Cedar and redwood are among the most popular materials for wooden garden pots. Cedar is a common choice because of its durability, resistance to rotting and fungi, and natural oils that preserve the wood’s quality. Redwood is used because of its similar rot resistance, smooth appearance and beautiful red tone that will enrich any exterior space. Here at Taylor Made Planters, our garden wooden planters are built from a selection of high-quality hardwood and softwood materials, including redwood, cedar, pine, iroko, accoya and yellow balau.
Yes. Whether you want a square wooden planter or a wider trough planter design, we have a selection of sizes and styles to suit your needs. We also frequently work with councils and commercial businesses to deliver custom-sized extra large wooden planters for a variety of external locations, including parks, abbeys, supermarket entrances and more.
Even though wooden planters are durable and sturdy, you can further increase their longevity with the addition of a liner. This will create a barrier between the soil and the wood, which reduces the rate of rot and decay, and helps the soil to remain moist for healthy plant growth. We supply all our wooden planters with a liner as standard, helping to prolong the life of your product.
If properly maintained, planters made from hardwood, such as iroko, redwood, and cedar can last for over 20 years. Pressure-treated softwood, on the other hand, lasts anywhere between 8 to 15 years. The lifespan of your timber planter can be increased by keeping it off the ground, lining it with an appropriate material, and preventing it from continued exposure to harsh weather.
We recognise the importance of sustainable timber and guarantee that all of our products are crafted using only the highest quality responsibly sourced, FSC-certified wood.
The best outdoor planter materials are timber, terracotta, fibreglass and metal. However, the most adequate one is the one that best suits your purpose. Timber is highly durable and flexible, so it’s great for bespoke designs and commercial projects. Terracotta is highly versatile and ideal if you’re looking to give an earthy appeal to your garden. Fibreglass is lightweight and can handle any weather conditions. Metal containers such as aluminium planters don’t rust and don’t need painting, making them the most cost-effective option.
