FAQs
What type of wood is used for this planter?
The planter is constructed from C24 graded, FSC Certified 100x50mm profile Redwood, which is known for its strength and durability for outdoor use.
Is the wood treated for outdoor conditions?
Yes, all wood is pressure treated at source, making it fully suitable for outdoor use and resistant to rot and insect damage.
Does the planter come with a liner?
Yes, a liner is included to help protect the timber from prolonged contact with soil and moisture.
What is the best use for a planter of this size?
Its generous dimensions (180x40x60cm) make it ideal for larger plants such as small to medium trees, substantial shrubs, and bushy plants.
Do I need to assemble the planter?
No, the planter arrives fully assembled and ready for placement.
How often should I re-treat or seal the wood?
While pressure-treated, applying a wood sealant or stain every 1-2 years is recommended to maintain its appearance and offer extra protection against UV rays and weathering.
Can this planter be placed directly on grass?
It is best placed on a level, stable surface. While the raised base aids drainage, placing it on hardscaping like a patio or gravel provides better long-term stability and aeration.
Troubleshooting
Wood appears to be drying or fading.
Apply a suitable outdoor wood sealant or stain to protect the timber and restore its color. This is recommended annually or bi-annually.
Water pooling inside the planter.
Ensure the drainage holes at the bottom of the planter are clear and not blocked by soil or debris. The raised base should assist with drainage.
Minor surface marks or scratches.
Light sanding can remove small imperfections. For deeper marks, consider a wood filler followed by a sealant or stain.
