THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB

Elevated Planters

An elevated planter can change the working height of a container project. Check full dimensions, reach, drainage, and the manufacturer's filling and load guidance. Give the intended surface particular attention, including any site-specific restrictions on a deck or balcony.

A FEW POINTERS

Choose with your garden in mind.

What matters most

  • Measure working reach and the planter footprint.
  • Read support, drainage, filling, and load requirements.

Where the tradeoffs land

  • An empty planter's weight does not describe the filled setup.
  • The surface beneath it needs its own assessment.
GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you head outside
