FAQs
Do I need to assemble the planter and trellis?
Yes, the planter and trellis arrive separate and require simple assembly. They are joined together using the provided screws into pre-drilled holes, a process that typically takes about 5 minutes.
What type of wood is used, and is it treated?
The planter and trellis are made from a chunky 145x45mm profile timber that is pressure-treated and dry-graded for superior quality and durability. This treatment protects against rot and decay.
What are the dimensions of the planter and the trellis?
The dimensions are specified as (Chosen Length)x40x60 cm for the planter, with the remaining height being trellis. For example, a 120cm total height item has a 60cm planter and a 60cm trellis. Always check the specific dimensions listed for each size option.
Can I choose a different colour?
Yes, this product is available in several colour options including Wild Thyme, Coastal Blue, Dark Oak, Black Ash, Charred Burned, Harvest Gold, Dusky Gem, and Urban Slate. Please select your preferred colour.
Are there options to make the planter mobile?
Yes, you can add four castors as an optional extra to make the planter mobile. Please contact us to arrange this add-on.
How much weight can the planter hold?
The planter is constructed from robust materials and designed for substantial planting. However, for specific weight limits, especially for balcony use, it's recommended to consult a structural engineer or the manufacturer directly, considering the total loaded weight.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Information regarding the warranty period is not provided in the product details. Please contact the retailer or manufacturer for specific warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Planter and trellis do not align correctly.
Double-check that the planter is oriented correctly relative to the trellis base. Ensure no debris is obstructing the connection points. Gently adjust positioning before screwing.
Screws do not easily go into pre-drilled holes.
Ensure you are using the correct size drill bit if pilot holes need adjustment. A moderate amount of force is expected, but excessive force may indicate misalignment. Use a drill for best results.
Timber appears to be warping or splitting.
This is uncommon with pressure-treated timber but can occur in extreme weather. Ensure the product is not in constant contact with standing water. Minor surface checks are normal and do not affect structural integrity. For significant issues, contact customer support.
Color does not match expectations from the image.
Wood grain and lighting can affect colour perception. Refer to the specific colour name and description. As this is a natural material, slight variations are possible. If significantly different, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack all components and ensure all fixings are present.
- Align the planter with the base of the trellis section.
- Using a drill (power or hand), insert the provided screws into the pre-drilled holes to attach the planter securely to the trellis. This is typically a 5-minute task for one or two people.
Compatibility:
- Colour Options: Available in Wild Thyme, Coastal Blue, Dark Oak, Black Ash, Charred Burned, Harvest Gold, Dusky Gem, and Urban Slate. Please specify your choice.
- Optional Add-ons: Consider adding four castors for mobility, wooden feet for elevation, or plastic height-adjustable feet for uneven surfaces. Contact us to arrange these.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Maintenance: While pressure-treated, regular inspection for any signs of wear is recommended. Re-treating the timber with a suitable outdoor wood preserver every few years can further extend its lifespan and maintain its appearance.
- Drainage: Ensure adequate drainage for the planter to prevent waterlogging, especially if not using a liner with drainage holes.
