Product Information

Full details

This Trifibre planter is ideal for gardeners looking to make a bold statement with large plants like trees, grasses, or feature shrubs. Its key benefit is combining a modern, large-scale design with a lightweight, durable construction that's easy to position. A potential caveat is the planter arrives without pre-drilled drainage holes, requiring user modification for optimal drainage. This planter features a rotomoulded build for strength, frost and UV resistance, a generous 175L capacity, and an adaptable design for custom drainage.

Troubleshooting

Planter feels unstable after filling

Ensure the planter is on a level surface. If drainage holes were drilled, the excess soil escaping might be the cause; ensure soil is compacted lightly.

Water pooling on the surface after rain

If drainage holes were not drilled, this indicates a need for them. Carefully drill holes in the base to allow excess water to escape.

Color fading over time

Although UV resistant, extreme prolonged exposure may cause some minimal fading. Ensure the planter is positioned to minimize constant, harsh direct sunlight if this is a concern.

  2. Drainage (Optional): This planter is supplied without drainage holes. If your chosen plant requires drainage, use a suitable drill bit (e.g., a spade bit or hole saw) to carefully create holes in the base. Start with a few holes and add more if necessary. Wear appropriate safety gear when drilling.
