FAQs
What are the dimensions of the basket?
Specific dimensions are not provided in the product details, but it is designed as a standard wall basket suitable for planting.
Does the liner need to be replaced?
The liner is pre-fitted and designed for use. However, like most natural liners, its lifespan will depend on environmental conditions and care. Replacements can typically be found at garden centres.
Can this basket be used indoors?
While the natural aesthetic can be appealing indoors, it is designed for outdoor use. Indoor use may require extra precautions to protect surfaces from moisture and soil.
How long will dispatch take?
The product is usually dispatched within 3 working days. Exact dispatch times can be viewed in the Postage and Payments section of the listing.
What is the delivery time after dispatch?
Delivery is usually completed in 3-5 working days within the UK mainland from the dispatch date.
Can I return the basket if I change my mind?
Yes, if for any reason you wish to return your goods, you can do so according to the seller's return policy.
Is the brown colour natural or dyed?
The description states it is a 'natural basket made from dark willow', suggesting the colour is inherent to the material rather than dyed.
Troubleshooting
Basket feels less stable than expected
Ensure the wall fixings are appropriate for your wall type and are securely fastened. Double-check that the basket's chain is properly attached to the fixings.
Liner seems to be degrading quickly
Natural liners can be sensitive to constant moisture. Ensure good drainage from your plants and consider adding a protective layer inside the liner if excessive water is a concern, though this may affect breathability.
Willow material shows signs of wear
This is natural for willow exposed to the elements. For minor wear, you can try to gently smooth or trim any frayed pieces. Consider applying a natural, garden-safe sealant if extensive protection is desired, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up your Ambassador Willow Wall Basket, ensure you have appropriate wall fixings suitable for your wall type (e.g., brick, wood). Securely attach the basket using the integrated chain and fixings to a stable vertical surface. Once mounted, you can add your potting soil and plants, making sure not to overfill beyond the liner's capacity.
Compatibility: This basket is designed for wall mounting and is compatible with most standard wall types. It is suitable for use with most common potting composts and bedding plants, herbs, or small shrubs.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the willow, it is recommended to protect it from prolonged, direct exposure to heavy rain and excessive moisture where possible. Periodically check the wire reinforcements and chain for any signs of wear. A gentle brush can remove dust and debris. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
