Advanced Options

WITH OR WITHOUT FEET

If you’d like to elevate your planter off the ground, you have many choices available. A popular option that is offered at no additional cost is to add a 1” H foot to the 4 corners of the box. This allows you to hose under the box and keep the area clean. If you order a box that is over 24” L, we always add hidden supports under the box to make sure your box never sags (see photo below):

If you’d like to elevate your box more than 1”, we can add a stand for you for a small additional charge. Stands are available in 6” increments to any size you need. NOTE: To maintain stability for a free standing box, it is best to keep your total box and stand height at or below double the box width. You can exceed double the width stably if you can support and attach the box and stand to a wall or other structure.

Below is a typical stable set up that is not attached to a wall (Box & Stand are 30” H combined and box is 18” W):

HANGING HARDWARE - CLEATS FOR PLANTERS

Want to hang your planter on a wall? We offer hanging cleats for planters up to 144"L x 12"H x 12"W the cleats are made with the same wood grade as your planter. Cleats ship with the male portions attached to the planter. We ship the female cleats looseand include stainless steel screwsso that you can attach them into your wall before hanging the planter. We'll attach two, three or more cleat pairs depending on the planter size, but your cost for the cleats is the same: $15 total per planter.

DECK RAIL MOUNTING

We can add 3/4" strips of wood under any window box planter so that it will straddle your balcony railing. Balconies often have railings 4 to 5 1/2 inches wide. We can add the wood strips per your required spacing down for a snug fit. The charge is $10 regardless of the strip spacing or length of your planter. Just let us know in the comment box the spacing you'd like for the deck rail mounting wood strips and consider it done!

WATER TRAYS FOR PLANTERS

We can make Water Trays for planters in any size that you need. They can be made to sit outside the planter box as shown, or for larger planters, they can be built to sit inside the box where you can place potted plants. You can use these planters indoors as well as outside. Click on the photos at right for more information.

PLANTER FINISHES

Growing Veggies? Over the years, some customers have expressed concern about the possibility of getting wood sealant into the soil where they plan to grow food. If you share this concern, let us know. Any planter can be ordered without interior sealant treatment.  Just write us a note as you're checking out in the comment box and we will not use our oil-based sealant inside the box. We will seal the box on the outside only. The planter box will not decay for many years without an interior sealant despite the constant moisture because of the high quality wood we insist on using for all our products.

Redwood is so decay resistant that our planters do not need liners of any kind. Our planters are built with extra-thick high quality Redwood and fastened with stainless steel bolts and deck screws. There is nothing to decay, nothing to rust. Planter bottoms are elevated one inch off inside the walls for easy drainage. You can add soil directly into the planter box-no pots, interior liners or sealants are necessary. Drainage holes are 1/4-inch round and are scattered generously over the planter bottom. All planter sizes are overbuilt to prevent bulging or sagging.

We can custom build and ship Planter Boxes in any dimensions up to 14-Feet long anywhere in the U.S. In California we deliver planter boxes up to 20-Feet long. (If you live outside California and want a planter over 14-feet long, please contact us for a quote.) Most packages ship via FedEx Freight. See how easy it is to assemble our planter boxes!

FINISH OPTIONS

All our furniture ships finely sanded to 220 grit for a smooth to the touch finish.

The most popular finish is our Transparent Premium Sealant. This sealant leaves your furniture looking natural and helps keep the beautiful wood surface colors from fading for several years. We use Sikkens brand finishes because they are the best finishes on the market. For more information about our finishes and how to keep your furniture looking great year after year, please go to: https://www.foreverredwood.com/redwood-furniture/care-finish/

Unfinished (fine sanding only):

If you are applying your own stain or want the surface color to fade to a "weathered look" in a few months. We do not recommend you leave your furniture unfinished outdoors for any extended period regardless of wood quality. Outdoor weather changes constantly and it is best to at least seal the wood to protect it from consistently absorbing and losing moisture.

Transparent Premium Sealant - Recommended for Outdoors:

Below are the 5 grades of wood we offer with the Transparent Premium Sealant applied. The color tones shown are close representations of the color your furniture will look like. There is no extra charge for the Transparent Premium Sealant:

Douglas Fir (10 yr Warranty)	Mosaic Eco-Wood (10 yr Warranty)	Redwood (15 yr Warranty)	Mature Redwood (20 yr Warranty)	Old Growth Redwood (30 yr Warranty)

We also offer the Transparent Premium Sealant with the following stains. There is a small charge for adding these stains because it increases the total amount of coats to 4 with the sealant as the final coats:

Transparent	Cherry Stain	Coffee Stain	Black Premium Stain	White Wash

TIGER STRIPE EFFECT

Douglas-Fir when stained dark creates a "tiger stripe" effect as shown in this photo. It is beautiful and most customers love it. If you are looking for a dark consistent stain and do not want to see a “tiger stripe effect”, please go with any of the Redwood grades for a more consistent stain finish.
