The structure is designed with gaps and raised feet to ensure water runoff, though you may add extra drill holes in the base if specific plant species require higher drainage.
Yes, you can paint or stain the exterior using a wood-compatible outdoor paint or preservative.
It is treated with a Wood Shield finish to protect against elements, but it is recommended to maintain this annually.
Due to the 140cm length, estimate approximately 100-120 liters of compost depending on how deep you fill the trough.
The Ruddings Wood Planter Trough is handmade in Great Britain.
Yes, the timber is robust and the Wood Shield treatment is designed for outdoor, all-season use.
Ensure the planter is placed on a hard, level surface; if on soil, use a brick or paving stone under each foot to prevent the wood from sinking.
This is a natural process for outdoor timber. Clean the surface and apply a fresh coat of wood stain or water-repellent treatment to restore the aesthetic.
Line the interior of the planter with heavy-duty garden landscape fabric before filling to secure the soil while still allowing water to drain.
Since this planter arrives fully assembled, setup is straightforward: simply position the unit on a flat, level surface. While the unit is treated with Wood Shield, you can extend its lifespan by applying an additional exterior-grade wood preservative annually. To protect the interior timber, many users choose to line the inside with a breathable landscape fabric before adding soil, which helps keep moisture away from the wood directly. Avoid placing the planter on grass or soil where it might sink; hard surfaces like concrete, decking, or patio pavers are ideal to ensure the drainage feet remain unobstructed.
