Bespoke Wooden Planter: A Custom Creation for Your Garden

The wooden decking planter in the images below is a bespoke job, meaning that it was custom-made to the specifications of the customer. The planter is made of Redwood Pressure Treated Decking Wood, which is a durable and weather-resistant wood that is perfect for outdoor use. It is also lined to prevent rot to the wood.

The customer asked for the planter to be made long and narrow. This design allows for a variety of plants to be grown, from tall flowers to trailing vines. The planter is also raised off the ground with feet, and it is easy to access and maintain.

The bespoke wooden decking planter is a beautiful and functional addition to any garden. It is a perfect way to add a touch of personality and style to your outdoor space.

Here are some of the benefits of choosing a bespoke wooden decking planter:

• Custom fit: The planter will be made to the exact dimensions that you specify, so you can be sure that it will fit perfectly in your garden.
• Durability: Redwood Pressure Treated Decking is a very durable wood that can withstand the elements, so your planter will last for many years to come.
• Weather resistance: The liner will prevent soil from touching through the wood, so your plants will stay healthy and hydrated.
• Style: The planter’s unique design will add a touch of personality and style to your garden.

If you are looking for a beautiful and functional way to add to your garden, a bespoke wooden decking planter is a great option. Contact us today to discuss your custom planter needs. CLICK HERE to fill out our Bespoke Form.

Here are some additional tips for choosing a bespoke wooden planter:

• Consider the size and shape of your garden: The planter should be the right size to fit in your garden and to accommodate the plants that you want to grow.
• Choose the right wood: Redwood is a good choice for outdoor planters, but other woods such as cedar and mahogany are also suitable.
• Consider the finish: The planter can be finished in a variety of ways, such as staining, painting, or sealing.
• Budget: Bespoke planters can be more expensive than mass-produced planters, but they are worth the investment for their durability and style.

With a little planning, you can choose a bespoke wooden planter that will add beauty and functionality to your garden for years to come.

I was asked to make some display benches from the owner of Draycott Nurseries, as they have been renovating Draycott Nurseries and wanted better display benches for their flowers in their new retail area of the site.

I was given a brief on what they wanted with 3 different sizes, 21 benches in total, pictures below.

Once I had done these benches they then needed another 5.

I have taken pictures of all the different sizes and also the first 21 on site and in position at Draycott Nurseries.

Absolutely fabulous custom bench with planters and trellis. I can’t rate Bob highly enough, superb communication throughout from specification to delivery and even assembled it for me on site! Quality piece, very sturdy and looks even better when stained. Will definitely be buying from Bob again when looking for garden furniture in future. Thank you Bob (and Sam)!

We were asked to build some planters for Stone Railway Station Platform to fit in between some information signs on the platform, by North Staffordshire Community Rail Partnership (NSCRP).
​Below are some pictures of the planter in place before they were filled and after with flowers and plants in.

Here we have a side of a house that has just a plain brick wall, they wanted a little feature to look at when looking out of the kitchen window instead of a brick wall.
We had a briefing that they wanted a planter with a trellis to about 4 feet high and a couple of small planters at each end.
We custom built a 120cm x 40cm x 33cm planter with a 3 foot trellis attached on the back with 2 40cm x 40cm x 27cm planter each side.
Once they had put it in place they sent us a picture to show us how nice it looks in place, and they also sent us a picture once they painted it, hope we will be able to update this with a picture once they have put all their plants in, so we can see how nice it looks.

We had a customer request to combine the Hearts In Wood Collection Benches with hearts on the bench and hearts on the front panel.
We completed this and they came to pick the bench up and loved it, and couldn’t wait to get it home and paint it in their garden colours.
A couple of days later the customer sent us a message saying ‘Thank you so much for building our garden bench we are dead pleased with it’, they also sent us a picture of the bench painted and placed in their garden.

We think this looks great, the colours have brought out the hearts just lovely.
We would like to thank our customer for their lovely words and the picture so we could show this on our website.
