FAQs
What kind of fixings should I use?
The type of fixing depends entirely on your wall material (e.g., brick, wood, concrete). Consult your local hardware store for screws, anchors, or hooks suitable for your wall type and the weight of the loaded planter.
Can this planter be used indoors?
While primarily designed for exterior use, it can be used indoors. However, it is recommended to place a drip tray underneath to protect surfaces from water and soil.
How do I clean the hayrack planter?
Clean the planter with a damp cloth. For tougher grime, use mild soap and water, rinsing thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.
What are the dimensions of the planter?
The planter is offered in two different lengths. Please refer to the product listing for the exact dimensions of each specific size.
Is the planter weather-resistant?
Yes, it is made from hardwearing steel coated with black plastic and a green brush finish, designed for exterior use and to withstand various weather conditions.
Can I plant directly into the hayrack?
Yes, you can plant directly into the hayrack. The grid-like cage design allows for good drainage. Consider lining it with a suitable planter liner if you wish to retain more moisture or soil.
Troubleshooting
Planter feels unstable after mounting.
Re-check all fixings and ensure they are appropriate for your wall type and securely tightened. The planter must be mounted to a solid structure.
Plants are not thriving.
Ensure adequate watering and appropriate soil. Check that drainage holes are not obstructed. Consider the amount of sunlight the location receives.
Rust appears on the surface.
Minor rust spots may occur if the protective coating is scratched. Clean the area and apply a suitable metal paint for protection. Ensure no prolonged standing water.
