FAQs

What material is the planter made from?

The planter is constructed from hardwood.

What is the approximate plant capacity?

The planter has an approximate capacity of 50 litres.

Is the planter pre-assembled?

The product description does not specify pre-assembly, but typically planters of this type require minimal assembly or are ready for use.

Can I paint the planter a different color?

Yes, you can repaint the planter. For best results, lightly sand the existing finish and use an exterior-grade paint suitable for wood.

What types of plants are best suited for this planter?

It is suitable for most plants, including bedding plants, shrubs, and especially climbing plants due to the integrated trellis.

Does it come with a liner?

How should I maintain the grey finish?

Clean with a damp cloth. To preserve the finish, consider applying a wood protector or stain annually.

Troubleshooting

Planter finish fading

Clean the planter and reapply a suitable wood stain or furniture protector to restore and protect the finish.

Trellis stability for heavy plants

For very heavy or vigorous climbers, consider adding supplementary support by tying the plant to the trellis or a nearby structure.

Waterlogging

Ensure drainage holes at the bottom are clear and not obstructed. Use a layer of gravel or crocks at the base for improved drainage if necessary.
