FAQs
Can this planter be used indoors?
Yes, it is suitable for indoor use, and the included plastic liner helps protect your surfaces from water damage.
Does the planter have drainage holes?
The wooden structure does not, but the internal plastic liner can be carefully punctured at the base if drainage is required.
How do I clean the wooden slats?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the weathered grey finish.
Is this planter frost-resistant?
While durable, the wooden construction may crack during extreme freeze-thaw cycles. It is recommended to bring it indoors or into a shed during harsh winter months.
Can I plant directly into the wood?
It is highly recommended to keep the plastic liner inside to act as a barrier between the moist soil and the wood, which prevents rot.
What are the exact dimensions?
The planter is 26 cm in width and 16 cm in height.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling inside the liner
Ensure that if you have added a drainage hole to the plastic liner, it is not obstructed by soil or gravel.
Wood appears dry or fading
Apply a clear outdoor wood sealant or oil to nourish the wood and restore the grey finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply place the plastic liner inside the barrel and fill it with your chosen potting medium and plants. To ensure the longevity of the Satchville planter, wipe it down with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust. If you choose to use it outdoors, consider applying a coat of exterior wood preservative or varnish every season to maintain the grey finish and prevent the wood from splintering or fading due to UV rays and rain. Always ensure the planter is placed on a level surface to prevent tipping when filled with heavy, moist soil.
