Flower Box 175 cm

Description

Define Your Space With A Living Border

When you need to cover serious ground, the 175 cm Slim Wooden Planter Box is your ultimate landscaping tool. At almost two metres long, this container instantly creates a continuous green border without the massive cost or permanence of building brick walls. What makes this specific model so highly prized is its slim profile. At just 28 cm wide, it hugs boundary walls tightly and sits comfortably on narrow balconies, giving you a massive growing canvas that will never clutter your valuable floor space.

The Ultimate Spatial Divider

Because of its astonishing length and sleek profile, this box excels as a freestanding spatial divider. You can place a row of these units end to end to create a sophisticated, unbroken line of greenery. Recently, Jenya and I consulted with a client who used these 1.75 m boxes to line a long, narrow residential driveway. It created an attractive floral runway that beautifully separated the paving from the lawn without impeding any vehicle access. It is a smart way to zone large outdoor areas in Gauteng or guide foot traffic through a commercial courtyard in the greater Cape Town area.

100% Organic Timber Construction

Spanning nearly two metres requires exceptional build quality. We handcraft this extra-long container from 100% organic, natural, untreated timber sourced from sustainable forests. You will never find repurposed pallet wood in our products, ensuring your soil remains entirely free from hidden chemical treatments. Because a 175 cm span must handle immense soil weight, we bind the thick wooden planks exclusively with heavy-duty, rust-resistant screws. Relying on nails would inevitably lead to structural bowing and wood rot, but our secure fastening method ensures your border planter stays remarkably strong and perfectly straight through every season.

Built To Last Without Linings

Housing 82 litres of wet potting soil is challenging, yet our precise assembly ensures your growing medium stays securely in place without artificial plastic linings. We actively discourage adding gravel or drainage stones at the base of this unit. Placing stones inside restricts natural airflow and traps moisture, which dramatically shortens the timber’s lifespan. Instead, our unlined design allows the solid wood to breathe, providing your long row of plants with optimal drainage and superior root aeration.

Pro Tip: For a 1.75 m-long, slim planter serving as a spatial divider, create an impenetrable living screen using indigenous Plumbago. It grows rapidly into a dense, sprawling hedge covered in sky-blue flowers, providing a beautiful, wind-resistant partition that thrives effortlessly in the tough South African sun.
