FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of each planter?
Each planter measures approximately H:39.0 x W:47.0 x D:47.0 cm.
Is assembly required?
No, the planters are delivered fully assembled and ready for use.
What type of wood is used?
The planters are made from Scandinavian Redwood.
How long will the planters last?
They are guaranteed rot-free for 10 years due to the treated wood and galvanised fixings.
Can I use these planters indoors?
While they are designed for outdoor use, they can be used indoors if placed on a waterproof surface to protect your flooring from moisture and potential leaks.
Do I need to treat the wood before use?
The wood is pre-treated with a preservative/stain for protection. However, applying an additional coat of wood stain or preservative after a few years can help maintain its appearance and further extend its life.
What is the volume of each planter?
Each planter has a volume of 47 litres.
Troubleshooting
Planter appears to be leaning or unstable.
Ensure the planter is placed on a level surface. Check that the ground beneath is firm and not soft or uneven.
Water is pooling in the planter.
Verify that the drainage holes in the slated base are not obstructed by soil or debris. Gently clear any blockages.
Wood shows signs of surface drying or minor cracking.
This is normal weathering for natural wood. Apply a suitable wood treatment or stain to restore appearance and provide protection.
Galvanised fixings show minor surface discolouration.
This is a natural characteristic of galvanised materials and does not affect structural integrity. Ensure fixings remain tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The planters come ready for use. Simply place them in your desired garden location. Ensure the ground is level to prevent tipping, especially once filled.
Compatibility: These planters are suitable for outdoor use in gardens, patios, and balconies. They are compatible with all standard potting soils and composts. Their robust construction means they can be placed directly on soil, grass, gravel, or decking.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the planters, we recommend periodic cleaning with a damp cloth. While the wood is treated, occasional re-application of a suitable wood stain or preservative (following manufacturer instructions) can help protect the finish and further enhance its resistance to weathering, especially after a few years of use. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners.
