Troubleshooting

Planter panels do not align during assembly

Ensure the panels are correctly oriented as per the instructions and that the base is level. Slightly loosen screws until all panels are in place, then tighten firmly.

Wood appears to be weathering unevenly

This is normal for natural timber. Apply a coat of exterior wood treatment, stain, or paint to achieve a uniform look and provide protection.

Drainage seems poor

Ensure the planter is not sitting in standing water. Consider adding a layer of gravel or broken pottery at the base before adding soil, or drill additional drainage holes if placing on a solid surface.
