does not provide stability.

Do you want to know what you should pay attention to when buying hooks for hanging flowerpots? Note.

Hook types

When purchasing hooks for hanging flower pots, there are many types on the market, and your choice will depend on where you want to employ them. Some will be more suitable for specific surfaces and even the weight of the pot itself.

This way you can find the following information:

• ceiling: These are the ones that are attached to the ceiling with screws and have a hanger or hook suspended in the air on which the pots are hung.
• wall: In this case, instead of screwing into the ceiling, it is screwed into the wall, having one or two arms to hang the pot. Another option is that they have a base to hold this pot and that it does not move.
• balustrades: finally you will have special hooks for balustrades, for example balconies or terraces. They allow you to set up a system that allows you to leave the pots at the top so that they do not pose a threat at the bottom (as a result of an accidental fall).

Libra

Another very crucial point, and perhaps the most crucial, is the weight that the hook can withstand. And the fact that the pots themselves weigh because of the ground on which they are located. But when calculating their weight, it should be done when the pot is watered, because that is where you can see the real weight of the pot.

Once you know this, make sure the hooks you are hanging your pots on are suitable for the weight.

Material

You already have the type of hook and the weight it can withstand. But in the market we can find hooks made of many different materials: iron, steel, aluminum, plastic.

What determines the choice of one or the other? Basically, the weight you have to carry. But we understand that you should also take care of the style or decoration you have in your home to match it.

Price

Finally, we have the product price. And although it is not a relatively costly product, the truth is that it depends. The cheapest and most basic ones can be found for 5 euros or less. But the more sophisticated, stylish ones that meet the minimum material and weight requirements can cost over XX euros.

Where to buy?

To finish and aid you throughout the purchasing process, we wanted to check if the main stores where you shop online carry this product. Here are the stores we analyzed.

Amazon

With over 10,000 results (though, as always, you’ll have to filter them to find out which ones work and which don’t), this is where you’ll find the greatest variety of models, styles, patterns and types.

Their prices are not bad, although in some cases on products you might consider Chineseyou can look at other stores to see if they would be cheaper (and they often are).

Leroy Merlin

At Leroy Merlin you will find a wide range of hanging hooks. But what you are looking for is specifically for pots, the search returns no results.

Nevertheless, of those we have available, some can be adapted to the pot you have. The prices are quite affordable (from one euro).

Ikea

Even though we looked for pot racks at IKEA, we got a generic result.

We couldn’t find any specific pots, but Some results can always be adjusted.
