Troubleshooting
Wood color fading or turning grey over time
This is a natural process for outdoor timber. Apply an exterior-grade wood stain or preservative to restore the original hue.
Water pooling inside the planter
Ensure that the drainage holes at the base are not obstructed by soil or debris. Use a layer of gravel or leca at the bottom for better drainage.
Surface marks or mild green deposits
Lightly scrub the area with a soft-bristled brush and warm soapy water to remove organic debris or surface algae.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this unit is heavy, select your desired location before filling it with soil. Place the planter on a flat, solid surface to prevent uneven weight distribution. While the wood is pressure-treated, you can maintain its appearance by applying an outdoor wood preservative or UV-protectant stain every 1-2 years. Avoid using harsh chemicals to clean the exterior; a soft brush and water are sufficient. Ensure the planter maintains proper drainage by verifying the bottom is not sitting directly on damp ground; using "pot feet" or small risers can further promote airflow under the base.
