Description
Instantly elevate the visual appeal of your patio or decking with the Rowlinson Marberry Trough Planter. Distancing itself from traditional rustic designs, this premium container belongs to the esteemed Marberry Range, celebrated for its smooth, horizontal lines and carefully planed rounded corners. Arriving completely pre-assembled, it removes the hassle of construction, allowing you to focus entirely on designing vibrant, contemporary botanical arrangements that breathe life into your exterior spaces.
Despite its sleek, low-profile design, this substantial trough offers a highly accommodating soil capacity of approximately 93 L. The elongated internal dimensions of H250 x W1130 x D230 mm provide an excellent environment for a wide variety of root systems to spread and thrive, while the narrow W1200 x D300 mm footprint ensures it can be positioned neatly along pathways or against walls without obstructing thoroughfares. To help maintain optimal soil conditions, the planter includes a purpose-fitted polypropylene liner, which helps keep the compost contained whilst helping the roots resist the negative effects of excessive moisture retention.
Constructed from responsibly sourced timber that complies with current environmental legislation, this modern planter represents a conscious choice for the sustainable garden. To ensure longevity, the wood undergoes a comprehensive pressure-treatment process, providing vital protection against insect damage and helping the structure resist weather-related deterioration throughout the year. While it is delivered in a highly attractive natural timber finish, the smooth surface is an ideal base for exterior paints or stains, granting you the creative freedom to seamlessly match the trough to your existing outdoor decor.

Make the Most of Your Planter
The linear, low-level silhouette of the Rowlinson Marberry Trough Planter makes it an exceptional tool for framing distinct areas of your garden. Its impressive 1200 mm width is perfect for edging a sun-drenched terrace or bordering a pathway, particularly when filled with a fragrant row of dwarf lavender or an assortment of tactile ornamental grasses. Alternatively, position it beneath a low windowsill to create a continuous ribbon of colour that can be enjoyed from both inside and outside the home, without blocking any natural light.
To guarantee your chosen plants flourish, take full advantage of the pre-assembled design and included liner by adding a base layer of coarse gravel before introducing your 93L of premium compost. This crucial step greatly enhances drainage, helping the soil environment resist becoming waterlogged during the wetter months. Refreshing your display as the seasons turn, perhaps with a bold mixture of trailing petunias in the summer and resilient, brightly coloured heathers through the winter, will ensure this contemporary trough remains a striking focal point all year long.

Planter Maintenance
The Rowlinson Marberry Trough 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.
