Description
Revitalise your garden design with the expansive Rowlinson Premier Patio Trough Planter 2m. This exceptionally long, rectangular planter provides the perfect setting for cultivating a lush mix of colourful blooms, trailing vines, or fragrant culinary herbs, injecting immediate character into your outdoor environment. Its elegant, uncluttered lines make it a highly adaptable piece, looking just as striking on a contemporary composite deck as it does bordering a traditional stone patio.
Engineered to offer a vast amount of planting room, this trough boasts an approximate capacity of 204 litres. The impressive internal dimensions of H345 x W1910 x D310 mm ensure that complex root systems have the vital space they need to spread, allowing your botanical arrangements to flourish year-round. Despite this immense volume, the planter maintains a practical footprint of W2000 x D400 mm alongside manageable external dimensions of H370 x W2000 x D400 mm, maximising your growing potential without overwhelming the available area.
Built from sustainably sourced timber that complies with rigorous environmental standards, this garden container is a fantastic choice for the ecologically minded buyer. To help resist damp conditions and deter insect damage, the wood is thoroughly pressure-treated during manufacturing, a technique designed to significantly prolong its usable life. It arrives with an appealing natural wood finish, though the surface is perfectly prepared for exterior paint or wood stain, giving you the freedom to match your existing outdoor decor. In addition, the straightforward design ensures easy assembly so you can commence your gardening projects swiftly.

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.
