Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The product is supplied flat-packed, and assembly is straightforward using basic household tools. To ensure the longest life for your planter, place it on level ground to avoid structural stress. For care, ensure the drainage hole remains clear of debris throughout the growing season. While the softwood is pre-treated, applying an additional wood preservative every 1-2 years is recommended to protect the timber from harsh weather conditions. Always ensure the internal liner is positioned correctly to ensure that water drains through the designated hole rather than pooling against the wooden frame.
