Troubleshooting
Planter feels unstable after filling
Ensure the planter is placed on a level surface. If the planter is very large and filled with heavy soil, consider placing bricks or stable blocks underneath for added support, especially on uneven ground.
Water pooling in the planter
Verify that drainage holes have been drilled in the bottom and are clear of obstructions. Ensure excess water can escape freely.
Surface appears faded over time
While durable, prolonged direct sunlight can eventually affect the color. Consider rotating the planter periodically or using a UV-protective spray designed for plastics if fading is a concern.
