Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of wood is used?

The planters are made from premium, pressure-treated certified timber.

How long will the planters last?

With proper care, the pressure-treated timber is designed to resist rot for up to 20 years.

Do I need to assemble the planters?

No, the planters arrive fully assembled and ready for use.

What are the exact dimensions of each planter?

Each planter measures 100 cm in width, 32 cm in height, and 40 cm in depth.

Can these planters be used indoors?

These planters are designed for outdoor use. Using them indoors may lead to moisture issues and potential damage to indoor surfaces.

What should I put at the bottom for drainage?

It is recommended to add a layer of gravel, crocks, or pot shards at the base to ensure good drainage and prevent waterlogging.

How much soil will each planter hold?

Each planter has a volume of approximately 0.128 cubic meters (100cm x 40cm x 32cm), which is roughly 128 liters. This will vary slightly depending on how you fill it.

Troubleshooting

Planter feels less sturdy than expected.

Ensure the planter is placed on a level surface. Check that no internal supports are damaged. The inherent nature of wood means some flexibility exists.

Water is not draining effectively.

Verify that the drainage holes at the bottom are not blocked by soil or debris. Add a layer of gravel or pot shards at the base before adding soil to improve drainage.

Visible mold or mildew on the surface.

Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Ensure good air circulation around the planter.

Timber appears to be drying out or cracking slightly.

This is natural for wood exposed to the elements. Applying a suitable wood treatment or sealant can help maintain moisture levels and prevent excessive drying. Minor cracks typically do not affect structural integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These planters arrive fully assembled, meaning setup is straightforward.

  1. Choose Location: Select a suitable spot in your garden, patio, or balcony. Consider sunlight requirements for the plants you intend to grow and ensure the ground is level.
  2. Position Planters: Carefully move the planters to their final position. Due to their weight, especially when empty, it is recommended to have assistance or to place them before adding soil.
  3. Add Drainage: Ensure adequate drainage by placing a layer of gravel or crocks at the bottom of the planter. This is crucial for plant health, preventing waterlogged roots.
  4. Fill with Soil: Use a good quality compost or soil mix suitable for your chosen plants.

Compatibility:

These planters are compatible with a wide range of plants, including flowers, shrubs, herbs, and vegetables. They are suitable for use on patios, decking, lawns, and other level outdoor surfaces.

Care:

To maximize the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your timber planters:

  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Treatment (Optional): While the timber is pressure-treated, applying a garden-safe wood preserver or sealant annually can further protect it and enhance its natural appearance.
  • Drainage Check: Ensure drainage holes are clear and not blocked by soil or roots.
  • Winter Care: In very harsh climates, consider moving smaller plants indoors or providing protection. Ensure good drainage to prevent frost damage to the timber.
