Long and narrow at 36 in by 7 in by 6 in, this planter is shaped for the places a round pot cannot use: a windowsill, a ledge, or a narrow strip along a wall. The proportion is the point, and it is why the box adds beauty to a window or patio instead of blocking the view or the walkway. Inside, the cavity measures 32 in by 6 in by 5.5 in, a large space that runs a full row of herbs or seasonal flowers rather than one plant at a time. Two drainage holes at the bottom let excess water escape so the plants grow better rather than sitting in a saturated base. The board thicknesses are worth noting because they are what the 22-lb load rating rests on: side plates measure 12 mm and the bottom plate 8 mm, substantial enough to hold wet soil without bowing outward at the middle. Everything is 100% natural fir, a wood that provides durability and stability outdoors while keeping the empty box at just 4 lb, light enough to move fully planted with two hands. No assembly is needed, so it can be filled the day it arrives. The woodiness rural style of the exposed grain matches most decorating styles, and the box works equally well indoor and outdoor, which matters for a planter this narrow, since the same box that lines a sill through summer can move to a shelf when the weather turns. Because nothing has to be bolted together, there is also nothing to loosen over a season of watering.
