Know before you buy
Yes, the cast iron construction is designed for outdoor durability. However, because cast iron can develop surface rust over time when exposed to moisture, you may want to apply a clear protective sealant if you live in a particularly wet or coastal climate.
These baskets are robust and built to support the weight of moist soil and mature plants. Ensure you are hanging them from a sturdy hook or bracket rated for the combined weight of the iron basket, wet soil, and plant growth.
Absolutely. The included coco fiber liners are standard 12-inch replacements. You can easily find generic 12-inch coco liners at most garden centers when the originals eventually break down.
The coco fiber liner itself provides natural drainage, allowing excess water to pass through while keeping the soil contained. Because of this, you do not need additional drainage holes in the cast iron frame.
The hanging chain is 18 inches long, and the basket itself is 7 inches deep. When fully assembled and hanging, you should expect a total vertical drop of approximately 25 inches from your mounting point.
