FAQs
What type of screws should I use for mounting?
Wall mounting screws are not included. You will need to select screws appropriate for your specific wall material (e.g., brick, wood, concrete) and ensure they are long and strong enough to securely hold the weight of the trough, soil, and plants.
How often does the coco liner need replacing?
The coco liner typically lasts between one to two years, depending on your climate, watering habits, and the type of plants grown. You will notice it degrading over time.
Can I use this planter indoors?
While designed for outdoor use, it could be used indoors if placed on a waterproof surface and with adequate measures to catch any water drainage, as the coco liner is breathable and soil will be moist.
What is the warranty period for this product?
This product comes with a 2-year guarantee.
How do I clean the steel frame?
Clean the powder-coated steel frame with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the coating.
What is the weight capacity of the trough?
The product information does not specify a maximum weight capacity, but it is designed to hold soil and plants. Ensure it is mounted securely to a strong wall to support the weight.
Troubleshooting
Trough appears unstable after mounting.
Ensure appropriate screws for your wall type were used and tightened securely. Check that the wall itself is structurally sound to support the weight.
Plants are not thriving or appear waterlogged.
Verify the coco liner is intact and not compacted. Ensure adequate drainage holes are present if applicable (though coco liners are generally breathable).
Rust spots appearing on the steel frame.
This is typical for powder-coated steel exposed to the elements. For minor spots, gentle scrubbing with a non-abrasive pad may help. Ensure no deep damage to the coating.
