Troubleshooting

Planter feels unstable after assembly

Ensure all screws and connections are fully tightened. Check that the planter is placed on a level surface.

Water pooling at the bottom of the planter

Scuff marks or dirt on the white surface

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This garden planter requires assembly. Please follow the included instructions carefully to securely connect all steel components. Ensure all fasteners are tightened appropriately for maximum stability.

Compatibility: The planter is compatible with any type of soil or potting mix. Its open design allows for integration with various planting schemes, from flowers and herbs to small vegetables. Consider adding a drainage layer (like gravel) at the bottom if you choose not to drill drainage holes and are planting species prone to root rot.

Care: To maintain its appearance and durability, clean the planter periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents that could scratch the surface. In harsh winter climates, consider covering the planter or storing it in a sheltered location to prolong its life, although the steel is designed for outdoor durability.
