Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: These garden planters require assembly. Ensure you have the necessary tools and follow the provided instructions carefully to put each planter together securely.
Compatibility: Suitable for use with a wide range of soil types and plants, including flowers, vegetables, and herbs. The untreated nature of the wood makes it compatible with most paints, stains, and sealants for customization.
Care:
- Protection: As the wood is untreated, it is highly recommended to protect it from moisture and UV exposure. Apply a suitable wood sealant, stain, or paint before or shortly after assembly.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect the planters for any signs of wear, rot, or insect damage. Reapply protective coatings as needed, typically once or twice a year depending on climate.
- Drainage: Ensure adequate drainage by placing the planters on a permeable surface or by ensuring the drainage holes (if any are pre-drilled or created during assembly) are clear.
- Waterproofing: For extended lifespan, consider using a waterproof liner inside the planter to create a barrier between the soil and the wood.
- Storage: During harsh winter months or prolonged periods of wet weather, consider covering the planters with a waterproof tarp or storing them in a dry, sheltered location.
