Mayne Nantucket Trough Planter

The planter features a built-in reservoir at the bottom that holds 17 gallons of water. As the soil dries out, it pulls moisture upward through a wicking process, ensuring your plants receive consistent hydration without you needing to water them daily.

Yes, the Nantucket is crafted from durable, weather-resistant polyethylene with a double-wall design that provides insulation against temperature fluctuations. While the material is fade-resistant and built for the elements, we recommend ensuring the drainage holes are clear before the first freeze to prevent ice buildup.

While the outer dimensions are 36 inches long by 16 inches wide, the interior planting area measures 32 inches long by 12 inches wide with a depth of 14 inches. This provides a soil capacity of 18 gallons, which is plenty of room for a lush arrangement of flowers or herbs.

The planter weighs 22 pounds empty, which offers a stable base. Once you add the 18 gallons of soil and the water reservoir, the total weight increases significantly, making it very sturdy and unlikely to tip over in standard windy conditions.

The overflow drainage is designed to let excess water escape to prevent root rot, which typically means water will exit the bottom of the unit. Because of this, it is best suited for outdoor use on patios, decks, or porches rather than indoor flooring.
