FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the planter?
The approximate dimensions are 25 inches in diameter and 14 inches high (63cm x 36cm). Please note that as these are made from reclaimed barrels, slight variations may occur.
Does the planter have drainage holes?
The planter is designed to allow for drainage. It is recommended to ensure the bottom is clear or add drainage material before planting.
How much does the planter weigh?
The planter weighs approximately 20 kg when empty.
Can I use this planter indoors?
Yes, it can be used indoors, but it is best placed in a well-ventilated area. Ensure you place a tray or saucer underneath to protect your flooring from any moisture.
How should I prepare the planter for planting?
Ensure the planter is in its final desired location. Add a layer of gravel, broken pot shards, or expanded clay pellets at the bottom for drainage, then fill with your chosen potting mix.
Will the steel bands rust?
The steel bands are designed for outdoor use. While some weathering may occur over time, contributing to the rustic look, they are generally durable.
Is each planter identical?
No, due to the nature of using reclaimed whisky barrels, each planter will have unique characteristics, including slight variations in color, markings, and dimensions.
Troubleshooting
Planter appears unstable
Ensure the planter is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that the steel bands are secure and not loose.
Water pooling inside the planter
Verify that the drainage holes at the bottom are clear and not obstructed. Add a layer of gravel or crocks at the base before adding soil.
Wood shows signs of drying or fading
Apply a protective outdoor wood sealant or oil according to the product's instructions. This is recommended annually for best results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly is required. Simply choose your desired location. Ensure the ground is level to prevent tipping. As the planter is heavy, it is recommended to have assistance for moving it, especially if placing it on a balcony or elevated surface. Add drainage material (like gravel or broken pots) to the bottom before filling with soil to ensure proper water drainage.
Compatibility: This planter is compatible with most standard potting soils and plants. It is designed for outdoor use but can be used indoors in well-ventilated areas. Ensure it is placed on a surface that can support its weight.
Care: To maintain the wood's appearance, you can occasionally clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For longevity, consider applying a wood sealant designed for outdoor use annually, particularly if the barrel is exposed to intense sun or heavy rain. Ensure the drainage holes at the bottom are not blocked.
