Water pooling around the base

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Positioning: Choose a level surface for the planter. The 3cm feet provide stability, but ensure the ground is flat to prevent wobbling.
- Filling: Begin by placing a layer of gravel or expanded clay pellets at the bottom to further assist with drainage before adding your potting mix.
- Maintenance: While the wood is pressure-treated, we recommend applying a water-repellent wood preservative or paint every 1-2 years to maintain the appearance and prevent the timber from graying.
- Placement: If placing on a wooden deck, ensure the drainage holes are not blocked by debris. If on a sensitive surface, consider adding small rubber pads under the feet to prevent scratching.
