Our Heavy Duty Log Lap Rectangular Wooden Garden Planter is designed for customers who want more than just a basic planter — it’s built for strength, longevity, and premium garden styling. Handmade in Leek, Staffordshire using high-quality Scandinavian redwood, this substantial trough planter combines traditional craftsmanship with commercial-grade durability to create a feature that looks exceptional in any outdoor space.

Unlike many lightweight or thin-panel planters on the market, ours is constructed using thick 20mm log lap cladding fixed to a strong 50mm x 38mm internal framework, giving it outstanding rigidity and structural strength. Finished with a decorative 20mm x 70mm top lip frame, the result is a robust, heavy-duty planter weighing approximately 25kg — a true indication of quality materials and solid construction.

Why Choose Our Planter?

Many cheaper alternatives use thin timber, softwood panels, or lightweight framing that can twist, bow, or deteriorate after only a few seasons outdoors. Our planter is different. We use premium Scandinavian redwood, widely regarded as one of the best timbers for outdoor furniture and garden products due to its slower growth, tighter grain, and superior durability.

The timber is pressure treated (also known as tanalised), a process where preservative treatment is forced deep into the wood under high pressure. This protects the timber from rot, fungal decay, insect attack, and moisture damage from the inside out — not just on the surface. Unlike dip-treated products that require constant retreatment, pressure-treated timber provides long-term protection designed to withstand the British climate year after year.

Because of this treatment process, our planter is highly resistant to weathering and can last for up to 20 years with minimal maintenance required. You can leave it natural and allow it to age gracefully, or stain and paint it to suit your garden style.

Built for Longevity & Stability

At approximately 20kg, this is a genuinely heavy-duty planter that stays stable even when empty. The reinforced framework prevents movement and warping over time, making it ideal for both domestic and commercial settings including:

• Gardens & patios
• Restaurants & pubs
• Hotels & hospitality venues
• Schools & public spaces
• Landscaping projects

The spacious rectangular trough design provides plenty of room for colourful flower displays, shrubs, ornamental grasses, herbs, or seasonal planting arrangements, helping you create a striking focal point wherever it’s placed.
