FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the planter?

The planter measures approximately 20cm in length, 75cm in width, and 20cm in height (L x W x H).

Does it come with a liner?

Yes, the planter comes complete with a co-co liner, ready for planting.

What material is the planter made from?

The planter is constructed from solid rod steel with strong welded joints and features a tough epoxy coating.

Can I use this planter indoors?

While designed for outdoor use, it can be used indoors if placed on a waterproof surface and if drainage is managed carefully. However, its primary design is for exterior walls and fences.

How much weight can this planter hold?

The planter is built with a 4mm bar thickness for durability, but the exact weight capacity depends heavily on the secureness of the mounting fixings and the wall structure.

How do I attach it to my wall?

The planter itself does not come with mounting hardware. You will need to purchase appropriate screws, bolts, or brackets suitable for your wall type (e.g., brick, wood) and the weight of the filled planter.

What is the purpose of the epoxy coating?

The tough epoxy coating provides durability against weather conditions and prevents rust, while also giving the planter a classic wrought iron appearance.

Troubleshooting

Planter feels unstable after mounting.

Ensure the correct wall fixings are used and are securely fastened. Check if the wall surface is strong enough to support the weight. Re-evaluate the mounting points.

Co-co liner is deteriorating quickly.

This is normal wear for co-co liners. Replace the liner annually or as needed for optimal plant health and aesthetics.

Rust spots appearing on the planter.

Minor rust spots can occur over time. These can often be touched up with a suitable metal paint or coating designed for outdoor use to prevent further corrosion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for use with most types of soil and compost mixes. Compatible with a wide variety of flowering plants, herbs, and even small trailing vegetables. Ensure plants chosen have similar light and water requirements for best results.
