I use these, and sit them in the saucers.

This one is holding some fish sh!t for me momentarily.
Edit: I wouldn’t recommend anything over 5gal size on those.

I got some of these I'm trying out. The 16" will hold 15 gal pots with 16" green trays.

Grainger probably has some type of plastic something. I saw a plastic pallet in a grow tent the other day. I used wood once, it grew mold and mites came to munch on the mold. Didn't bother the plants but it was gross.

That's what I use. They work great for fabric or traditional nursery pots. Never had one even crack and have used up to a 18 gallon tall nursery pot. Those be hella heavy right after watering.I got some of these I'm trying out. The 16" will hold 15 gal pots with 16" green trays.

Use pot elevators, to elevate your pot that's in a pot.

Small pavers work well, three per bag.

You can stagger them in fact for tiered elevation, if you need a pot higher than another.
Buy extra!

I bought one of the resin style plant spinners, it's really nice when growing one large plant inside a tent Stupid expensive though if not on sale.

I would raise a fabric planter to always be a good planter. When it's capable of helping other planters it should do so. I would teach it to always be respectful to its inhabitants.
This is how I would raise a fabric planter if I got one when it was nothing more than a little cup.

i drape a bunch of pieces of 3/4" polypropylene strips across/through these risers and into matching saucers
plants stay perpetually watered by wicking and i only add water to the saucer

30 gallon, might want a block in the middle and one on each end. The bottom of the bag forms around the rebar. I laid two more rebars across the top of the bags to fight the wind. Worked great.

Grab each handle and proceed to lift. Raising is easy, its preventing gravity from pulling it back down that gets tricky. I recommend plant risers to battle gravity.
