Overview

Introducing our new elevated trellis planters - the latest addition to our popular line of cedar garden beds and planters - made in the USA from durable, naturally rot-resistant cedar.

Grow anything from flowering vines to vegetables and herbs in this elevated planter. With a narrow footprint, these planters work well along railings or to enclose an area on a deck or patio. The trellis structure and climbing plants provide an attractive focal point or backdrop, enhancing your outdoor area.

Choose your planter width, length and depth to suit your space and needs. The trellis portion is 36 inches tall, and the planter and trellis together measure 70 inches tall.

Features & Benefits:

• Solid cedar construction:  Unique tongue and groove assembly is strong and lightweight, superior to other wood trellises. Dadoed crosspieces fit together to form a tight grid, we have found stronger than traditional lattices.
• Vertical gardening:  Train plants to grow vertically up the trellis, increasing your planting place in a small footprint.
• Privacy screen:  Trellis creates a natural screen, combined with leafy vines, to provide privacy and enclose your outdoor space.
• Grow flowering vines:  This sturdy trellis provides reliable support for heavy flowering vines, from delicate clematis to fragrant jasmine, which you can enjoy around outdoor seating areas.
• Elevated design & accessibility:  The elevated planter and trellis brings your garden to a comfortable working height, without having to bend or kneel.
• Made in the USA

Planters with 11 inches planting depth are popular and versatile enough to grow most vegetables, herbs and flowers. Planters 16.5 inches deep provide more soil for deep rooted plants.

All our cedar raised garden planters are 34 inches tall, allowing you to comfortably stand and garden at waist height. Wheelchair users can access the garden while positioned sideways to the planter.

Durable Cedar

Planters and trellises are made from kiln-dried Western Red cedar. It is a fragrant wood with strong natural oils to protect against moisture and fungal decay. Cedar can be painted or stained, or left unfinished to gray naturally.

We offer Eco Wood Treatment as one option for a sealant. Eco Wood Treatment works by penetrating wood fibers to create a natural buffer against water and fungal decay. It increases wood's durability while creating an aged, silvery patina after just a few hours.

Set Up & Assembly

These planters can be set up on any hard surface that is flat and level, such as a patio, courtyard or balcony. For the planter portion, simply stack the boards and insert corner pins. Then attach the legs, planter bottom and trim with included screws. A power screwdriver is recommended. Detailed assembly instructions and all necessary hardware are included.

For the trellis portion, assembly involves arranging the vertical and horizontal cross pieces on a flat surface, then gluing the notches and applying pressure to form a grid. Once the cross pieces are in place, the frame can be attached with included screws, again applying wood glue to the notches where the cross pieces join the frame. The final steps are attaching the trellis assembly to the planter box, along with the end braces.

We recommend letting the boards sit in a garage, shed or covered area for 3-5 days to allow the boards to acclimatize to their new environment. This helps to prevent any cupping, warping, and gapping.

Adding a layer of gravel to the bottom of the planter isn't necessary, as the slatted bottom provides good drainage. Optionally, line with landscape fabric to prevent fine soil from washing out.
