Know before you buy
The planter top features a drainage system that allows excess water to filter through the soil and into the barrel below. This ensures your plants don't become waterlogged while simultaneously filling your reservoir.
Yes, the Savannah features a flat-back design specifically engineered to sit snugly against a wall or the side of your home, helping to save space on smaller patios or porches.
The unit includes an integrated routed channel that acts as an overflow diversion. This directs excess water away from your home's foundation to prevent pooling or potential water damage.
While the polyethylene construction is UV and frost-resistant, it is standard practice to drain the barrel completely before the first hard freeze to prevent ice expansion from damaging the unit.
Yes, the barrel is equipped with two brass spigots. You can easily attach a standard garden hose to one while using the other to fill a watering can.
The barrel comes with a built-in meshed screen located at the top. This effectively filters out leaves, twigs, and other debris while preventing insects from accessing the water inside.
