Churnet Valley Garden Furniture Ltd T&g Wooden Planter Trough - L40 X W120 X H40 cm

Tanalised timber refers to wood that has been pressure treated with a preservative solution (like Tanalith E) to protect it against rot, decay, and insect attack, significantly extending its outdoor lifespan.

With proper care and maintenance, the planter is designed to resist rot for up to 20 years, thanks to the heavy-duty pressure treatment and sustainably sourced FSC certified timber.

Yes, the Rectangular Wooden Garden Planter Trough arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use.

The planter weighs approximately 25 kg when empty.

While designed for outdoor use, it can be used indoors if placed on a waterproof surface and monitored for moisture. However, its primary benefit and intended use are for gardens and patios.

A good quality potting mix or a blend of compost and topsoil is recommended, depending on the plants you intend to grow. Ensure good drainage within the soil mixture.

The product description does not explicitly mention pre-drilled drainage holes. It is advisable to ensure adequate drainage, either by drilling holes yourself or by adding a layer of gravel at the bottom before adding soil.

Ensure the planter is well-drained and not sitting in standing water. Consider applying an annual wood preservative to the interior and exterior, especially in consistently damp conditions.

Clean the affected area with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush. Ensure good air circulation around the planter. Allow to dry thoroughly.

Plan to position the empty planter in its final location before adding soil and plants. If movement is necessary, empty the planter completely or use a heavy-duty dolly or moving straps with assistance.
