Setup:
This planter comes mostly assembled. The main structure sits on its legs, and the only build required is to attach the base with four screws. Ensure you have a screwdriver for this simple assembly step.
Compatibility:
The planter is designed for outdoor use in gardens, patios, or balconies. It is compatible with standard potting soil and plant types suitable for raised beds. Ensure the ground surface where the planter will be placed is level and stable.
Care:
To maintain the longevity of the wooden planter, regular care is recommended. Clean the planter periodically with a damp cloth. For wood protection, consider applying a non-toxic, garden-safe sealant or wood treatment annually, especially after the first year, to guard against weathering and moisture. Ensure good drainage by not letting water sit at the base for extended periods.
