FAQs

What does 'Tanalised' timber mean?

Tanalised timber is pressure-treated with a wood preservative solution that penetrates deep into the wood. This process is designed to protect the timber from rot, fungal decay, and insect attack, significantly extending its lifespan, especially in outdoor conditions.

How long will the planter last?

With proper care, the tanalised timber is designed to resist rot for up to 20 years. Regular cleaning and occasional treatment with a suitable wood preservative can help achieve this longevity.

Does it come fully assembled?

No, the planter arrives partially assembled. Some final assembly steps will be required.

What is the weight of the planter?

The planter weighs approximately 25 kg.

Can I paint or stain the planter?

While the natural wood finish is designed to be aesthetically pleasing, you can paint or stain the planter if desired. Ensure you use products specifically designed for outdoor use and treated timber. Allow the timber to dry fully after treatment.

What kind of plants is this planter suitable for?

The generous size makes it suitable for a wide variety of plants, including flowers, herbs, small shrubs, and decorative grasses. Ensure plants chosen are appropriate for your climate and the planter's exposure to sun and shade.

What is the warranty period?

The planter comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Planter seems unstable after assembly.

Ensure all fixings are securely tightened and that the planter is placed on a perfectly level surface. Check that the partially assembled components were correctly aligned during setup.

Wood shows signs of surface mold or mildew.

Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution and a soft brush. Allow to dry thoroughly. Consider applying a suitable wood preservative suitable for treated timber.

Excessive water pooling in the planter.

Confirm that the drainage holes (if present or created) are not blocked. Ensure the planter is not sitting in a location that collects standing water. Adding a layer of gravel at the base can improve drainage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable, rot-resistant construction due to tanalised timber.
  • Handmade in the UK ensures quality craftsmanship.
  • Large planting area suitable for a variety of plants.
  • Aesthetically pleasing design that enhances outdoor spaces.
  • Robust build with thick timber profiles.

Cons

  • Significant weight (25 kg) before planting requires careful placement.
  • Requires periodic maintenance to maximize the 20-year rot resistance guarantee.
  • Partially assembled, so some assembly will be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This planter arrives partially assembled. Ensure you have a clear, level area for placement before proceeding. Final assembly may involve securing any remaining components according to the included instructions.

Compatibility: The Elegant Trough Planter is designed to complement garden furniture and is suitable for patios, decking, balconies, and garden pathways. It is ideal for use with standard potting soil and a variety of plants, from flowers and herbs to small shrubs.

Care: To maintain the planter's appearance and ensure the longevity of the tanalised timber, it is recommended to clean it periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. While the timber is treated to resist rot, occasional application of a wood preservative or sealant (suitable for treated timber) can further protect it, especially in very wet climates. Ensure good drainage by placing the planter on a level surface and consider adding a layer of gravel at the bottom before filling with soil. Ensure the area around and under the planter allows for air circulation to prevent moisture build-up.
