FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the planter?
The Aluzinc Trough Garden Planter measures 70cm in length, 30cm in width, and 30cm in height.
How many color options are available?
This specific model is available in a Silver finish. Other Aluzinc trough planters from Gardening Naturally may also be available in Black or Bronze Black.
Can this planter be used indoors?
Yes, the planter is suitable for indoor use. Ensure the drainage plug is inserted to prevent water from leaking, and place a tray underneath to catch any excess moisture.
How long will the planter last outdoors?
The Aluzinc material and powder-coated finish are scientifically tested to withstand harsh weathering for over 10 years with minimal wear.
Is the planter heavy once filled?
The planter itself is lightweight, allowing one person to move it when empty. Once filled with soil and plants, it will be heavier and may require more effort to reposition.
Can I plant shrubs in this planter?

Does the finish fade in sunlight?
The coated surface is designed to help maintain its color and finish when placed in bright outdoor areas.
Troubleshooting
Planter shows minor scratches
The powder-coated finish is designed to resist everyday scratches. For minor marks, a soft cloth may buff them out. If the scratch is deeper, it is unlikely to rust due to the Aluzinc material, but a touch-up paint designed for metal may be considered for aesthetic reasons.
Water is not draining effectively
Ensure the drainage hole is not blocked by soil or plant roots. Remove the plug if it is inserted for indoor use. Check that the planter is placed on a level surface to allow water to flow freely.
Finish appears dull over time
Clean the exterior of the planter with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry. This will restore the semi-reflective appearance.
