Product Information
Full details
The Minster Bicycle Planter is designed for gardening enthusiasts and home decorators looking for a whimsical, vintage-inspired display piece for their indoor or outdoor spaces. Its primary benefit is the combination of aesthetic charm with practical mobility, allowing you to move your favorite flowers or herbs easily throughout the day to find the perfect sunlight. While the metal construction is robust, users should note the larger 138cm footprint, which requires a substantial, level surface area for stable placement.

FAQs
Can I leave this planter outside all year?
Yes, it is constructed from durable metal suitable for outdoor use, though bringing it inside or under cover during extreme winter conditions will extend its lifespan.
What is the total weight of the planter?
The empty planter weighs approximately 6 kg.
Does this require assembly?
The product is designed to be straightforward to set up; however, check the included manual for any specific modular connections upon arrival.
Can the wheels be locked in place?
The wheels are functional for mobility, but they do not feature locking brakes, so ensure the planter is on flat, even ground.
How many plants can it hold?
It includes a trolley, bucket, basket, and main flower pot, allowing you to group multiple small to medium-sized pots or herbs simultaneously.
Troubleshooting
The planter feels unstable or wobbly
Check that the surface is level and ensure the wheels are locked or positioned correctly on flat ground.
Difficulty moving the wheels
Check for debris or small stones caught in the wheel mechanism and clear them to restore smooth movement.
Signs of surface rust
Use a light abrasive pad to remove surface oxidation and touch up with a weather-appropriate green paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This unit arrives ready to be positioned. Ensure that you place the bicycle on a level, solid surface to prevent wobbling, especially when the containers are filled with wet soil.
Care Tips:
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the metal frame with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or mud.
- Weather Protection: While the metal is durable, applying a clear, rust-resistant spray can help preserve the leaf green finish if the unit is kept in direct, harsh weather for long periods.
- Loading: Distribute the weight of your pots evenly across the basket and trolley sections to maintain balance during movement.
