Description
Enhance your outdoor entertaining areas with the stylish and accommodating Rowlinson Marberry Rectangular Planter. Stretching to a generous one-metre length, this premium container is a prominent feature of the popular Marberry Range, celebrated for replacing harsh, rustic edges with sleek horizontal lines and smoothly planed, rounded corners. Because it is delivered to your home fully preassembled, you bypass complicated build processes, allowing you to jump straight into designing beautiful, impactful botanical displays.
Striking the perfect balance between size and adaptability, this substantial trough offers an impressive soil capacity of approximately 76L. The wide internal measurements of H250 x W930 x D330 mm present a superb environment for establishing deeper root networks, whilst the neat 1000 x 400 mm footprint ensures the unit can sit comfortably on most patios without feeling obstructive. To promote the healthiest possible growing conditions, the planter features a supplied polypropylene liner; this essential addition keeps your compost contained and helps the plants resist the adverse effects of excessive moisture.
Crafted from responsibly sourced timber that complies with stringent environmental guidelines, this modern wooden trough is a highly sustainable choice for the conscientious gardener. Prior to delivery, the wood undergoes a thorough pressure-treatment process, providing vital protection against insect infestations and helping the material resist weather-related decay over the years. Although it arrives in an attractive, natural timber finish, the smooth surface acts as a brilliant blank canvas, giving you the freedom to apply a coloured exterior stain or paint to perfectly match your garden's aesthetic.

Make the Most of Your Planter
The versatile 1000 mm width of the Rowlinson Marberry Rectangular Planter makes it an excellent choice for structuring your garden design. Use it to gracefully partition a lawn from a paved terrace, or position a matching pair at either end of a wooden garden bench to create a wonderfully fragrant, enclosed seating area. Its clean, linear profile also looks superb when placed flush against a brick wall, providing a vibrant, elevated stage for architectural plants like striking agapanthus or lush, leafy hostas.
To ensure your chosen botanical arrangements thrive, take full advantage of the pre-assembled design and included liner by adding a base layer of broken crocks or coarse gravel before introducing your 76L of quality compost. This straightforward preparation greatly improves aeration, helping the potting mix resist becoming sodden during prolonged periods of wet weather. By refreshing your display as the seasons change, perhaps starting with bold alliums in spring, switching to trailing fuchsias for summer, and relying on hardy hellebores through the winter, this contemporary trough will remain a striking garden focal point all year long.

Planter Maintenance
The Rowlinson Marberry Rectangular 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.
