Description
Transform your garden boundaries or define expansive patio areas with the magnificent Rowlinson Marberry Trough Planter. As a standout piece within the prestigious Marberry Range, this significantly proportioned container eschews traditional styling in favour of a sleek, contemporary aesthetic characterised by horizontal lines and elegantly planed rounded corners. Because it is delivered fully pre-assembled, you are spared the complexities of construction, giving you the immediate opportunity to begin curating spectacular, long-lasting floral arrangements.
Despite its remarkably low profile, this elongated trough provides an immense soil capacity of approximately 142 L. The vast internal dimensions of H250 x W1730 x D230 mm provide ample space to establish a substantial root network, whilst the W1800 x D300 mm footprint ensures it sits flush against brickwork or fencing without encroaching too far into your usable space. To promote a thriving botanical environment, a custom-fitted polypropylene liner is included, ensuring compost remains securely in place while helping your plants resist the adverse consequences of poor drainage.
Crafted meticulously from sustainably sourced timber that aligns with rigorous environmental regulations, this large-scale planter is an excellent investment for the eco-conscious homeowner. The wood is subjected to an intensive pressure-treatment process before dispatch, furnishing it with crucial defence against insect damage and helping the structure resist the degrading effects of seasonal weather. Arriving in a beautiful, natural timber finish, the smooth exterior serves as a flawless base for customisation, permitting you to easily apply a coloured stain or paint to perfectly match your exterior design vision.

Finish - Smooth planed timber
Planter Capacity - 142l

Make the Most of Your Planter
The sheer 1800 mm width of the Rowlinson Marberry Trough Planter makes it an unparalleled choice for creating immediate impact and structural division in larger gardens. Position it strategically along the edge of a raised decking area to act as a natural, flourishing balustrade, or use it to subtly screen off a functional space, such as a bin storage area, by planting a dense, miniature hedge of fragrant sweet box or vibrant photinia. Its contemporary, elongated form also looks exceptional when placed flush against a stark, modern boundary wall, instantly softening the hard landscaping with a continuous ribbon of greenery.
To guarantee your chosen foliage thrives within this substantial container, capitalise on the pre-assembled structure and provided liner by placing a generous layer of drainage crocks or gravel at the base before filling it with your 142L of quality potting mix. This essential preparation drastically improves aeration, helping the soil profile resist becoming sodden during the unpredictable British winter. Maximise the visual return of this grand trough by selecting plants with varying textures; pair the structured spikes of astelias with the soft, spilling forms of trailing calibrachoa to ensure the display remains captivating from spring right through to late autumn.

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.
