Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Satchville Barrel Planter is straightforward. If you intend to use it for live plants, consider adding a layer of gravel at the bottom to improve drainage, as the planter does not feature factory-drilled holes. For indoor use, ensure you place a protective saucer underneath to prevent water damage to your furniture or floors. To care for the wood, it is recommended to apply a wood preservative or outdoor oil annually if the planter remains outdoors, as this will prevent the wood from drying out or graying over time due to UV exposure and moisture.
