Colours
Q: How many colours are the pots available in?
A: All four planters - The Biggie, The Curvy, The Tubby and The Skinny - are available in 15 standard pigment-rich, matte colours, including black, anthracite, light grey, white, yellow, pink, light blue, red, orange, Brent blue, dark blue, forest green, boat green, purple and burgundy.
Q: Can I get a bespoke colour?
A: Yes. Additional or bespoke colours are available, subject to a minimum order quantity (MOQ). Contact us for details and pricing.
Materials & Durability
Q: What material are the pots made from?
A: All our planters are made from recyclable, medium-density polyethylene (linear MDPE for The Biggie), using a rotational moulding process. This permeates the colour all the way through the pot for a durable, colourfast finish.
Q: Are the pots durable?
A: Yes. They are extremely durable, impact-resistant, rust-resistant, and crack/shatter/frost-proof, with UV stabilisation to prevent fading. All have a matte finish and are stackable.
Q: Are the pots heavy?
A: No - they're lightweight for easy placement despite their size: The Skinny is 8kg, The Tubby 11kg, The Curvy 12kg and The Biggie 14kg.
Q: Do the pots have drainage holes?
A: No. All of our planters - The Biggie, The Curvy, The Tubby and The Skinny - have a fully sealed base with no drainage holes, so they're suitable for indoor and outdoor use straight out of the box. If you'd like drainage for outdoor planting, you're welcome to drill your own holes, or get in touch and we can advise.
Delivery & Shipping
Q: How are the pots delivered?
A: All pots are delivered palletised, with up to 6 pots stacked per pallet depending on the model.
Q: What is the delivery time?
A: Delivery is anything from next day to 3 weeks, depending on colour and quantity ordered.
Q: What are the shipping costs?
A: Shipping is £45 per pallet to England and Wales, £55 per pallet to Scotland, and £85 per pallet to Northern Ireland.
Q: Is there a minimum collection charge?
A: Yes, there is a minimum collection charge of £150 due to the size of the pots and the high cost of transport. Please check the dimensions of your chosen pot carefully before ordering to make sure it fits your space.
Ordering & Wholesale
Q: Is there a minimum order quantity?
A: No, there's no minimum order quantity for our 15 standard colours. A minimum order quantity only applies to bespoke or additional colour requests.
Q: Do you offer wholesale or trade pricing?
A: Yes, wholesale and trade prices are available on request for all four planters. Get in touch for a quote.
