Reviews

Unusual use for planter

"We ordered the planter, not for plants, but as a pretty and convenient container for our 20lb propane tank for the bbq on the back deck of our trawler boat. It matches the white polywood deck furniture in the cockpit nicely! As with all polywood products, it is substantially made."

Great peace would like to

"Great peace would like to have got 20 in but don't have they are GREAT"

Richard B. (5/5)

Quality is great, design is

"Quality is great, design is not. It is open bottom so water/drainage is everywhere on the cement. It would be great if they sold something specific for this that fit underneath to catch the drainage."

Julie P. (1/5)

Traditional garden 16" planter

"Very nice to look at. Surprised me it was not solid inside. Mush better this way. Size is fine for what I wanted it for. Have plans to put tree type plant in them."

wayne m. (5/5)

Fabulous planter

"This is a great size planter that goes well with my other Polywood furniture. All I had to do was take it out of the box, pop in a potted plant and it was ready for the summer!"

Mary F. (5/5)

Traditional Garden 16" Planter

"Looks great with our other furniture. Nice style and detail. Not just a square box. Heavy duty and came fully assembled. What more could you ask for. Should look good and last a long time as all of our Pollywood has."

Q&A

Do you have plant stands?
Hi Dana, Great question! We do not have plant stands, but we do have a Traditional Garden Planter, SKU GP16. Thanks for asking! Lana
A liner for these would be so helpful!
Hi Sarah, Thank you for reaching out! I'm happy to pass this info along to our Product Development Team for future consideration. Best, Lana
What planting containers that fit inside are recommended?
Hi Lyndsey, Great question! We don't recommend a particular type of container for our Traditional Garden Planter, if the size of the container will fit within the inside dimensions of 12.93" x 13.19" it should work just fine. Thanks! Lana
I don't understand the bottom of the planters. How can you plant something in this with just slats on the bottom?
Hey Michele, Thank you for reaching out to us about our planters. With our planters most of our customers who use these use them to hide the pot the plants are in otherwise you can always look for a liner to be used with this. Thanks -Jason
What is the recommended weight limit? I want to hide my hose in it.. I know that’s not recommended.
Good afternoon Krystal, Thank you for your question! We do not have a weight testing standard for this item, but any standard hose will be able to fit in the planter! Have a great weekend:) Thank you, Olivia
I see questions about a liner for these back in 2020 and 2019. Do you have one available yet?

can you paint them ?
Hey Pat, Please don't paint them, it will void the warranty and the paint will not stick. However we do have 8 lovely colors to choose from :) Have an awesome day! All the Best, Laurie
Can this planter hold a propane tank?
Hello Victoria, Thank you for your question about this product. We would recommend that this is used for its intended use as a planter. If it is used in another way, other than it's intended use, may void the warranty. Thanks again
is the Polywood 'Teak' color the same as the Trex Treehouse color deck boards?
Hello there, that is a good question. The Teak color is going to be the same as the Trex furniture Treehouse lumber. Thank you for reaching out with your question, and please reach out to us with any further questions or concerns. Best wishes, Collin.
Can this be taken apart and reassembled to put around a deck post?
Hello! Thank you for your question! We do not recommend disassembling any of our POLYWOOD furniture and rebuilding it into a different shape I'm afraid, as this will void the warranty on the product. We apologise for the inconvenience! We appreciate you reaching out. Thanks! Oli
Has your “team” come up with a liner for this lovely planter? The suggestion was made in January. Tomorrow is August 1st. Sounds like enough time to some up with an easy fix.
Hi There! A liner for our planter is a great suggestion. We love receiving suggestions from customers and are sure to bring them to the attention of our internal team. This way they are able to determine if they would like to proceed with the suggestion at that time. We highly suggest our email subscription, so you are automatically notified of any new items that are coming out. Thanks, Lindsey
How did you line these planter boxes? I just received two today and was so very disappointed that I can't plant in the right away. I've looked everywhere online for a liner that will fit but, can't find anything!
Hi Lucille, We don't have any liners available for this planter as of yet unfortunately. I will definitely pass this idea along to our product development team though. We've seen our customers put 12" pots in these planters and it's worked beautifully so you could give that a try. Thanks! Cait
Does the planter have a drain for excess water?
Hi Don, Great question! The bottom lumber slates are spaced out enough for excess water drainage. Thanks for asking! Kaylan
Does the planter require assembly?
The planter ships fully assembled so NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED! Isn't that awesome! Thanks for asking, Karen
What are the internal dimensions of planter?
Hello, J Max! Thanks for reaching out! The internal dimensions of the Traditional Garden 16" Planter are 13.1875 inches by 12.9375 inches. Hope this helps! Julia ​
Does the planter come with a liner?
Hello DL, The planter does not include a liner at this time. Thanks for asking! Rolando
