Troubleshooting
Water pooling at the base despite drainage holes
Ensure the planter is placed on a level surface and that the slatted base and liner perforations are not blocked by soil or debris.
Wood appears dry or faded after a season
Apply a suitable wood stain or sealant designed for outdoor timber to protect and refresh the finish. This is part of regular maintenance.
Plant roots seem unhealthy or waterlogged
Verify that the liner's perforations are clear and that the slatted base allows for free drainage. Consider the type of compost used for optimal aeration and moisture retention.
