A compact trough for a smaller spot

The 90 × 30 × 18 cm trough is the shortest option in this range. Measure the intended spot and check that your selected plants have enough root space: a shallow trough will not suit every plant.

A longer trough for a patio edge

The 120 × 30 × 25 cm trough gives you a longer display while retaining a narrow footprint. It is supplied fully assembled. At the current price, one costs £40 plus £7.99 UK mainland delivery: £47.99 delivered. See our feature and planting ideas.

A larger planting box

The 120 × 50 × 48 cm planter has a wider footprint and higher overall sides than the narrow troughs. Its listed design includes a raised base and mitred top trim. Check the usable internal dimensions with us if you have a specific rootball or plant in mind.

A raised planting area

The 180 × 50 × 90 cm raised planter stands on supporting legs. The 90 cm measurement is its overall height, not its compost depth. Allow space around it for access, and ask about internal dimensions if you are planning a particular planting scheme.

Measure before you order

  1. Measure the floor space, allowing room to walk past.
  2. Check doorways, gates and the route to the final position.
  3. Match your plants to the usable depth, light and exposure.
  4. Check the listing for assembly, liner options and delivery.
  5. Position your planter before filling it.

Plants and compost are not included. Natural timber and handmade dimensions can vary slightly. Prices can change; the product page and checkout show the current amount.
