Troubleshooting
Wobbly structure after assembly
Ensure all screws and bolts are tightened securely. Check that the planter is placed on a level surface.
Trellis does not support climbing plants effectively
Gently guide the plant's tendrils onto the trellis and secure them with plant ties if necessary. Ensure the plant is suitable for the trellis height.
Rust spots appearing on the metal
Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. For minor spots, a metal polish suitable for coated surfaces may help. Touch up with outdoor metal paint if necessary. Ensure the coating is intact.
Soil drains poorly
Verify that drainage holes have been added to the bottom of the planter if none were provided or if they are blocked. Add a layer of gravel at the bottom before adding soil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Assembly typically involves attaching the trellis to the planter base. Ensure all components are present before starting. Use appropriate tools (usually not included) to secure all fittings firmly. Place the assembled planter on a level surface in its desired location before filling with soil.
Compatibility:
This garden bed is compatible with standard potting mixes and soil amendments. It is designed for outdoor use with a wide variety of plants, including flowers, herbs, vegetables, and climbing vines.
Care:
- Clean the metal surface periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Check fittings occasionally to ensure they remain secure.
- While the powder coating offers protection, prolonged exposure to harsh elements without maintenance may eventually affect the finish.
- Ensure adequate drainage, as the planter does not typically come with pre-drilled holes (check specific product details). You may need to add drainage holes or use a layer of gravel at the bottom.
