Description
Command attention and redefine the boundaries of your outdoor living space with the monumental Rowlinson Premier Patio Trough Planter. Stretching to an impressive 1.8m in length, this substantial trough shares the charming, heavy-duty interlocking timber construction characteristic of the Premier range, offering a delightfully rustic, textured alternative to standard smooth-planed designs. Because it has been engineered for remarkably easy assembly, you can swiftly build this large-scale structure and immediately begin plotting out magnificent, sweeping floral arrangements for your terrace, courtyard, or decking.
Living up to its commanding physical presence, this expansive container provides an enormous soil capacity of approximately 166 Litres. The vast internal dimensions of H345 x W1710 x D310 mm deliver an unparalleled environment that allows extensive, varied root networks to establish and spread without competition, whilst the H370 x W1800 x D400 mm exterior ensures it creates a substantial boundary without excessively encroaching on your lawn or patio area. The thick, interlocking timber base provides ample support for the weight of damp compost.
Manufactured from high-quality, responsibly sourced timber, this heavy-duty trough represents a superb, long-lasting investment for the dedicated gardener. Long before dispatch, the raw wood is subjected to an intensive pressure-treatment process, equipping the material with the necessary protection against insect damage and helping the robust structure resist weather-induced decay across the varied British seasons. Supplied in an appealing natural timber finish, the highly textured, chunky surface serves as a brilliant blank canvas, giving you the ultimate flexibility to apply a coloured outdoor stain or paint to perfectly harmonise with your home's exterior palette.

Make the Most of Your Planter
The sheer 1800 mm width of the Rowlinson Premier Patio Trough Planter makes it an unparalleled tool for large-scale garden zoning and softening extensive, harsh boundary lines. Position it strategically along the edge of a raised patio to act as a natural, flourishing balustrade, especially when filled with a dense, continuous row of aromatic lavender or structural ornamental grasses. Its chunky, textured appearance also works beautifully when against long stretches of stark, modern fencing, providing a heavy-duty stage for billowy, informal planting such as trailing nasturtiums, delicate cosmos, and sprawling sweet peas.
To guarantee your ambitious, large-scale 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 expansive base before pouring in your 166 Litres of quality potting mix. This crucial preparatory step drastically improves aeration throughout the large container, helping the massive soil profile resist becoming saturated during the unpredictable winter months. By updating your extensive planting scheme to reflect the shifting seasons, perhaps opting for sweeping drifts of tall, structural alliums in spring, followed by a riot of colourful dahlias in summer, this magnificent, elongated trough will remain a spectacular garden highlight all year long.

Planter Maintenance
The Rowlinson Premier Patio Trough 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.
