Troubleshooting

Wood appears to be drying or fading

Reapply a quality wood preservative or sealant annually. Ensure the planter is not exposed to constant direct sunlight if fading is a concern.

Water pooling at the bottom of the planter

Ensure the planter is on a level surface and that drainage holes (if any, though open design implies natural drainage) are not blocked. Add a layer of drainage material like gravel at the base.

Minor cracks appearing in the wood

Small cracks can be a natural characteristic of wood expanding and contracting. If significant, consider using a wood filler suitable for outdoor use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers great value with three large planters in one pack.
  • The open design allows for creative and abundant planting.
  • Treated for water repellency and made from sustainable FSC-sourced wood.
  • Arrives fully assembled, ready for immediate use.
  • Each planter has a substantial 62-litre capacity for plant growth.

Cons

  • Large size requires significant space for placement.
  • Wood construction may require periodic maintenance to preserve appearance.
  • Weight of 8 kg per planter means they are heavy once filled.
  • Open design might require additional liner for certain soil types or to prevent excessive drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These planters arrive fully assembled, meaning no construction is required. Simply choose your desired location, ensure the ground is level, and fill with appropriate compost. For optimal drainage, consider placing a layer of gravel or crocks at the bottom of the trough before adding soil.

Compatibility: These troughs are compatible with a wide range of plants, from annuals and perennials to shrubs and small trees. Ensure the chosen plants suit the 62-litre volume and the dimensions of the trough. They are suitable for placement on patios, decking, gravel, or directly onto soil.

Care: The planters are treated with a water-repellent preservative. To maintain their appearance and prolong their life, it is recommended to reapply a suitable wood preservative or oil annually, especially at the beginning of the growing season. Clean with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can damage the wood over time. Consider using a planter liner if you wish to protect the wood further or manage soil moisture more precisely.
