FAQs
Is the planter waterproof?
The planter is constructed from pressure-treated timber and includes a liner. While designed to hold soil and moisture, it is not a waterproof container itself. The liner helps protect the wood from direct contact with excessive moisture.
Can I paint or stain the planter?
Yes, you can paint or stain the planter to a colour of your choice. Ensure you use products suitable for outdoor timber.
What is the weight of the product?
This specific model (L120 x W40 x H180 cm) weighs 172.8 kg.
Does it come fully assembled?
The planter and trellis are delivered pre-assembled separately. They require a simple joining process upon delivery using the provided screws.
Can I add wheels to the planter?
Yes, optional add-ons such as four castors can be fitted to the planter. Please contact us to arrange this.
How deep is the planter section?
For this model (L120 x W40 x H180 cm), the planter section is 60 cm high.
Is the trellis suitable for heavy climbing plants?
The trellis is constructed from robust timber and is designed to support climbing plants. For very heavy or mature plants, ensuring adequate ground support or securing the unit might be advisable.
Troubleshooting
Planter and trellis do not align perfectly.
Ensure the planter is placed flush against the trellis base. Minor adjustments can be made by slightly loosening and re-tightening screws if needed. Pre-drilled holes should provide accurate alignment.
Screws do not go in easily.
Ensure you are using a suitable drill bit. If the wood feels very dense, a pilot hole can be gently created first, though pre-drilled holes should accommodate the screws.
Wood appears slightly warped.
This can occasionally happen with natural timber. The weight of soil and plants will often help straighten minor warping once filled and assembled. Ensure screws are tightened securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Upon delivery, the planter and trellis will be separate components. To assemble, align the planter with the base of the trellis. Using a drill (power or hand), secure the planter to the trellis with the 10 provided screws. These are inserted into pre-drilled holes, making the process straightforward and typically taking around 5 minutes for one or two people, depending on the size.
Compatibility: This planter is designed for outdoor use. It is compatible with standard soil and compost mixes. For specific plant needs, ensure adequate drainage within the planter.
Care: The timber is pressure-treated for longevity. To maintain its appearance, clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Periodic re-treatment with a suitable wood preserver can extend its lifespan further, especially if placed in exposed conditions.
