Description
Bring a touch of modern sophistication to your outdoor living areas with the Rowlinson Marberry Rectangular Planter. Bridging the gap between the compact square model and the larger troughs in the Marberry Range, this 0.7m version offers a versatile, contemporary aesthetic distinguished by horizontal profiling and softly planed rounded corners. Delivered straight to your door entirely pre-assembled, it completely eliminates the need for fiddly construction, granting you the freedom to immediately begin cultivating spectacular, enduring garden displays.
Despite its highly manageable footprint of 700 x 400 mm, this mid-sized container delivers a very respectable planting capacity of approximately 51 L. The generously proportioned internal dimensions of H250 x W630 x D330 mm provide a nurturing environment that allows a diverse array of root systems to spread comfortably, making it an exceptional choice for balconies, decking areas, or positioning beneath a low window. To support optimal horticultural care, the planter arrives with a custom-fitted polypropylene liner; this essential feature helps contain the soil neatly while helping the plant's root zone resist the detrimental effects of excessive moisture.
Constructed exclusively from sustainably sourced timber that meets rigorous environmental standards, this sleek planter serves as a responsible choice for any landscape. The raw material is subjected to a comprehensive pressure-treatment procedure before dispatch, supplying it with necessary protection against insect damage and helping the structure resist weather-related deterioration throughout the year. Arriving in a highly attractive natural wood finish, the smooth exterior serves as an ideal base, allowing you to easily apply exterior paint or a coloured stain to harmonise the planter with your current architectural styling.

Make the Most of Your Planter
The intermediate 700 mm width of the Rowlinson Marberry Rectangular Planter makes it incredibly adaptable for zoning smaller exterior spaces. Use it to neatly divide a modest patio dining area from the rest of the garden, or position a pair of them along a drab boundary wall to introduce a vibrant splash of colour. Its clean, contemporary lines look particularly striking when juxtaposed with relaxed, informal planting; consider filling it with a mass of billowing ornamental grasses or a fragrant selection of culinary herbs like thyme, sage, and oregano.
To ensure your chosen arrangements thrive season after season, make the most of the pre-assembled design and included liner by scattering a shallow layer of coarse gravel into the base before tipping in your 51L of premium potting mix. This simple preparatory step significantly enhances airflow and drainage, helping the soil environment resist becoming waterlogged during heavy downpours. By rotating your planting to suit the time of year, perhaps opting for cheerful daffodils and tulips in spring, followed by brilliant pelargoniums in summer and hardy skimmias for winter interest, this elegant container will remain a captivating feature all year round.

Planter Maintenance
The Rowlinson Marberry Rectangular 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.
