Does the planter come assembled?

Yes, the planter arrives fully assembled and ready for use.

What are the exact dimensions of the planter?

The dimensions are Length 40 cm x Width 120 cm x Height 40 cm.

What is the weight of the planter?

The planter weighs approximately 17 kg.

Do I need to add drainage holes?

While not pre-drilled, it is highly recommended to add drainage holes to the base of the planter for optimal plant health and to prevent waterlogging.

Can I paint or stain the planter?

Yes, you can paint or stain the planter. Ensure you use products suitable for treated timber and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

How often should I maintain the wood?

It's advisable to inspect the planter annually. Reapplying a wood sealant or stain every 2-3 years can help maintain its appearance and protection.

Troubleshooting

Wood appears to be drying out or fading

Apply a wood sealant or stain suitable for pressure-treated timber. This will help protect the wood and restore its appearance.

Water pooling at the bottom of the planter

Ensure adequate drainage by drilling holes in the base of the planter or by adding a thick layer of gravel at the bottom before filling with soil.

Minor cracks or splits appear in the wood

Small cracks are a natural characteristic of wood and usually do not affect structural integrity. Monitor for significant changes. For cosmetic repair, wood filler can be used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This planter arrives fully assembled, meaning it is ready for immediate use. Simply decide on its final position in your garden or patio before filling.

Compatibility:

  • Surface: Suitable for placement on patios, decking, gravel, or directly onto soil. Ensure the ground is level for stability.
  • Drainage: While the planter itself does not have pre-drilled drainage holes, it is highly recommended to add some for optimal plant health. You can drill holes in the base or place a layer of gravel at the bottom before adding soil.
  • Lining: For extended longevity and to prevent soil leaching, consider lining the inside of the planter with a permeable landscape fabric before filling.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Maintenance: Inspect the planter annually for any signs of wear or damage. For prolonged wood protection, you can reapply a wood sealant or stain specifically designed for treated timber every 2-3 years, especially if the wood begins to look faded.
  • Placement: Avoid prolonged waterlogging at the base. Ensure good air circulation around the planter.
