FAQs

Are the planters stackable?

No, the planters are designed to be freestanding and are not stackable.

Do I need to assemble the planters?

No, the planters are fully assembled and ready for immediate use upon arrival.

What is the purpose of the preservative treatment?

The oil-based water repellent preservative helps protect the wood from moisture and weathering, extending the planter's lifespan and maintaining its appearance.

Can I leave these planters outside all year round?

Yes, they are designed for outdoor use. However, for maximum longevity, especially in harsh climates, consider storing them in a sheltered location during severe winter months or ensuring they are well-drained.

What are the exact dimensions of each planter?

The square planter dimensions are D475mm x W475mm x H385mm. The rectangular planter dimensions are D410mm x W1090mm x H385mm.

How do I line the planters?

You can use a heavy-duty refuse bag or a piece of landscape fabric (weed membrane). Cut to size and place inside the planter, folding the edges over the rim if necessary. Ensure it doesn't completely block drainage at the bottom.

Troubleshooting

Wood appears dry or faded

Re-apply a suitable oil-based wood preservative or stain to protect and enhance the timber's appearance.

Water pooling inside the planter

Ensure adequate drainage holes are present or consider adding a layer of drainage material (e.g., gravel) at the base. Lining the planter can also help manage moisture levels.

Planter wobbles or is unstable

Ensure the planter is placed on a firm, level surface. Adjust the position slightly or use shims if the ground is uneven.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides two distinct planter shapes for varied planting arrangements.
  • Treated wood offers protection against weathering and decay.
  • Freestanding design allows for easy placement and repositioning.
  • Optimized for corner placement, making efficient use of garden space.

Cons

  • Requires lining for long-term use with consistently moist soil.
  • Wood may require occasional re-treatment to maintain its condition.
  • Relatively heavy (26 kg total), making relocation more challenging once filled.

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.
