FAQs
What material is the Gothic Wall Planter made from?
The planter is constructed from solid steel.
What are the dimensions of the planter?
The dimensions are approximately 19.1 cm deep (L), 35.6 cm wide (W), and 53.3 cm high (H).
Does it come with mounting hardware?
No, mounting hardware (screws and wall plugs) are not included, as the appropriate type depends on your wall material.
Can this planter be used indoors?
While it can be used indoors, it is designed and treated for outdoor use. Indoor use may require additional protection against rust from soil moisture.
How should I clean the planter?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.
Is the black finish durable?
The black finish is designed to be durable and weather-resistant, but like all outdoor metal products, it may show signs of wear over time, particularly in harsh conditions.
What is the weight of the planter when empty?
The weight of the empty planter is not specified but is substantial due to its solid steel construction.
Troubleshooting
Planter feels unstable after mounting.
Check that all mounting screws are fully tightened and that the wall fixings are appropriate for the wall material and weight load. Ensure the wall itself is sound.
Rust spots appearing on the surface.
This is normal for steel over time. Clean the area with a wire brush and apply a metal-specific paint or rust converter suitable for outdoor use to protect the underlying metal.
Drainage seems poor.
Ensure there are drainage holes at the bottom of the planter. If not, consider drilling small holes. Add a layer of gravel or broken pot pieces at the base before adding soil to improve aeration and drainage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
