Troubleshooting
Planter sections do not connect securely.
Ensure you are using the correct connecting pieces as per the assembly instructions. Check that no debris is obstructing the connection points. Realign and apply firm, even pressure.
Water is pooling in the bottom of a section.
Verify that the drainage holes at the base of the planter are clear and not blocked by soil or roots. Gently clear any obstructions.

Confirm that all sections are fully interlocked and that the planter is placed on a flat, stable surface. Check for any missing or incorrectly fitted connecting parts.
