FAQs

Does this basket come with a liner?

No, the hanging basket does not include a liner; you will need to purchase a coco fiber or plastic liner separately.

Can this be used indoors?

While designed for outdoor use, it can be used indoors provided you have a saucer to catch drainage water and a secure ceiling anchor.

What is the weight capacity?

The basket is constructed to be sturdy, but we recommend mounting hardware capable of supporting at least 10-12kg once the plants and soil are saturated.

Is the black finish powder-coated?

The basket features a distressed black finish designed for a rustic, vintage look suitable for garden environments.

What type of hook do I need?

You should look for a heavy-duty wall bracket or a wrought iron hook designed for hanging baskets that matches the 3.5kg weight of the empty frame.

Troubleshooting

The basket tilts when filled

Ensure that your planting is distributed evenly. If plants are clustered on one side, redistribute the soil and plant mass to center the weight.

The finish is showing signs of rust

Gently sand the affected area and apply a small amount of outdoor-grade black metal paint to seal the surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic distressed black finish matches various outdoor decor styles
  • Large capacity allows for complex plant arrangements
  • Heavy-duty build quality ensures long-lasting outdoor use
  • Ideal depth for deep-rooting flowering plants

Cons

  • Wall hanging hardware is not included with the purchase
  • The 3.5kg weight requires a strong mounting point
  • Distressed finish may require touch-ups if exposed to harsh, wet climates for extended periods

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your basket, identify a location that receives the appropriate sunlight for your specific plant choice. You will need to purchase a separate wall bracket or ceiling hook, as these are not included. When installing, use appropriate masonry or wood screws depending on your mounting surface.

To maintain the aesthetic, wipe the frame down with a damp cloth at the start of each season. If you notice signs of oxidation due to the distressed nature of the paint, a simple touch-up with outdoor-rated black paint will preserve the finish. During extreme winter conditions, it is advisable to take the basket down to prevent unnecessary stress on the metal frame.
