Timber planters carry a maintenance schedule. Wood takes oil or stain to hold its colour, and joints open as the boards move. The Woodland Collection is fiberglass moulded with a real wood plank and grain texture, which is how Jay Scotts give the appearance of wood without the concerns that usually come with leaving timber outdoors.
Two troughs, one footprint, two heights
Sedona and Siena share a plan exactly: 17 inches deep, in 36, 48, 60 and 72 inch lengths. The difference is height. Sedona stands 32 inches — Jay Scotts designed it for spaces that need height, separation or privacy, along walkways, patios and pool decks. Siena stands 24 inches and reads as a planted border rather than a divider. Run them together and the footprints line up.
At 17 inches deep both are narrow enough for a walkway or a balcony edge, and both carry a 34.1 by 15.1 inch interior at the 36 inch length, rising to 70.1 by 15.1 at 72 inches.
A cube in four sizes, and one round
Asheville is the cube, at 17, 20, 24 and 28 inches, with straight walls that hold the same section from rim to floor — the square plan makes it easy to place beside an entrance or arrange around a seating area. Aspen is the only round in the group and the only one sold in a single size, a 20 inch diameter by 23 inch tall body at 19.8 lb with an 18.1 inch opening. Its gently tapered profile suits specimen plantings, ornamental grasses and smaller trees.
What to know before ordering
Every planter in the collection arrives finished in walnut. There is no colour to choose and no custom paint lead time, unlike the twenty-colour Jay Scotts painted range. Jay Scotts describe the collection as combining the look of natural wood with the strength and weather resistance of fiberglass, and they seal the outer surface of every planter with a UV-resistant coating as it is made, before any colour is applied.
Drainage is an option rather than a default. Choose it on the product page and Jay Scotts drill the holes free of charge before the planter ships, sized to the grow pots each planter is built around — from a 14 inch pot in the smallest cube up to five 13 inch pots across a 72 inch trough. Leave it off and the planter arrives sealed. Drilling cannot be undone, so a drilled planter is final sale, and holes you drill yourself may void the warranty.
Both troughs ship freight at every length, as does the 28 inch cube; the other three cubes and Aspen go Ground. Every size lists its exterior dimensions, interior opening, packaged weight and shipping method on the product page. Each planter holds a three year Jay Scotts warranty from the time the product is accepted.
