Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These planters are freestanding and require no assembly. Simply place them in your desired location. Ensure the ground is level for stability.
Compatibility:
Compatible with most soil types and garden settings. For optimal plant health and planter longevity:
- Consider lining the planters with a heavy-duty refuse bag or weed membrane, especially if you intend to grow plants that require consistently moist soil or if your climate involves significant rainfall.
- Ensure adequate drainage by using a layer of gravel or clay pebbles at the bottom before adding soil.
Care:
The planters are treated with an oil-based water repellent preservative. To maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Periodically clean the exterior with a damp cloth.
- Inspect the wood annually for any signs of wear.
- Consider re-applying a suitable wood preservative or oil every 1-2 years, depending on exposure to the elements, to protect the timber and enhance its natural beauty.
