Built as one piece rather than a box plus a separate stake, this planter carries a 21 by 25 inch lattice panel fixed directly to the back of its 25-inch trough. Climbing plants root in the soil below and grow straight into the mesh, and the panel is strong enough to carry a hanging bracket pot as well. The planting area measures 23 by 8.5 inches at a 6-inch depth, which suits sweet peas, ivy, or a row of trailing annuals. Two holes in the base plate release rain so the soil never stays waterlogged. Natural fir with a clear grain and a dark brown finish handles sun and rain without cracking, and the whole unit stands 30 inches tall on an 11-inch footprint while weighing just 9.24 pounds.
