Do wooden planters rot?
Wooden planters last for years provided water can escape and the timber is not standing in a puddle. Look for drainage holes, raise the planter on feet, and line the inside with plastic while leaving the base open. Naturally durable timbers such as cedar last longest outdoors.
- Drainage holes and pot feet prevent rot
- Line the sides, never the base

About our wooden plant pots
Wood brings something to a garden that no other material quite manages: it already looks like it grew there. Wooden plant pots and planters add instant warmth indoors and gentle, weathered charm outside, softening new-build patios and suiting cottage gardens down to the ground. Our wooden garden plant pots include troughs and barrel-style planters treated for outdoor life, generous enough for veg growing, roses or a small fruit tree. Indoors, wood plant pots work beautifully as cover pots for kitchens and hallways - all the texture, none of the watering risk, with a liner keeping timber and moisture politely separated. We also carry stone plant pots and stone-effect pieces for anyone after that timeless, weight-of-ages look without actual quarrying. Everything is honestly described, including how each timber weathers to silver-grey over the seasons. Free UK delivery over £20 and a 100% money-back guarantee.
Wooden Plant Pots - FAQs
How long do wooden planters last outside?
Treated timber planters typically give many years of service, longer if lined and raised off wet ground. Expect the colour to weather to silver-grey unless re-oiled.
Do wooden pots need a liner?
Outdoors, a liner with drainage holes keeps compost and timber apart and extends the planter's life considerably. Indoors, always use a liner or keep the plant in its nursery pot.
Can I grow vegetables in a wooden trough?
Absolutely - deep wooden troughs are superb for salad, herbs, strawberries and dwarf beans. Line them, fill with peat-free compost and keep the water coming.
Do wooden planters need treating every year?
A coat of plant-safe wood preserver or oil once a year keeps a softwood planter going strong, ideally in spring on a dry day. Hardwood and pressure-treated planters can go two to three years between coats. A liner inside does more for lifespan than any surface treatment.
