Log Lap Wooden Planter Trough - 120 cm Pressure Treated

The Log Lap Wooden Planter Trough - 120 cm Pressure Treated is a compact timber planter for patios, paths, entrances and smaller garden spaces. Its traditional log-lap profile gives a more rustic appearance than tongue-and-groove designs, while the pressure-treated Scandinavian redwood is intended for long-term outdoor use.

At 120cm wide, it is a practical size for smaller planting schemes, herb displays and areas where a longer trough would take up too much space.

What can you plant in a 120cm trough?

The 120cm length works well for compact seasonal displays, herbs, ornamental grasses and smaller shrubs, depending on mature size and root requirements.

It is also a useful size for kitchen herbs positioned near a patio, outdoor cooking area or back door, provided plants with compatible watering needs are grouped together.

Do you need to line a wooden planter?

A suitable planter liner can help reduce prolonged contact between damp compost and timber. If you use a liner, make sure excess water can still drain away.

Drainage and positioning

Place the trough on a stable, reasonably level surface and avoid standing water around the base. Good drainage helps both plant health and long-term timber care.
