FAQs

Can I use this planter in a conservatory?

Yes, the drainage plug allows you to control moisture levels, making it perfect for enclosed spaces like conservatories where you need to manage water carefully.

Does the planter come assembled?

Yes, the planter arrives fully formed and ready to be placed in position and used for planting.

Is this planter suitable for very wet environments?

How resistant is the powder-coated finish to fading?

What are the dimensions of the three available sizes?

The planter is available in 40cm, 50cm, and 64cm cube sizes. Please note there can be a variation of up to five percent due to the handmade nature.

How does Aluzinc compare to galvanized steel for planters?

What is the warranty on this planter?

The planter comes with a 10-year warranty, providing peace of mind regarding its durability and performance.

Troubleshooting

Planter is leaking water indoors.

Ensure the drainage plug is fully inserted and secured in the drainage hole. Check for any cracks or damage around the plug area.

Water is not draining from the planter outdoors.

Remove the drainage plug completely. Ensure the drainage hole is not obstructed by soil or debris.

The finish appears to be fading or discolored.

While the finish is weather-resistant, prolonged direct sun exposure or harsh chemical contact could cause minor fading. Clean with a damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaning agents. For significant issues, contact customer support.

Planter has a slight wobble or is uneven.

This may be due to the handmade nature causing minor size variations. Try placing a small, discreet shim or pad under one edge to level it on uneven surfaces.
