The Bespoke Outdoor Somerset Garden Planter Trough is designed for homeowners and landscapers who prioritize both modern aesthetics and long-term durability in their outdoor spaces. Handmade in the UK, these planters provide an ideal environment for flowers, vegetables, or screening, featuring pressure-treated timber that is both pet and food-safe. While the robust 45mm timber profile ensures structural integrity and an estimated 25-year lifespan, the primary caveat is the weight of the preassembled unit, which may require assistance when positioning in your garden.

Yes, the timber is pressure-treated and specifically designated as food-safe, making it suitable for growing vegetables and herbs.
Yes, every Somerset planter includes a fitted liner so you can start planting immediately.
With proper care and by ensuring the base is kept clear of debris, the planter has an estimated lifespan of up to 25 years.
No, the Bespoke Outdoor Somerset range arrives fully preassembled.
While the raised design helps, it is recommended to place the planter on a patio, gravel, or paved surface to prevent the timber from constantly soaking in wet grass, which will maximize its lifespan.
Check that the drainage holes or the gap at the base are not obstructed by soil or roots. Add a layer of gravel at the bottom before adding soil to improve flow.
This is normal for outdoor timber; apply a high-quality, non-toxic outdoor wood preservative or stain to restore the finish and protect the grain.
Since the Somerset Planter arrives preassembled, your setup process is straightforward: simply find a level surface to ensure the weight is distributed evenly.
Compatibility: The planters are compatible with a wide range of soil types and drainage media. When placing them on decking, ensure the deck supports are directly underneath the planter feet to prevent bowing over time.
Care: While the pressure treatment provides exceptional longevity, you can prolong the wood's appearance by applying a wood preservative or UV-protectant stain every few years. Periodically check that the drainage gaps under the base remain clear of debris to ensure continued moisture management.
