Product Information
Full details
The Red Hamper Double Steamed Willow Garden Trug is designed for avid gardeners and home enthusiasts who value both aesthetic appeal and practical storage for harvesting fresh produce, herbs, and garden clippings. Its primary benefit lies in the durable, hand-crafted double steamed willow construction which offers a sturdy vessel for heavy garden tasks while maintaining a classic, rustic charm. Prospective buyers should be aware that because it is fashioned from natural materials, each piece displays unique variations in color and size, and it is not intended for long-term outdoor storage in harsh, wet weather conditions.

FAQs
Can I use this for outdoor storage?
While it is a garden trug, it is made of natural willow and should not be left outdoors in rain or snow as this will cause the material to rot.
What are the exact dimensions?
The dimensions are 61cm x 35cm x 12cm.
Is the finish natural or stained?
The finish is a result of the double steaming process applied to the willow, which creates the deep brown color without the need for artificial stains.
Can it hold heavy items like stones or gravel?
It is designed for garden harvests. While sturdy, it is not intended for heavy, abrasive landscaping materials like gravel or stone.
Does the size vary significantly?
Because each trug is hand-crafted from natural materials, there may be slight, minor variations in dimensions, but it will be very close to the listed size.
Troubleshooting
Basket appears slightly wobbly or uneven
This is normal for hand-woven natural willow; if it is unstable on a flat surface, gently press down on the base to redistribute the natural fibers.
Visible signs of mold or mildew
Clean the area with a mixture of water and a small amount of white vinegar, then place the basket in a warm, dry area with good airflow to dry thoroughly.
Loose willow strand
Carefully tuck the end of the strand back into the weave, or apply a tiny amount of wood glue to secure it if it continues to pop out.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This product is ready for use immediately upon arrival; no assembly is required. To maintain the longevity of your trug, store it in a dry, well-ventilated area when not in use. If the basket becomes wet during harvesting, wipe away excess soil or debris and allow it to air-dry completely in a shaded, ventilated space to prevent moisture damage or mildew. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the natural finish; a soft, dry brush is usually sufficient to remove dried dirt. If deep cleaning is necessary, use a damp cloth with mild soap, but ensure the basket is fully dried before placing it back into storage.
