FAQs

What material is the Vence Window Box made from?

The Vence Window Box is crafted from Zinc plated Steel, which makes it weatherproof and durable.

What are the dimensions of this window box?

The dimensions are Height 18cm x Width 60cm x Depth 20cm.

Can this planter be used indoors?

While it is designed for outdoor use and is weatherproof, it can be used indoors. However, care should be taken to protect indoor surfaces from potential water leakage or soil spillage.

How should I clean the window box?

Clean the window box with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning agents to preserve the finish.

Is the planter suitable for all types of plants?

Yes, it is suitable for a wide variety of plants, including flowers and herbs. Consider the mature size of the plants to ensure they fit well within the given dimensions.

Does it come with drainage holes?

The product description does not specify built-in drainage holes. It is recommended to ensure good drainage through proper potting mix and potentially adding a drainage layer.

Are there other sizes available?

Yes, Garden Trading offers the Vence Rectangular Window Planter in a 90cm size as a sibling product.

Troubleshooting

Water pooling inside the planter

Ensure your potting mix allows for good drainage. Add a layer of gravel at the bottom of the planter before adding soil, or ensure there are drainage holes if the design allows.

Rust spots appearing on the surface

This is a natural characteristic of galvanised steel over time. Minor spots can often be cleaned with a mild abrasive. For extensive rust, consider applying a metal sealant.

Planter feels unstable

Reposition the planter on a level surface. If the window sill is uneven, consider using shims to stabilize it. For permanent fixtures, explore using appropriate mounting hardware.

  • Limited to window display applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Place the window box on a sturdy, level window sill. Ensure it is securely positioned to prevent accidental falls. For added security, consider using mounting brackets if available or recommended for your specific window structure.

Compatibility: This window box is compatible with most standard window sills. It is designed for outdoor use. While it can house a variety of plants, consider the mature size of your chosen flora to ensure they fit comfortably within the H18cm x W60cm x D20cm dimensions.

Care: To maintain its appearance and longevity, clean the window box periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the zinc plating. Ensure adequate drainage for your plants by using a layer of gravel or appropriate potting mix. In areas with extreme weather, consider bringing the planter indoors during harsh winter months to prolong its life, though it is designed to be weatherproof.
