FAQs
What are the dimensions of the 36" planter?
The 36" planter is approximately 36 inches in length. Specific width and depth details are available in the product's detailed specifications, but it is designed for generous planting or feeding capacity.
What type of fixings should I use?
The type of fixing depends on your wall material. For brick walls, use appropriate masonry plugs and screws. For wooden fences or walls, use strong wood screws. Always ensure the fixings are rated for the load you intend to put on the hayrack.
Can this planter be used indoors?
While designed for exterior use, it could be used indoors if placed on a protective surface to catch water, especially if used for planting. However, its primary design and finish are for outdoor environments.
Is the coating durable?
Yes, the steel is coated with a tough black plastic and a green brush finish designed for durability and weather resistance in outdoor conditions.
How much soil can the planter hold?
The planter has a generous capacity designed to hold a significant amount of soil for a variety of plants. Exact volume will depend on the specific length chosen.
Can I paint this hayrack a different color?
While not recommended, if you choose to paint it, ensure you use a metal-friendly, outdoor-grade primer and paint. However, this may void any warranty and could affect the longevity of the original coating.
Troubleshooting
Hayrack seems loose on the wall.
Ensure all fixings are tightened securely and that the fixings are appropriate for the wall material and the weight of the filled hayrack.
Rust appearing on the surface.
Although coated, minor scratches can expose the metal. Touch up any exposed areas with a suitable metal paint designed for outdoor use.
Plants are not draining well.
Ensure adequate drainage holes are present in the base of the planter (if you have added a liner) or that the soil mix used allows for good water drainage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Garden Pride Decorative Hayrack Planter, ensure you have appropriate wall fixings suitable for your wall type (e.g., brick, wood, stone). These are not supplied with the product. Use the pre-drilled screw holes or hooks on the hayrack to secure it firmly to the wall. Ensure the wall chosen is capable of supporting the weight of the planter when filled. The planter is compatible with most standard soil mixes for planting and is ideal for hay or other animal feed. To care for your hayrack, wipe it clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic coating.
