FAQs
What size is the planter versus the trellis?
The planter typically has a height of 60 cm. The remaining height of the product is dedicated to the trellis. For example, a 120 cm total height item consists of a 60 cm planter and a 60 cm trellis. A 150 cm total height item has a 60 cm planter and a 90 cm trellis.
Do I need to assemble the planter and trellis fully?
The planter and trellis arrive largely pre-assembled. You only need to join them together by screwing the planter to the trellis using the provided screws and pre-drilled holes. This is a quick process, typically taking about 5 minutes.
What materials are used?
The planter and trellis are made from Dry Graded Timber that has been Pressure Treated for durability and weather resistance. It features a smooth planed finish.
How do I choose a color?
This guide features the Coastal Blue color. Other available color options include Wild Thyme, Dark Oak, Black Ash, Charred Burned, Harvest Gold, Dusky Gem, and Urban Slate. Please contact us to select your preferred color.
Can I add wheels to the planter?
Yes, optional add-ons such as four castors can be fitted to the planter. Please contact the manufacturer to arrange for this optional extra.
What is the weight of the product?
The combined weight of the planter and trellis is approximately 216 kg.
Is the planter waterproof?
The planter comes with a liner included, which helps protect the wood and simplifies planting. The wood itself is pressure-treated for outdoor durability.
Troubleshooting
Planter and trellis do not align correctly
Ensure the planter is on a level surface. Double-check that you are using the correct pre-drilled holes as indicated for your specific size. Adjust the planter's position slightly if needed before fully tightening screws.
Screws are difficult to insert
Use a power drill with an appropriate screwdriver bit. If using a hand drill, ensure the pilot holes are clear. A small amount of wax or soap can help screws glide into the wood more easily.
Wood appears to be warping or splitting
This can occur with natural timber due to extreme weather. Ensure the product is cared for with regular cleaning and consider applying a wood sealant annually. Minor surface splits are often cosmetic and do not affect structural integrity.
Drainage holes in the planter seem blocked
Check the liner and the base of the planter for any obstructions. Ensure the liner is positioned correctly to allow water to flow through the drainage holes at the bottom of the planter.
