FAQs
Can this basket be used indoors?
Yes, its aesthetic design makes it a great decorative piece for indoor sunrooms or living areas, provided you use a suitable drip tray.
What is the total height of the unit?
The basket measures 115 cm in total height, including the hanging mechanisms.
Does this basket come with a liner?
The product as described is the decorative basket frame; you will need to purchase a liner separately that fits the 47 cm width.
Is the cream finish weather-resistant?
Yes, it is designed for outdoor use, though regular cleaning and storage during extreme winter weather will extend its lifespan.
Can I hang this from a standard garden hook?
Ensure your garden hook is heavy-duty and securely anchored, as the size and weight of this basket once filled with soil and water require robust support.
Troubleshooting
The basket appears to lean to one side.
Check the weight distribution of the plants inside the basket and ensure the chain hooks are balanced.
Surface marks or dirt accumulation on the ornate metal.
Gently clean with a soft sponge and mild soapy water, then rinse thoroughly and pat dry to maintain the cream finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal setup, ensure that the hook or mounting bracket used to support the basket is rated for the combined weight of the metal basket, wet soil, and plants. Since the product is intended for outdoor use, periodic maintenance is recommended to preserve the cream finish. You should gently wipe the frame with a damp cloth at the start of each season to remove dust or accumulated garden debris. If you live in an area with harsh winters, it is advisable to bring the basket inside or store it in a shed to prevent potential oxidation or surface wear caused by ice and prolonged freezing temperatures.
