Troubleshooting
Wood appears to be splintering.
This can occur with natural timber. Ensure any new splinters are smoothed down. Applying a good quality wood stain or paint will help protect the timber and minimize splintering over time.
Water pooling at the base of the planter.
Ensure the planter is on a level surface and has adequate drainage. If necessary, drill additional drainage holes in the base.
Climbing plant is not adhering well to the lattice.
Gently tie the plant's initial stems to the lattice using garden twine. As the plant grows, it should naturally start to climb.
