Description
Transform your paved terrace or balcony into a flourishing horticultural haven with the Rowlinson Premier Patio Square Planter. Boasting a robust, interlocking horizontal timber construction, this substantial cubic vessel moves away from refined, smooth lines in favour of a delightfully chunky, rustic aesthetic. Because it arrives ready for easy assembly, you can swiftly construct the unit and immediately begin curating beautiful, enduring botanical displays to brighten up your outdoor living areas.
Despite its highly accommodating internal depth, this square container maintains a neat footprint, offering an approximate soil capacity of 33 Litres. The generous internal dimensions of H345 x W310 x D310 mm present a superb environment for a wide array of root systems to spread and thrive, whilst the external measurements of H370 x W400 x D400 mm ensure it can be positioned effortlessly on smaller patios without feeling obstructive. The sturdy wooden base provides stable support for your potting mix, whilst the natural joints in the timber assembly assist airflow, helping the root zone resist the detrimental effects of excessive moisture retention.
Crafted from heavy-duty, responsibly sourced timber, this resilient wooden trough represents a dependable investment for the avid gardener. Prior to reaching your doorstep, the raw wood undergoes an intensive pressure-treatment process, furnishing the material with vital protection against insect infestations and helping the structure resist weather-related decay over the changing seasons. Although it is supplied in an understated natural timber finish, the textured exterior provides an excellent foundation for customisation, allowing you to apply a coloured outdoor stain or paint to perfectly harmonise with your garden's existing colour scheme.
Features:
Finish - Smooth planed timber
Planter Capacity - 150L
Treatment - Pressure-treated (can be painted or stained if desired). Delivered flat-packed for easy construction
After Care - Maintenance-free

Make the Most of Your Planter
The robust, symmetrical profile of the Rowlinson Premier Patio Square Planter makes it a brilliant structural asset for framing entrances and defining the corners of a decking area. Positioning a matching pair on either side of a garden pathway or patio door instantly creates a welcoming, formal symmetry. Its chunky aesthetic pairs exceptionally well with architectural evergreens; consider planting a dense box ball or a striking, structural phormium to contrast beautifully against the horizontal timber lines.
To guarantee your chosen botanical arrangements thrive year after year, take full advantage of the deep 345 mm internal space by adding a generous layer of drainage crocks or coarse gravel to the base before pouring in your 33 Litres of quality compost. This straightforward preparation dramatically improves aeration around the roots, helping the deep soil profile resist saturation during heavy winter downpours. By updating your planting to reflect the seasons, perhaps opting for cheerful daffodils in spring, vibrant calibrachoa in summer, and resilient heather through the winter, this sturdy cubic vessel will remain a captivating garden highlight all year long.

Planter Maintenance
The Rowlinson Premier Patio Square Planter is made from pressure-treated timbers for excellent durability and longevity. Rowlinson’s pressure-treated products do not require annual re-treatment. If desired can be painted or stained. An anti-rot solution in the timber structure improves resistance to rot. The treatment may leave a greenish tinge on the wood; this is normal and will grey over time. The manufacturer advises that if you want to paint your planter with a different colour, ensure the treatment you choose is recommended for pressure-treated timber.
