FAQs
What size plants are suitable for this basket?
The 12-inch diameter is ideal for a variety of plants including cascading flowers like petunias and fuchsias, herbs, strawberries, or small trailing vegetables. Ensure the plant's mature size is appropriate for container planting.
Does the basket come with anything other than the chain?
No, the basket comes pre-lined with a liner and includes the heavy-duty galvanised 3-way chain for hanging. Soil and plants are not included.
How do I clean the basket?
You can clean the basket by wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials that could damage the rattan effect finish.
Is the liner replaceable?
The basket comes with a pre-installed liner. While it's designed for durability, if the liner needs replacement, you may be able to fit a new liner of the appropriate size, or repurpose the basket as a decorative planter without a liner.
Can this basket be used indoors?
While designed for outdoor use, it can be used indoors if placed on a waterproof surface or saucer to protect furniture and floors from water drainage.
What is the material of the basket?
The basket is constructed from a hardwearing, durable material with a natural rattan effect finish.
How much weight can the chain support?
The chain is described as heavy-duty and galvanised, designed for secure hanging. However, for safety, it's recommended to use a secure mounting point rated for the total weight of the basket, saturated soil, and plants.
Troubleshooting
Basket appears unstable when hung.
Ensure the hanging hook or bracket is securely fastened and rated for the weight of the filled basket. Check that the chain is properly attached to the basket and the hanging point.
Soil seems too wet or waterlogged.
Confirm that drainage holes in the pre-liner are not obstructed. Ensure the basket is hung in a location that allows water to drain freely away from the base.
Material showing signs of wear.
While designed to be durable, prolonged exposure to extreme elements can cause wear. Clean gently and consider bringing indoors during severe weather to extend its life.
