FAQs
Can this trough be used indoors?
Yes, it can be used indoors, provided the surface can support the 60 kg weight and you use a waterproof tray beneath it to catch water from the drainage holes.
Is the planter frost-proof?
The cast stone construction is designed for outdoor durability, but like most stone products, it should be kept raised off the ground in winter to ensure proper drainage.
Does it require assembly?
No, the planter is a single-piece unit and arrives ready to use.
Can I paint this planter?
While you can paint cast stone, it is generally recommended to keep the original aged cream-white finish as it is designed to weather naturally.
How do I move the planter once it's full?
Due to its weight, it is not designed to be moved once filled. We recommend using a heavy-duty trolley or moving it with a partner before adding soil.
Troubleshooting
Planter finish appears dull after exposure
Clean gently with water and a soft cloth to remove dust; the aged look is intentional and part of the aesthetic.
Drainage holes clogging with soil
Place a small piece of mesh or a layer of gravel over the drainage holes before adding soil to keep the passage clear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Placement: Due to the 60 kg weight, ensure the surface (decking, stone, or patio) can support the total weight of the trough plus the weight of wet soil and plants.
Drainage: While the trough includes two drainage holes, you may add a layer of horticultural grit or broken crocks at the base before adding soil to ensure optimal water flow.
Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and clean water to remove dust or moss buildup. Avoid using high-pressure power washers, which may damage the aged finish.
Winter Care: While durable, ensure the planter is slightly raised off the ground during freezing months to prevent trapped water from expanding at the base.
