40cm Wide Wooden Garden Planter | Pressure-Treated Decking | Ready-Made

A square wooden decking planter, 40cm across, is a sensible choice for those who want a planting space that will last more than a season or two. It suits anyone looking to grow herbs, salad leaves, or a handful of flowers on a patio, balcony, or tucked along a garden path, and it does so without fuss or frills.

This planter arrives fully assembled, so there is no need to wrestle with screws or panels before you can get on with the business of planting. The boards are pressure-treated, which means they will stand up to rain and frost without giving way to rot in a hurry. Pre-drilled drainage holes in the base help prevent water from pooling around roots, which is the quickest way to lose a crop to rot or mildew. Elevated feet lift the planter just enough to keep it off cold, wet ground, which makes a surprising difference to both the life of the wood and the health of your plants.

Most people, in our experience, try to cram too much into a planter of this size. It is better to give each plant a little room to breathe, especially if you are growing herbs or salad greens, as overcrowding leads to weak growth and more work thinning out later. The square shape makes it easy to fit into corners or line up along a wall, and the natural finish will weather gently over time, settling in rather than standing out.

If you want a planter that will see you through more than one growing season, this is worth doing properly the first time. Give it a brush out at the end of each year, and if you can, lift it off sodden ground over winter. You will find it settles in quietly, and with a little care, will serve you well for years.
