Description
Raise the borders of your terrace or define your decking area with the impressive Rowlinson Premier Patio Rectangular Planter. Sharing the exact same robust, interlocking horizontal timber construction as its square counterpart, this elongated trough embraces a wonderfully rustic, heavy-duty aesthetic that stands out from typical smooth-planed alternatives. Because it is designed for exceptionally easy assembly, you can swiftly put the container together and immediately begin designing breathtaking, expansive floral arrangements for your outdoor living spaces.
Despite its substantial appearance, this rectangular vessel strikes an excellent balance between footprint and planting space, offering an impressive soil capacity of approximately 91 Litres. The vast internal dimensions of H345 x W850 x D310 mm deliver a superb environment that allows extensive root networks to establish and spread comfortably, whilst the H370 x W945 x D400 mm exterior ensures it sits flush against walls or fences without intruding upon your walkways. The thick wooden base provides exceptional support for heavy, wet compost, while the slight gaps inherent in the interlocking design promote vital airflow, helping the root zone resist the damaging consequences of waterlogging.
Manufactured using high-quality, responsibly sourced timber, this durable trough represents a fantastic, long-term investment for any garden enthusiast. Long before it reaches your home, the raw wood undergoes a rigorous pressure-treatment process, equipping the material with the necessary protection against insect damage and helping the structure resist weather-induced rot throughout the changing British seasons. Supplied in an appealing, natural timber finish, the highly textured surface serves as a brilliant blank canvas, giving you the flexibility to apply a coloured outdoor stain or paint to perfectly match your current architectural palette.
Features:
Finish - Smooth planed timber
Planter Capacity - 150L
Treatment - Pressure-treated (can be painted or stained if desired). Delivered flat-packed for easy construction

Make the Most of Your Planter
The elongated, substantial profile of the Rowlinson Premier Patio Rectangular Planter makes it an invaluable tool for zoning your garden and softening harsh boundary lines. Position it strategically along the edge of a paved seating area to act as a natural, fragrant divider, especially when filled with a dense row of aromatic lavender or upright rosemary. Its chunky, textured appearance also works beautifully when juxtaposed against stark, modern brickwork, providing a heavy-duty stage for billowy, informal planting like trailing nasturtiums and delicate cosmos.
To guarantee your ambitious botanical displays flourish year after year, take full advantage of the deep 345 mm internal space by scattering a generous layer of drainage crocks or coarse gravel across the base before pouring in your 91 Litres of quality potting mix. This crucial preparatory step drastically improves aeration around the roots, helping the deep soil profile resist becoming saturated during the unpredictable winter months. By updating your planting scheme to reflect the shifting seasons, perhaps opting for tall, structural alliums in spring, followed by a riot of colourful dahlias in summer, this magnificent rectangular trough will remain a spectacular garden highlight all year long.

Planter Maintenance
The Rowlinson Premier Patio Rectangular Planter ts 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.
