Large Wooden Planters & Raised Garden Beds

Our wooden outdoor planters are made of Larch. They boast a number of benefits over other wood types making them ideal for making planters with a stylish finish, as well as providing an amazing long life.

Built to last. In fact, we are so confident in their ability to resist decay, we provide a 5 year guarantee but fully expect a working life of at least 10 years.
 

Benefits of using larch include:

•  Naturally resistance to decay. Hence no need to impregnate the wood   with toxic preservatives, as used in other soft woods
•  Aesthetically beautiful timber
•  Impressive stability, no distortion with time
•  Low maintenance
•  Constructed of hand selected Larch from sustainably   managed woodlands

The following properties are responsible for the durability of Larch:

•  High Density and Large Content of Heartwood – Heartwood is denser, less permeable, and more durable than the surrounding sapwood.
• The structural properties of Larch are far superior to treated pine and better than any softwood out there. Larch is the hardest softwood around.
• Unlike Cedar, Pine and Redwood, Larch does not need a wood preservative or paint layer to survive the outdoor elements. Other woods require annual re-application making them very low maintenance. 
• If you want to change the appearance, we suggest staining the wood. Larch takes a stain very well and with its grain features it can be amazingly beautiful when stained.
• We offer a staining service, but will also provide you with a supplier of our approved products to allow you to stain them yourself and touch them up if required.

Commercial Quality

All of our wooden Larch planters are produced to the highest commercial quality.

They can be distinguished from cheaper products from most retail outlets, not only because they are made from Larch, but due to the side panel thickness (50mm), in contrast to the much thinner panels used in the construction of most domestic planters.

For a professional finish and to prevent water ingress, they are constructed with picture frame standard mitred joints.

This ensures that our planters have a professional finish and are guaranteed for 5 years. Our Larch planters have a natural preservative and need no further treatment, unless staining is required.

No Toxic Preservatives are used. All sizes are made to a high commercial standard with 5cm thick Larch panels and mitred corners.
