FAQs
Can this planter be used indoors?
Yes, it can be used indoors, but ensure you use a saucer or tray to protect your furniture from potential moisture seepage.
Will the planter rust?
As it is made of zinc, it is resistant to rust; however, it will naturally weather and develop a patina over time when exposed to the elements.
Does the planter come with drainage holes?
No, this model does not come with pre-drilled holes. You can drill your own if needed or use a layer of gravel for drainage.
What is the diameter of the planter?
The Satchville Round Ribbed Planter has a diameter of 28cm.
Is this planter frost-proof?
While the metal is durable, we recommend moving the planter to a sheltered area during severe winter freezing to prevent soil expansion damage.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling inside the planter
Drill small holes in the base for drainage or ensure a significant layer of drainage material is added before planting.
Surface oxidation or marks on the patio
Place a protective plastic or ceramic saucer underneath the planter to prevent direct contact with decking or stone.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your planter, first ensure you have added a layer of gravel or expanded clay pebbles at the bottom to improve drainage, as the container does not come with pre-drilled holes. For long-term care, wipe the surface periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust. If you prefer to maintain the 'aged' look, simply allow it to weather naturally. If you wish to protect the finish, a clear exterior-grade lacquer may be applied, though natural weathering is often considered a design feature of this product.
