No, the planters are supplied untreated. This allows you to choose your preferred finish, but it is essential to apply a protective treatment (paint, stain, or oil) to prevent weathering and rot.
With proper care and regular application of protective finishes, the premium FSC-certified timber is designed to resist rot for up to 20 years.
No, the planters arrive fully assembled. You can place them in your desired location immediately after unpacking.
Each planter weighs approximately 17 kg. You may require assistance to move them once positioned.
Yes, absolutely. The untreated finish is ideal for painting. Ensure you use an exterior-grade paint suitable for wood.
While the planters are designed for outdoor use, adding a layer of gravel or broken pot shards at the bottom before adding soil will significantly improve drainage and prevent waterlogging.
FSC certified means the timber comes from forests managed in an environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable manner, ensuring sustainable sourcing.
This indicates the need for reapplication of a protective finish. Clean the surface thoroughly and apply a suitable wood stain, oil, or paint designed for outdoor use.
Ensure the planter is placed on a flat, level surface. Check for any obstructions beneath the planter and adjust its position as needed. For added stability on uneven ground, consider using shims.
Verify that the drainage holes are clear. If drainage is still an issue, consider adding a thicker layer of drainage material (like gravel or broken pottery) at the base of the planter before filling with soil.
This can occur if the wood has not been adequately treated or maintained. In early stages, damaged wood can sometimes be removed and patched, followed by a thorough application of wood preservative. However, extensive rot may indicate the need for replacement.
Setup: The Wooden Planter Troughs arrive fully assembled, making setup straightforward. Simply choose your desired location and place the planters. Ensure the ground is level to prevent any uneven stress on the planter.
Compatibility: These planters are compatible with all types of soil and planting mediums. They are suitable for a wide range of plants, including flowers, herbs, vegetables, and small shrubs. Their large size makes them particularly well-suited for outdoor use on patios, gardens, and decking.
Care: As the planters are supplied untreated, it is crucial to apply a suitable wood preservative, paint, or stain before or shortly after use. This will protect the timber from moisture and UV damage, significantly extending its lifespan and preventing rot. Regularly clean the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Periodically inspect the wood for any signs of wear and reapply protective finishes as needed, typically annually or biannually depending on your climate and the finish used. Ensure good drainage by adding a layer of gravel or crocks at the bottom of the planter before adding soil.
