Materials

  • Most planters are built with a combination of Western Red Cedar and Japanese Cedar "Sugi" Cedar is rot resitant. Cedar is light. Our cedar planter by itself is about 80-100 pounds.
  • Reclaimed cedar can be used. However the material is rarely available in sufficient quantity.
  • As far as lifespan and durability goes, there is not much difference between the different types of wood. This is due to the fact that the interior is lined, stopping any water from getting the wood wet on the inside. On the outside the bricks hold the planter off the ground stopping water from wicking up from the ground. Pressure treated wood is used on the inside, so that doe's not degrade either. The only time the wood get's wet is in the worst parts of the winter from rain splashing off the ground on the base of the planters, which doesn't affect it due to the protective coating.

  • Coatings

  • The planters are coated with an outdoor wood coating product called Timber Pro Coatings.
  • (enviromentally safe, very very low voc content).
  • Link to Timber Pro Coating products
  • Specifically we use Timber Pro's deck and fence formula of there coating products.
  • https://timberprocoatingsusa.com/products/deck-fence-formula/
  • Current choices are -Natural and Ebony
  • However any color can be chosen for a extra charge.
  • Some clients have purchased uncoated and have the planter color matched to there house or fence.
  • The natural is a very slight tan tone, as for the Ebony it is as dark as you can get.

  • Warning: It is important NOT to have a black planter located in a sunny exposed spot in the afternoon sun.
  • Unless you plan on irrigating it a ton, it would absorb lots of sun and get hot and dry out the bamboo quickly.
