Each wall trough measures approximately 61 cm in length, 19 cm in width, and 16 cm in depth (L x W x D).
No, the wall mounting screws are not included with the delivery. You will need to provide your own suitable screws and wall plugs.
Yes, they can be used indoors if you have a suitable wall space and can manage potential watering drips. Using a liner or drip tray underneath might be advisable for indoor use.
The lifespan of the liner can vary. It is typically recommended to replace it every 1-2 years, or sooner if it shows signs of significant wear, compaction, or decomposition, to maintain optimal plant health.
The frame is made of steel with a powder coating for durability and rust resistance.
Each trough has dimensions of 61 x 19 x 16 cm, providing a good volume for planting various flowers and plants, suitable for creating impactful displays.
You can clean the steel frame by wiping it with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
Ensure the correct wall fixings are used for the wall type and that all screws are tightened securely. Check if the mounting surface itself is sound.
Check the coconut fiber liner for dryness deep within. If the liner is compacted or overly dry, it may not be absorbing water effectively. Ensure adequate drainage and consider if the plants are receiving enough sunlight.
Ensure there are no blockages in the liner or the base of the trough that would impede drainage. The coconut fiber liner itself allows for drainage, but compacted soil or debris can cause issues.
The powder coating offers rust resistance, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather may cause minor surface rust. Clean the area with a soft cloth and consider applying a protective coating suitable for outdoor metal if extensive rust appears.
Setup: To set up your wall troughs, first ensure you have appropriate wall mounting screws and wall plugs suitable for your chosen mounting surface. Position the trough at the desired height and mark the screw locations. Securely fasten the trough to the wall or fence. Once mounted, gently fill the coconut fiber liner with potting soil and plant your chosen flowers or plants. Ensure the mounting is stable enough to support the weight of the trough filled with soil and plants.
Compatibility: These troughs are compatible with most standard wall and fence surfaces, provided you use the correct fixings. They are designed for outdoor and indoor use where wall mounting is feasible. They are not suitable for free-standing use.
Care: To maintain the troughs, regularly check the mounting screws for tightness. The steel frame can be wiped clean with a damp cloth if necessary. The coconut fiber liner should be kept moist for optimal plant health. Depending on the climate and plant type, the liner may need to be replaced annually or bi-annually to ensure continued aeration and drainage. Remove old soil and debris before replacing the liner.
