Good quality, easy to assemble, better looking than others at this price

My wife found these online and asked me to buy them. Initially I was annoyed because I was planning to build some raised beds using good timber left over from shed and decking projects. Then I looked closer and saw that these seemed use a decent thickness of treated timber, look nice and would save me a lot of time. Every length is cut to precision and every edge uniformly bevelled, I wouldn't have been able to get the same consistency myself and it would have taken me a lot longer than the quick self-assembly required here. And the bonus is that the screws that come with the product are actually of a decent quality and not the soft junk that often comes with diy items these days; I had expected I would swap any included screws for my own preference, but no need here. Only downside I could see is that some of the pre-drilled pilot holes at the bottom corners (step 2) could clash with the screws already driven at a right angle into the sides (step 1) - so keep an eye out for that before fixing those screws in - in such cases you might want to drill a new pilot hole slightly across to avoid the bottom corner screws hitting the side screws.

How to please one's daughter!

We searched the net for a planter such as this to help revamp a large elderly patio. So it came at a good price as a xmas present.delivered in the time slot quoted. Hardest part - removing the wrapping, After that easy assembly,with mallet, drill and screwdriver. Just need to put it in its place and plant it up. We like it.

Excellent product and service

Excellent product and excellent service - what you see advertised is what you get! When assembling I found it easier to drill a bigger pilot hole than suggested in the instructions but this is a very minor criticism.

Jane Davies Asked:

Can you put soil straight into the planter and then plant honeysuckle, clematis or climbing roses? Is there any drainage?

We Replied:

Dear Jane Thank you for your question. Yes, you can plant straight into this planter. It is pressure treated. Water will drain out of the bottom of the planter through the wood, however you can increase drainage by putting in some gravel or broken pots. We have these planters at the front of our garden centre planted with roses. They just need a feed every few months.

Steve Ship Asked:

We would like to place two planters against our garden wall to create raised beds. The area is currently soil so would this planter be suitable or perhaps either the Caledonian planter / Forest Caledonian raised bed?

We Replied:

Dear Steve Thank you for your question. I would say that any of them would be suitable. We use all of them in our garden centre as raised beds. The Rowlinson Patio Planter has a planed timber finish which is less rustic than the Caledonian planters. Should you wish to contact us further or to place an order, please call us on 0121 355 7701.
