Add drainage holes · free

Outdoor planters usually need drainage. Indoors, most people leave them sealed.

Which should I choose?

Why it matters
Rain and irrigation collect in a sealed planter with nowhere to go. In cold climates that water can freeze and expand, which may damage the planter. Standing water is also hard on most plants.

Do I need it?

  • Outdoors: almost always, especially anywhere that freezes.
  • Indoors: usually not. A sealed planter works as a cachepot or holds a nursery liner, which is what most people want on a floor they would rather keep dry.

What we do
Drilling is free and done before your planter ships, to the manufacturer's specification:

  • 1 to 2 inch holes every 12 inches of planter length.
  • For example, a 60 inch planter gets 4 to 5 holes.
  • If you prefer to drill your own later, use the same spacing. Holes outside these guidelines are not covered by the warranty.

One thing to know

  • Drilling cannot be undone, so a drilled planter is final sale.

Shipping & Delivery

Made to order
Each planter is hand-finished when you order it. Allow 3 to 5 business days of production before your order ships. Gloss finishes need 5 to 7.

Curbside freight delivery
This size ships on a pallet by freight truck for a flat $395, free on orders over $2,000. The driver lowers it to the curb with a liftgate; plan for a second person to move it into place. The carrier will call to schedule a delivery window, so please be available. Freight transit is usually 3 to 5 business days once the pallet leaves, and up to 7 to the Mountain states and the West Coast. You will get tracking when the pallet leaves, and we will confirm the delivery window with you once the carrier books it.

Returns
This size is final sale except for a manufacturer defect or shipping damage.

If it arrives damaged
Inspect the shipment before you sign. Note any damage on the bill of lading or delivery receipt before signing — to the boxes, the planter, or the packing material. A delivery that arrives visibly damaged or not intact may also be refused outright. You are entitled to open each box and inspect the goods; if the driver will not wait, write on the paperwork that you could not check for concealed damage. Report it to us in writing within 24 hours of delivery at customerservice@sereneyards.com, with photos of the damage, the cartons and the packing material, and keep all packaging until the claim is resolved. Damage noted at delivery and reported this way is covered — contact us and we'll make it right, either by replacing the planter or refunding you. Damage not noted at the time of delivery is much harder to resolve, because the carrier claim depends on that record. Full details are in our Shipping Policy.

Every Jay Scotts planter carries a three-year limited manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, which applies whether or not an item is returnable.

The Spiral is the only planter we sell whose rim is not level. The opening is cut on a slant, so one side of the mouth stands higher than the other.

That gives the planting a direction. A level rim presents the same face from every angle; this one has a low side and a high side, and an arrangement set into it leans out of the low one. Point that toward the main approach and the planter reads as moving rather than sitting. Turn it the other way and it closes up. It is worth deciding before it is filled, because at twenty-six inches across and filled with soil it is not something you nudge.

The body is exactly as wide as it is tall, wrapped in a continuous horizontal groove that breaks a large round mass into bands. Without it, a form this size would read as heavy. The opening is just under seventeen inches, so there is real planting room. No pot size is published for it, so size a liner to that figure or plant directly. Fiberglass is why a twenty-six inch body weighs twenty-three pounds: non-porous, so it does not take up the water that expands on freezing, and hand-finished to order in the color you choose.

Spiral Round Planter in the studio

A ribbed barrel that reads as movement.

Built to last

Every piece we carry is chosen to last, indoors or out, and look considered for years, not seasons.

Built to last

Inside or out

Non-porous fiberglass with a UV-resistant finish: it does not absorb the water that expands on freezing, so it holds its shape through winter and its color through summer.

Ribbed and turning

A coil of motion

A continuous horizontal groove wraps the bulbous body and the opening is cut on a slant, so a heavy round form reads as movement rather than mass.

Finished to order

Your color, your space

Each Spiral is hand-finished in your chosen shade, so the color is specified to the space rather than chosen from what is in stock. The finish is an automotive-grade, UV-resistant paint system.

Finished in your color

Every planter is finished to order in the color you choose, then shipped to you.

Twenty standard finishes, hand-finished to order in the color you choose. Custom colors are available on request. On-screen color is a guide and can vary slightly from the finished paint.

Questions, answered

Can the Spiral be used indoors and outdoors?

Yes. It's premium fiberglass, non-porous and UV-resistant, so it does not absorb the water that expands on freezing and does not fade in full sun.

Drainage is what decides it in practice: water left standing in an undrained planter through a freeze is the common failure, not the material.

How big is the Spiral?

It comes in one statement size: 26 inches wide and 26 inches tall, with an opening about 16 inches across cut on a slant. It weighs about 22.9 lb boxed.

What is the spiral texture and slanted opening?

A single continuous horizontal groove wraps the whole body, so it reads as one coil turning from base to rim, and the opening is cut on a gentle slant. It is one piece of molded fiberglass, not an applied texture.

What can I plant in it?

The belly is deep and wide, which suits a full mounding planting, a small multi-stem tree, or a single sculptural specimen that plays against the ribbed surface.

Does it come with drainage holes?

Not by default, so it can hold a liner or double as a cachepot. You can add drilled drainage on request; note a drilled planter is finished to order and non-returnable.

How heavy is it?

Fiberglass is light for the size: about 22.9 lb boxed, so one person can move it before it is planted, though it is bulky enough that you will want a clear path.

Do I have to fill a tall planter with soil all the way down?

No, and on a deep planter you should not. Some models carry an integrated internal ledge about 10 to 12 inches below the rim that holds a nursery pot, so the planting sits at the top and the depth below stays empty. A ledge weighs about 3 to 5 pounds and carries 75 to 100 pounds, and it is made for selected models at extra cost. Without one, lighten the base with empty plastic bottles or jugs. Avoid anything that breaks down, which encourages mold and bacteria.

What soil should I use?

Potting soil, potting mix or container mix only. Topsoil is heavy and gets heavier when wet, which puts outward pressure on the planter walls and compacts where a container mix stays open. Set the root ball one to three inches below the rim, water to settle it, and finish with a top dressing such as river rock or moss.
