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.
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.
No, the planter arrives partially assembled. Some final assembly steps will be required.
The planter weighs approximately 25 kg.
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.
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.
The planter comes with a 1-year guarantee.
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.
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.
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.
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.
