Description
Enhance the character of your patio, decking, or entranceway with the Rowlinson Classic Square Planter. As its name suggests, this beautifully proportioned container embraces a timeless, traditional design, featuring neatly framed vertical tongue-and-groove panels that are beautifully offset by four sturdy corner posts, each finished with a decorative pointed cap. Delivering a smart, formal aesthetic, this piece looks magnificent whether standing alone as a striking focal point or when utilised in matching pairs to bring a welcoming sense of symmetry to your outdoor living spaces.
Beneath its handsome exterior, this cubic vessel is engineered to provide an exceptional environment for a wide variety of flora, offering an accommodating soil capacity of approximately 62 Litres. The generous internal volume ensures that deep-rooted shrubs and thirsty perennials have ample room to establish and flourish, while the substantial H500 x W500 x D500 mm external footprint guarantees stability, even when filled with heavy, wet compost. The sturdy timber construction offers excellent support for your planting medium, whilst promoting adequate airflow to help the root zone resist saturation during prolonged wet weather.
Manufactured from responsibly sourced wood that meets exacting environmental standards, this classic container represents a conscious, sustainable investment for your garden. To guarantee longevity, the timber undergoes a rigorous pressure-treatment process before delivery, providing essential protection against insect damage and helping the robust structure resist weather-induced decay year after year. Arriving in an understated, natural timber finish, the lightly textured surface serves as a brilliant foundation, permitting you to easily apply a coloured outdoor stain or paint to seamlessly coordinate with your home's existing architectural style.

Make the Most of Your Planter
The symmetrical, traditional profile of the Rowlinson Classic Square Planter makes it an absolutely indispensable asset for framing key areas of your garden. Positioning a matching pair on either side of a front porch, at the head of a sweeping driveway, or flanking a garden gate instantly establishes a grand, formal entrance. The decorative corner posts and Tongue & Groove panels look particularly striking when paired with architectural evergreens; consider planting a dense, clipped box ball or an elegant standard bay tree to create a sophisticated, low-maintenance display that shines throughout the year.
To guarantee your chosen botanical arrangements thrive season after season, take full advantage of the deep internal space by scattering a generous layer of broken crocks or coarse gravel across the base before pouring in your 62 Litres of quality potting mix. This crucial preparatory step drastically improves aeration around the roots, helping the deep soil profile resist becoming waterlogged during the unpredictable British winter. By underplanting your structural evergreens with a seasonal rotation of colourful blooms, perhaps opting for delicate snowdrops in late winter, cheerful trailing lobelia in summer, and resilient cyclamen in autumn, this magnificent classic planter will remain a captivating highlight in your garden.

Planter Maintenance
The Rowlinson Classic 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.
