Large 2 Tier Wooden Garden Planters | Rustic Raised Planter Boxes for Outdoor Spaces

Here is a large two-tier wooden planter for those who want to bring structure and a bit of order to a patch that needs it, whether that's a gravelled corner, a concrete yard, or a stretch of grass that never quite comes right. We have found these planters especially useful where you want to lift planting up off the ground—perhaps to keep roots out of standing water, or simply to make tending easier on the back.

The planters arrive fully assembled, so there is no fiddling about with nails or instructions. Each one is put together with decking screws, which hold better over time and can be tightened if ever they work loose. The feet keep the base off the ground, which helps with air flow and means the timber dries out properly after rain. Drainage holes are already in place, so you need only fill with compost and get planting.

You will find the planters available in green or brown, depending on what we have in stock, and the finish will settle in with the rest of the garden as the seasons pass. The exterior measures 19.5cm wide and 32.5cm high, with an internal width of 15cm and a depth of 28cm, so there is room enough for a good root run—useful for anything from trailing annuals to small shrubs. The length varies, so you can choose what suits your space.

Most people try to cram too much into a planter of this size; in our experience, it is better to give each plant a little room, water well in dry spells, and top up the compost each spring. If you want the planter to last, lift it once a year to clear away any build-up underneath, and brush off leaves in autumn so the wood can dry.

A planter like this is worth doing properly the first time, as it will see you through many seasons if you keep it clear and give it a little attention each year. It works well for lining a path, breaking up a paved area, or simply giving a few favourite plants a place to thrive. Once planted, you will find it settles in quietly and does its job without fuss.
