Bespoke Planters
Elevate your outdoor space with a bespoke planter
Being a trained bespoke furniture maker, I wanted to use my eye for detail for more than just indoor accessories I wanted to also bring you durable high quality outdoor accessories too.
Materials
It is important to me that all the timber I use is FSC certified so that my clients can be sure of the sustainability and traceability of the materials. I either make the planters from pressure treated softwood - this of course is a more cost effective material to us. Or I do also offer hardwood planters from materials such as oak and iroko.
I also line the planter if required. Over the years I have experienced poor quality liners which rip, tear and perish over time and are just not up to the job. We use a heavy duty rubber liner that is extremely durable to give the planter longevity and make it easy to plant out. You can opt for just the base to be lined or you can have the liner up the internal sides.
Finish is completely up to you and something we will discuss when we engage initially. I tend to use hardwearing oil based finishes that can help to repel water and moisture - I have listed some popular options below;
- Light brown – Our most popular finish and the one we use on all of our off the shelf planters. It gives the planter a nice wash of colour but is not too dark.
- Dark brown – we can also offer a dark brown option.
- Unfinished – some clients require the planter to be unfinished so they can paint them themselves and match other garden features.
How to order
If you are interested in having a bespoke planter made, our process is nice and easy!
You can simply drop me an email or give us a call and we can discuss what dimensions and style you are interested in. After this we will then come up with a drawing to give you an idea of what your planter will look like. As well we will quote a price too.
When we have confirmation that you are happy with the drawing and the dimensions we will then ask you to pay a 30% deposit before we start to make. When the planter is completed, we can arrange delivery / postage and also ask you for the balance. When the balance is paid we then ship the planter to you.
