FAQs
What material is the basket made from?
The basket is made from powder-coated galvanised steel, offering durability and resistance to rust, weather, and UV rays.
What are the dimensions of this hanging basket?
This specific model has a diameter of 40cm.
Does it come with a hanging chain?
The product description does not specify if a hanging chain is included. It is recommended to check the packaging details or purchase compatible hanging hardware separately.
Can this basket be used indoors?
While designed for outdoor use, it can be used indoors. However, ensure proper drainage is managed to prevent water damage to indoor surfaces.
How much soil can this basket hold?
The basket features a deep planting area, providing generous space for soil and plant roots. Exact volume depends on the potting mix used.
Is the black color fade-resistant?
The powder coating provides UV resistance, which helps to minimize fading. However, prolonged, intense direct sunlight can eventually cause some color change over time.
What is the recommended way to clean the basket?
Clean the basket using a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the powder coating.
Troubleshooting
Basket appears to be rusting
This is unlikely due to the galvanised steel and powder coating. If rust is observed, it may be on the hanging chain/hook rather than the basket itself. Clean the basket with a damp cloth. Ensure no prolonged standing water.
Hanging point feels unstable
Use a stronger, more appropriate hanging bracket or hook designed for heavier loads. Ensure the wall or ceiling structure is sound and capable of supporting the weight of the basket, soil, and plants.
Coating is chipping
Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools. If minor chipping occurs, touch up with a suitable metal paint to prevent further corrosion, though this is rare with powder coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Confirm the chosen hanging location can safely bear the load.

- Maintenance: While rust-resistant, inspect periodically for any signs of wear, particularly around connection points if an inner liner is used.
- Storage: For extended longevity, consider storing the basket indoors during harsh winter months, although it is designed for outdoor resilience.
