Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These planters arrive ready for use. Simply place them in your desired location. If you wish to extend their life or prevent soil from leaching through the wood, you can line them with a heavy-duty refuse bag or weed membrane before adding soil. Ensure any lining has drainage holes corresponding to the planter's slats.
Compatibility:
These planters are compatible with most types of soil and plants, including vegetables, herbs, fruits, and ornamental flowers. They are designed for outdoor use.
Care:
- Initial Treatment: The planters are supplied with one coat of 'Taylor Brown' oil-based preservative.
- Re-application: For optimal protection and to extend the furniture's life, apply another coat of oil-based preservative every 6-12 months. Ensure the wood is clean and dry before application.
- Cleaning: Clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: While designed for outdoor use, it is best practice to store cushions indoors when not in use to maintain their freshness and prolong their life.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check and tighten any bolts or screws, as wood may expand and contract with weather conditions.
