How should I care for the planters?

The planters are made from pressure treated wood. However they do need caring for and regular maintenance to get the best out of them.

Light from the sun will cause the wood to turn silvery grey. This can't be prevented and may also be what you wish to happen. If you do not wish this to occur then a wood stain or paint needs to be used.

The big enemy of wood is water which can lead to rotting if the wood does not have the opportunity to dry out. Make sure the planters are not left in areas where water congregates. As mentioned, the wood is pressure treated but where the wood is cut it will be bare wood - the pressure treatment only goes millimetres into the wood. It is best to use a wood preservative on the cut ends and or stain/paint as well for added protection. We are happy to do this for you, contact us for a quote.

I can't see the exact colour/size combination I would like. Can you make one for me?

Absolutely no problem at all - simply give us a call. There is no extra charge for making a custom size: all our planters are made to order so makes no difference what size you require.

Will you oil, stain or paint my planters?

The unpainted decking and larch planters will need staining to prevent weathering - although you may prefer the weathered look. We are happy to stain for you if required - please call to obtain a quote.

What happens if I am not happy with my planters?

We would be surprised! Simply return the items to us and we will reimburse you.
