FAQs

How many planters are included in this set?

This product listing is for a set of 2 garden planters.

Do the planters come with drainage holes?

No, the planters do not come with pre-drilled drainage holes. You can easily add them yourself with a drill if needed.

What material are the planters made of?

The planters are made of galvanised steel, which offers rust resistance and durability for outdoor use.

What are the dimensions of these planters?

The dimensions of these specific planters are 30x30x30 cm (Length x Width x Height).

Can I use these planters indoors?

While designed for outdoor use, they can be used indoors if placed on a protective surface and if drainage is managed carefully to prevent leaks.

How much soil can these planters hold?

They are deep and wide, designed to hold a large amount of soil, providing ample space for plant roots.

Are these planters stackable for storage?

The product information does not specify if they are stackable. However, due to their standard cubic shape, they might be stackable to some extent.

Troubleshooting

Planter seems unstable

Ensure the planter is placed on a level and firm surface. If the ground is uneven, consider adding a stable base or adjusting the ground level.

Water pooling inside the planter

If you have not drilled drainage holes, carefully drill several holes in the bottom of the planter to allow excess water to escape. Ensure the planter is not sitting in a puddle of water.

Surface discolouration on the planter

Galvanised steel can sometimes develop white rust (zinc oxide) or a patina over time. This is a normal reaction and does not typically affect the structural integrity. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and rust-resistant construction for extended outdoor use.
  • Spacious interior accommodates a significant amount of soil and plant growth.
  • Stable design prevents accidental tipping.
  • Protects plants from ground-level pests and weeds.
  • Allows for user-customizable drainage holes.

Cons

  • Does not include pre-drilled drainage holes, requiring user modification for optimal drainage.
  • Galvanised steel may develop a patina over time.
  • Limited to outdoor use.
  • Basic aesthetic may not suit all garden styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Unpack the planters and place them in your desired location. If you wish to add drainage holes, use a drill with an appropriate metal drill bit. Mark the desired locations on the bottom of the planter and carefully drill through the steel. Ensure the location chosen for the planter is level and stable.

Compatibility:

These planters are compatible with a wide range of soil types and plants, including flowers, vegetables, herbs, and small shrubs. They are designed for outdoor use on various surfaces such as patios, balconies, decks, and garden beds.

Care:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of the planters, clean them periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, which can scratch the surface. While galvanised steel is rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments or standing water without drainage might eventually affect the finish. Periodically check the planter for any signs of wear or damage.
