The B&Q Garden Hanging Basket is an ideal choice for gardening enthusiasts looking to add a touch of vintage character to their outdoor spaces. Its primary benefit is providing a sturdy, visually appealing structure that supports trailing flowers and lush foliage, helping to elevate your garden's aesthetic. However, users should be aware that the product does not include wall-mounting hardware, requiring a separate purchase to complete the installation.

No, the hanging basket does not include a liner; you will need to purchase a coco fiber or plastic liner separately.
While designed for outdoor use, it can be used indoors provided you have a saucer to catch drainage water and a secure ceiling anchor.
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.
The basket features a distressed black finish designed for a rustic, vintage look suitable for garden environments.
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.
Ensure that your planting is distributed evenly. If plants are clustered on one side, redistribute the soil and plant mass to center the weight.
Gently sand the affected area and apply a small amount of outdoor-grade black metal paint to seal the surface.
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.
