FAQs

What are the benefits of the integrated planter?

The planter allows you to mask functional mechanical equipment with ornamental plants, helping the unit integrate naturally into your garden landscape.

Is the cover rust-resistant?

Yes, it is manufactured from 1.0mm galvanised steel, which is designed to be highly durable and weather-resistant in outdoor conditions.

Can I mount this on a wall?

Yes, the product includes adjustable wall brackets specifically designed to secure the unit to your home structure for added stability.

Will this cover restrict the airflow of my heat pump?

It is designed to provide protection without blocking airflow; however, you must ensure the unit is positioned correctly to allow air intake and exhaust as per the manufacturer's clearance requirements for your specific heat pump or AC unit.

What color is the unit?

The unit is finished in a contemporary Anthracite Grey.

How heavy is the unit once assembled?

While the steel is durable, the weight is primarily determined by the frame itself; however, adding soil and plants to the planter will increase the total weight significantly.

Troubleshooting

The cover feels wobbly on the ground.

Adjust the four heavy-duty feet individually until the unit sits level on the surface.

Vibrations from the heat pump are causing rattling noises.

Check that all assembly screws are fully tightened and ensure the unit is not making direct contact with the internal walls of the cover.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Protects outdoor units from direct weather exposure
Modern design improves visual appeal of functional equipment
Sturdy galvanised steel build offers high durability
Adjustable components accommodate uneven ground and wall positions

Cons

Requires assembly upon arrival
Adds weight to the unit area once the planter is filled
Must be installed carefully to ensure proper airflow for the machinery

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This unit is supplied in a knock-down format, meaning it arrives flat-packed for assembly. Ensure all provided screws and brackets are tightened firmly to maintain the structural integrity of the steel frame. Before assembly, verify that your heat pump or air conditioning unit dimensions fit within the internal clearance space of the cover.

Care Instructions:

Periodically inspect the galvanised finish for any scratches that may require a touch-up to prevent rust.
Keep the interior area free of debris such as leaves or twigs to maintain optimal ventilation.
When filling the planter, use a lightweight potting mix to reduce the overall load on the frame.
