Since the finished plant holder is supposed to find its place in the garden, exposed to the elements, we recommend that you protect all the metal surfaces with some primer paint and do the finish painting with a color you like. Also, we recommend that the entire bicycle plant holder is painted with a color that makes metal look aged, thus creating the rust and patina effect for more rustic/antique appeal. Today there are many such colors for metal that can be purchased at reasonable prices.
If you do not have the time or skills needed to make this plant holder, try to find a discarded vintage bicycle that can be refurbished and repainted; then shop for some complementary baskets (or make them yourselves) and weld/mount them to the bike. In this way, you might get a bicycle plant holder not as attractive as the one in our project, but it will certainly be a nice garden decoration created with far less effort and at a lower price.
However, if you have made up your mind and you have the necessary skills, do not hesitate to make this bicycle plant holder based on our drawings, and feel free to redesign it to your liking. On the Internet there is a large number of pictures of bicycle plant holders that can give you ideas on how your bicycle should look like, what basket size to choose, whether you prefer front or rear baskets, etc.

We hope that you are pleased with this welding project of ours, and that you will share your experience by sending us the photos of your own finished projects.
