FAQs
What material is the basket made from?
The basket is made from durable, weather-resistant plastic with a faux willow weave finish.
What are the dimensions of the basket?
The basket has a diameter of 35cm.
Can this basket be used indoors?
While it can be used indoors, its semi-circle design is optimized for mounting on flat surfaces like walls or fences, which is more common outdoors. Ensure proper drainage if used indoors to protect surfaces.
Does it come with hanging chains or brackets?
No, this basket is designed to be mounted directly to a wall or fence. Hanging chains or brackets are not included and wall fixings need to be purchased separately based on your mounting surface.
How much weight can the basket hold?
The exact weight capacity depends on the mounting fixings used. Ensure you use fixings appropriate for the load of a soil-filled basket and the integrity of your wall or fence.
Is assembly required?
No assembly is required. The basket is ready to be mounted once unpacked.
What is the best way to plant it?
Fill the basket with a suitable potting mix, leaving some space at the top. Plant your chosen flowers or plants, then water gently. For best results, position plants to trail over the edge.
Troubleshooting
Basket feels unstable after mounting.
Ensure the mounting fixings are suitable for the surface and properly secured. Re-evaluate the weight distribution of the soil and plants. Consider using stronger or additional fixings.
Faux weave appearance is degrading.
While designed for durability, prolonged extreme UV exposure can eventually affect the finish. If significant fading occurs, consider repositioning the basket to a location with less direct sunlight or replacing it.
Water does not drain adequately.
Ensure there are drainage holes at the bottom of the basket. If not present or if they are blocked, carefully drill a few small holes. Add a layer of gravel or drainage material at the bottom before adding soil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The semi-circle design allows the basket to sit flush against a wall or fence. Secure it using appropriate wall fixings (not included) that are suitable for the weight of the basket when filled with soil and plants, and for the type of wall or fence it is being mounted on. Ensure it is securely fastened before adding plants.

Care: Clean the basket periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris. No special cleaning agents are required. Its weather-resistant material means it can be left outdoors year-round.
