Description

The 1’4" x 1’4” (0.4m x 0.4m) Rowlinson Signature Heritage Square Planter Pack of 2 offers double the styling potential for your garden, courtyard, or patio. Providing a classic, natural timber aesthetic, this matching pair creates an immediate sense of balance and structure. With a compact footprint of W400 x D400 mm per unit, they are incredibly versatile, allowing you to neatly frame entryways or elegantly line garden paths without obstructing your outdoor walkways.

Built for longevity, both planters feature 12mm tongue-and-groove fine-sawn vertical cladding. This durable construction is beautifully finished with smooth-planed legs and a neat top surround with mitred corners, delivering a premium look. Furthermore, the timber is pressure-treated during manufacturing. This thorough treatment helps resist the onset of rot and insect attack, ensuring your wooden containers remain robust and visually appealing through the changing seasons.

Practicality is a core element of the design. To encourage healthy root systems, each planter incorporates an open, slatted base that works alongside the shaped, black perforated polypropylene liners included in the set. This assists with essential drainage, helping to keep your soil from becoming waterlogged after a heavy downpour. Internally, each container measures H320 x W310 x D310 mm and accommodates approximately 0.03m³ (30l) of compost. The external dimensions stand at H420 x W430 x D430 mm, presenting a well-proportioned pair of reliable containers for a variety of plant species.

Features:

Finish - Smooth planed leg and top surround

Planter capacity - 30L

Treatment - Pressure-treated (can be painted or stained if desired). Delivered flat-packed for easy construction

After Care - Maintenance-free

Material - Sustainably sourced timber

Make the Most of Your Planters

Having a pair of planters instantly opens up a wealth of design possibilities for your outdoor space. The most classic approach is to use them symmetrically to frame key transition points, such as placing one on either side of your front door, at the base of a pergola, or flanking the top of a flight of garden steps. Fill them with matching evergreen topiary, like bay trees or dwarf boxwood, to establish formal, year-round structure, or use them to display vibrant, trailing annuals that spill beautifully over the mitred edges during the summer months.

Alternatively, you can position this twin pack together to create a concentrated, fragrant container garden on a sunny patio. With a combined capacity of 60l across the two units, they provide an excellent foundation for a miniature kitchen garden just outside your back door. Dedicate one to essential culinary herbs like rosemary and thyme, and use the other for tumbling cherry tomatoes or strawberries. Keeping your homegrown produce readily accessible makes cooking a joy while adding a delightful, natural aroma to your alfresco dining areas.

Planter Maintenance

The Rowlinson Heritage 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.
