Product Information
Full details
This Charles Taylor Extra Large Windsor Planter is ideal for homeowners looking to enhance their garden or patio with a traditional and versatile planting feature. Its primary benefit is the ease with which it can be repositioned to create diverse garden designs, allowing for creative arrangements of various plants, vegetables, herbs, or fruit. A key consideration is that wood is a natural material and can be affected by weather, potentially leading to natural changes like cracking or warping, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible. Key features include its traditional design, drainage slats, and pre-treatment with a water-repellent preservative.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the planter?
The product information does not specify exact dimensions, but it is described as 'Extra Large'.
Does the planter come assembled?
The planter is designed for use upon arrival and does not typically require assembly.
How often should I reapply the wood preservative?
It is recommended to apply another coat of the 'Taylor Brown' oil-based preservative every 6-12 months to help protect and extend the life of the furniture.
Can I plant directly into the planter?
Yes, you can plant directly into the planter. However, it is recommended to use a heavy-duty refuse bag or weed membrane as a liner if required for soil management or drainage.
What causes wood to warp or split?
Wood is a natural product and can expand and retract depending on weather conditions. This natural process may result in cracking, splitting, warping, and shrinkage.
Are there any areas where delivery is not possible?
Yes, delivery is not possible to BT (Northern Ireland) and Offshore Islands. There may also be a surcharge for delivery to KW and IV postcodes.
What type of preservative is used?
The planter is supplied with one coat of the 'Taylor Brown' oil-based preservative.
Troubleshooting
Wood appears to be cracking or splitting.
This is a natural occurrence due to wood's reaction to weather conditions. Ensure bolts/screws are checked and tightened if necessary. Regular preservative application can help mitigate extreme changes.
Water pooling in the planter.
Ensure the drainage slats are not obstructed. If planting directly into the planter, ensure adequate drainage material is used at the base. Consider using a liner if drainage is a persistent issue.
Preservative treatment fading.
Reapply the 'Taylor Brown' oil-based preservative every 6-12 months, as recommended, to maintain protection and appearance.
Delivery issues or surcharges.
Contact the seller before ordering if your postcode falls within the restricted zones (KW, IV) or requires a surcharge. Delivery to BT and Offshore Islands is not possible.
