FAQs

What type of wood is used for the planter?

The planter is handmade from tongue & groove tanalised timber, which is pressure-treated and FSC certified.

Does the planter come assembled?

Yes, the T&G Wooden Planter Trough arrives fully assembled and ready for use.

What are the exact dimensions of the planter?

The dimensions are Length 40 cm x Width 120 cm x Height 40 cm.

How long will the planter last?

With proper care, the pressure-treated timber is designed to resist rot for up to 20 years.

Can I leave this planter outside all year round?

Yes, it is designed for outdoor use and to withstand various weather conditions. However, ensuring good drainage and occasional cleaning will prolong its life.

What is the weight of a single planter?

Each planter weighs approximately 25 kg.

Do I need to treat the wood before use?

The timber is already pressure-treated for rot resistance. However, applying an exterior wood oil or stain annually can help maintain its appearance and add an extra layer of protection.

Troubleshooting

Wood appears to be drying or cracking slightly.

This is a natural process for timber exposed to the elements. Apply a suitable exterior wood oil or sealant to rehydrate the wood and provide protection.

Water pooling inside the planter.

Ensure the drainage holes at the bottom are not blocked. Clear any debris that might be obstructing them.

Greenish tint appears on the wood surface.

This is likely algae or mold due to damp conditions. Clean the surface with a mild soapy water solution and a stiff brush. Ensure good air circulation around the planter.

Planter feels less stable after a period of use.

Check that the ground beneath the planter is still level. Minor adjustments may be needed, especially if the ground has shifted.

Care:

To maximize the lifespan of your planter (up to 20 years), regular care is recommended:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth periodically to remove dirt and debris.
  2. Drainage: Ensure drainage holes are clear to prevent waterlogging.
  3. 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.
  4. Winter Care: While durable, consider lifting the planter slightly off damp ground in very wet climates to improve air circulation and reduce moisture contact.
