FAQs
Does the planter require assembly?

Can this be used for vegetables?
Yes, provided the plant's root system fits within the 46cm width and 50cm height dimensions.
Is the liner removable?
Yes, the pre-formed liner is designed to be easily placed inside and can be removed if necessary for cleaning or maintenance.

How should I clean the exterior?
Use a damp cloth with mild detergent to gently wipe down the painted surface; avoid using harsh abrasive brushes.
Can I leave this out during winter?
Yes, the quality finish is designed for outdoor conditions, though elevating it slightly on pot feet can further protect the base from ground frost.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling inside the planter
Ensure the liner's drainage holes are clear of soil blockage and that the planter is not sitting directly on a completely non-porous surface that traps water.
Wood finish showing minor scuffs
Use a matching outdoor wood touch-up paint to seal any small chips in the topcoat to prevent moisture from reaching the timber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the planter is straightforward: simply place the unit in your desired location before filling it with soil, as the weight increases significantly once planted. Ensure it is placed on a flat, level surface to prevent uneven stress on the frame. To maintain the finish, wipe down the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soapy water during spring cleaning. Check the drain holes in the included liner periodically to ensure they are not obstructed by soil or debris, allowing for proper water drainage and root health.
