FAQs
Does the planter come assembled?
The planter and the trellis are supplied as separate, pre-assembled units. You will need to join them together upon delivery using the provided screws and a drill.
What are the exact dimensions of the planter and trellis sections?
The total dimensions are L180 x W40 x H210 cm. The planter base is approximately 60 cm in height, and the trellis section makes up the remaining height (approx. 150 cm for the 210 cm total height model). The depth remains 40 cm.
Can I customize the size of the planter and trellis?
Yes, if the standard sizing options do not meet your needs, please contact us. We will do our best to accommodate custom size requests.
Is the planter suitable for very wet climates?
The timber is pressure-treated for durability, and a liner is included. However, ensuring good drainage through the base of the planter is crucial to prevent waterlogging, especially in wet climates.
What tools are required for assembly?
A power drill or a hand drill is recommended to efficiently secure the planter and trellis together using the provided screws into the pre-drilled holes. No other tools are required.
Can I add wheels to this planter?
Yes, an optional add-on for fitting four castors to the planter is available. Please contact us to inquire about adding this feature.
How heavy is the assembled unit?
The L180 x W40 x H210 cm model weighs approximately 302.4 kg, so it is best positioned carefully upon assembly.
Troubleshooting
Planter and trellis feel wobbly after joining.
Ensure all provided screws are securely tightened into the pre-drilled holes. Check that the planter and trellis are correctly aligned before final tightening.
Wood appears to be weathering or fading.
This is natural weathering. Apply a coat of suitable outdoor wood sealant or stain annually to restore color and provide additional protection.
Difficulty inserting screws into pre-drilled holes.
Use a power drill with an appropriate bit for easier screw insertion. Ensure the screw is aligned correctly with the hole before drilling.
Waterlogging in the planter.
Ensure there are adequate drainage holes in the bottom of the planter (often created by the liner or if holes are present through the planter base). Do not overwater plants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Buttercup Farm Planter and Trellis arrives in two pre-assembled sections: the planter and the trellis. Upon delivery, these units need to be joined. This typically involves positioning the trellis against the back of the planter and securing them together using the provided screws. Pre-drilled holes in both components simplify this process. A power drill or a hand drill is recommended for efficient assembly, which should take approximately 5-10 minutes for 1-2 people, depending on the size of the unit.
Compatibility: This planter is designed for outdoor use. Its dimensions are suitable for most garden spaces, patios, or decking areas. Optional add-ons, such as castors or height-adjustable feet, can be fitted to provide mobility or accommodate uneven surfaces.
Care: The planter is constructed from pressure-treated, dry-graded timber, which provides inherent protection against rot and decay. For long-term maintenance, it is recommended to clean the timber periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. To further extend the life of the wood, consider applying a suitable outdoor wood sealant or stain annually, especially if the timber's colour needs refreshing or if it is exposed to harsh elements. Ensure good drainage within the planter to prevent waterlogging, even with the liner.
