Troubleshooting

Wood finish appears faded

Reapply a suitable wood sealant or oil to restore the natural finish. This is typically needed annually or bi-annually depending on weather exposure.

Water pooling despite drainage hole

Ensure the drainage hole is not obstructed. Check for compacted soil around the hole and gently clear any blockages. Ensure the planter is placed on a surface that allows water to drain away freely.

Planter wobbles or feels unstable

Check that all bolt fixings are securely tightened. Ensure the planter is placed on a level surface. Minor adjustments to the surface might be needed.
