We wanted to break the mould of the UK garden sector, notorious for manufacturing cheap, unsustainable products, so we use only the highest quality materials, and hand-build each planter to order in our workshop (in Herefordshire)! Each container is rotationally moulded (to avoid plastic cracking & fracturing usually found with plastic products) from MDPE in Somerset – it’s the same grade of material used in UK clean-water pipes, meaning it’s totally non-reactive and food-safe. We also use twice-galvanised steel for the frame (with stainless steel set-screws) so it’ll never rust, aluminium training bars (to support crops) and even a brass ‘hoselock’ connector to join with your garden tap. The planters are also humidity and heat resistant, and we’re so confident that they’ll last in a greenhouse or polytunnel, that we offer a 10-year warranty!
Easily set-up in minutes, the kit arrives part-built and requires only partial frame assembly (with a provided hex-key), irrigation priming and – finally - backfilling with soil! The kits are also easily dissembled and moved to a new space, as required.
The kits are designed to require minimum maintenance and are both UV and rust resistant, to keep them looking great. To maintain a shine, the steel frame can benefit from occasional polishing with a simple spray of WD40. The kits are easy to use and provides a comfortable working reach of nearly 60cm (the ergonomic optimum), and also includes a lip to prevent soil spillage. We recommend brushing this off from time-to-time, to keep everything looking tidy!
Varies - model selected will fit with the greenhouse size specified; 'K' number reflects number of rows, and the second number indicates number of planters; i.e. a 'K2.7' contains 2 rows and 7 planters. Please get in touch if unsure, we'll be happy to provide further details! Standard planter height is 72cm, but can be adjusted to 62cm and 82cm if specified (short & long leg lengths, respectively).
