Description
Maximise the vertical potential of your garden with the Rowlinson Rectangular Planter and Lattice. This brilliantly designed unit merges a substantial rectangular trough base with a towering, integrated diamond-lattice screen, instantly introducing structural height and a touch of traditional charm to your outdoor living areas. Distinguished by its elegantly arched top, the sturdy lattice framework provides the ultimate support for vigorous climbers to weave and flourish, whether you are looking to disguise an unsightly boundary fence or create a stunning, living partition on a sprawling patio.
Despite its elegant appearance, the base of this elongated unit delivers a highly accommodating soil capacity of approximately 85 Litres. This generous volume ensures that deep-rooted climbing varieties and thirsty perennials have the space they need to establish strong, healthy root systems, which is crucial for supporting their tall, upward growth. The robust timber construction of the base offers immense support for heavy, damp compost.
Manufactured entirely from responsibly sourced timber that satisfies strict environmental guidelines, this vertical planter is a highly sustainable choice for the eco-conscious gardener. To ensure it withstands the unpredictable British climate, the raw wood is subjected to an intensive pressure-treatment process, providing the necessary protection against insect damage and helping the structure resist weather-related rot throughout the seasons. Supplied in an appealing natural timber finish, the lightly textured surface serves as a fantastic blank canvas, giving you the complete freedom to apply a coloured outdoor stain or paint to perfectly harmonise with your home's exterior palette.

Make the Most of Your Planter
Utilising the sweeping 900 mm width and impressive 1380 mm stature of the Rowlinson Rectangular Planter and Lattice allows you to construct a magnificent living wall anywhere in your garden. The beautifully arched diamond trellis serves as a brilliant partition, effortlessly transforming an open terrace into a secluded sanctuary when laced with climbing jasmine or a vigorous passion flower. If positioned against a drab garage wall or plain fencing, this expansive timber framework quickly establishes a glorious curtain of colour, masking stark architecture with the vibrant, winding blooms of your chosen climbers.
To ensure your climbing varieties establish deep, resilient root systems within the 85 Litres of compost, it is highly recommended to line the bottom of the trough with broken terracotta pots prior to planting. This simple horticultural measure actively promotes healthy drainage, helping the extensive growing medium resist the onset of waterlogging during particularly damp seasons. To complete the display, consider complementing your tall climbers with a carpet of shallow-rooted alpines or tumbling trailing petunias; this cleverly masks the bare lower stems and ensures the entire planter brims with life from the timber base right up to the sweeping arch.

Planter Maintenance
The Rowlinson Rectangular Planter and Lattice 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.
