Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your planter, start by turning the container over to locate the molded dimples on the bottom. Carefully drill small holes at these points to ensure proper water drainage. If placing on a high-rise balcony, ensure you use sturdy mounting brackets compatible with your specific railing size, as these are not included with the product.
For care, simply wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge during the off-season. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or wire brushes, as these may scratch the surface and diminish its weather-resistant finish.
