Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This planter arrives fully assembled, meaning no complex setup is required. Simply choose your desired location, ensuring the ground is level and stable to support its 25 kg weight.
Compatibility:
Suitable for all outdoor environments, including patios, decking, lawns, and gravel areas. It is designed to house a variety of plants, flowers, herbs, and small shrubs. Ensure good drainage is provided within the planter by adding a layer of gravel or using suitable compost.
Care:
To maximize the lifespan of your planter (up to 20 years), regular care is recommended:
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth periodically to remove dirt and debris.
- Drainage: Ensure drainage holes are clear to prevent waterlogging.
- Oiling/Staining (Optional): For added protection and to maintain the wood's appearance, you can apply a suitable exterior wood oil or stain annually, especially after the first year. Choose a product compatible with pressure-treated timber.
- Winter Care: While durable, consider lifting the planter slightly off damp ground in very wet climates to improve air circulation and reduce moisture contact.
