I have done this and it is such a nice addition to your porch or patio. But fair warning make sure you use a heavy glass top so if or when you have heavy rain and or winds, It won't blow the top off, plus will keep critters out. I used two large clay pots inverted the bottom one upside down. Used heavy cement glue and let dry a couple days then painted it with terra cotta paint to match my decor. My sister used bird bath and put a glass top on it. If you are like me, you need the initial idea then the wheels start to turn. So have fun. -
I have some glass table tops with rusted out bottoms...hate to throw anything away LOL!...now I know what I can do with those tops...tfs!!!..wow, just noticed your from Va. Beach....Hi neighbor... -
I am definitely will do this project! Thank you for sharing -
this is different -
I have a large terracotta pot on my patio with a round rock embedded cement stepping stone on top. Necessity is the mother of invention! I like the glass over sand and shells even better! -
Brilliant! I love it! -
Great idea and so simple even I will not mess this up! -
Great for patio/porch, but I think I will use it indoors! ! This is such a cool idea! -
cute and brilliant! -
Very nice, inexpensive idea. -
Love it! -
Great idea. I did a similar thing when I had a beach house in Va. Beach at 74th Street years ago. Love it!! -
Absolutely Genius! Will have to make one, or two.... -
I am totally going to try this!!! Decent outside side tables are SO expensive--trust me, I've been looking for years! -
This is so cute. -
I love this idea -
i THINK IT WOULD BE CUTE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND THEN COVER IT WITH PLEXIGLAS , SO OUR TEXAS WIND WOULD NOT HAVE IT ALL OVER THE PORCH. YOU COULD DO WHAT EVER THEME YOU WANTED UNDER THE GLASS STILL. -
LuA ... it is under glass. look closely.

Is the glass adhered in any way? I would be afraid of a topple over and having sand all over the yard, we have dogs. was also thinking to use 2 pots,with the bases touching, to make it a bit higher -
Elke- no, the glass is resting on flat topped rubber bumpers, the kind you use for cabinets. They actually form quite a bit of suction to the glass. It's been through 3 very large storms here this summer with winds over 50mph and it was just fine. Now of course if a hurricane comes our way, it will be moved inside.;) -
So much more interesting than a matching side table! -
loving it for my side (faux) beach area! -
love it. i used half filled cement in a lg container for umbrella for shade to sit under that umbrella. I put 4 roller coasters under it to move around and locked roller coaster to stay in one position. i posted that couple months ago. -
you could add "peanuts" to take up some of the sand space to make it lighter and save on sand! -
TOO COOL!! LOVE IT!!! WILL CREATE ONE!!
