Description
Introduce a sophisticated touch to your outdoor areas with the Rowlinson Signature Heritage Trough Planter 2m. This premium horticultural container pairs decorative 12mm T&G fine-sawn vertical cladding with a smooth-planed top surround and matching legs, resulting in a meticulously handcrafted aesthetic. Because it forms part of the exclusive Signature Heritage Collection, this elegant piece instantly upgrades the look of any courtyard, patio, or expansive lawn, providing a robust yet refined home for your favourite blooms.
Designed to accommodate ambitious planting schemes, the planter holds an impressive 181L (0.181m³) of soil or compost. The generous internal dimensions of H320 x W1830 x D310 mm offer substantial depth for developing roots, whilst the overall external footprint remains a manageable W1955 x D400 mm. To ensure optimal growing conditions, the structure incorporates an open slatted base alongside an included, shaped, black, perforated polypropylene planter liner, working together to promote healthy drainage and help resist waterlogging.
Constructed from sustainably sourced timber that complies with rigorous environmental standards, this trough represents a responsible investment for the modern garden. The wood undergoes a thorough pressure-treatment process prior to delivery, protecting against insect attack and helping the material resist decay caused by the elements. While it arrives in a highly attractive natural timber finish, the surface is completely customisable; you can easily apply an exterior paint or wood stain of your choice to seamlessly integrate the planter into your existing landscaping scheme.

Finish - Smooth planed legs and top surround with mitred corners
Planter Capacity - 181L
Treatment - Pressure-treated (can be painted or stained if desired). Delivered flat-packed for easy construction

Make the Most of Your Planter
The impressive length of the Rowlinson Signature Heritage Trough Planter 2m makes it a formidable asset for garden zoning and screening. Positioning this beautifully clad container along the edge of a seating area acts as an attractive, low-level boundary, gracefully separating a paved dining space from the surrounding turf. Alternatively, use its grand proportions to bring life to an otherwise blank masonry wall, filling the lengthy expanse with cascading greenery. It also functions brilliantly as a comprehensive culinary station; sow an abundance of basil, rosemary, and thyme, keeping the planter positioned near your kitchen for effortless harvesting.
To get the very best from your displays, utilise the provided perforated polypropylene liner and add a shallow layer of grit to the bottom before pouring in your 181L of high-quality compost. This method works in harmony with the open slatted base to facilitate excellent drainage, helping to resist excessive moisture retention during the wetter months. By refreshing your arrangements as the seasons turn, perhaps planting delicate crocus bulbs in spring, vibrant trailing fuchsias throughout summer, and structural heather in winter, this premium heritage container will offer a constantly evolving, beautiful focal point.

Planter Maintenance
The Rowlinson Signature Heritage 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.
