Raised Vegetable Planter in Massif Central Douglas Fir - 104x54 cm, 96 Litres

This raised garden planter is made from untreated Massif Central Douglas fir, section 90x21 mm. Its external dimensions are 104x54xH 90 cm with an internal volume of 96 litres (internal dimensions: 95x46xH 22 cm). The working height of 90 cm allows you to garden standing up without bending over, eliminating the lower back strain associated with ground-level growing. It is delivered pre-assembled, ready to use upon receipt with no assembly required.

Untreated Massif Central Douglas fir has a natural durability class 3–4. Its pinkish-brown wood gradually turns grey outdoors without any loss of mechanical strength. Manufacturing is local, in France. This planter is suitable for a garden, a large terrace, or an outdoor commercial space.

Installation advice

Place the planter on a stable, level surface. On a wooden terrace, insert plastic shims under the feet to prevent moisture from pooling beneath the structure. Fill with a mix of light topsoil + compost + perlite (50/40/10) to limit total weight — a full 96-litre fill represents approximately 70 to 80 kg depending on the substrate. Check the load capacity of your terrace before filling completely.

Care and protection

Untreated Douglas fir naturally turns grey over 6 to 12 months. This greying is purely aesthetic and does not affect the wood's resistance. To preserve the original colour, apply a Douglas fir outdoor wood saturator every spring. Clean the feet after each season to remove soil deposits. In winter, if the planter remains outdoors, overwintering it empty reduces the risk of the wood splitting under the effect of frost.

WoodUp Tip

Worth knowing before you buy: this planter is delivered pre-assembled, ready to use. Check the clearance needed to receive and position it, as its external dimensions (104x54 cm) are considerably larger than the usable growing volume (95x46 cm). For the 96-litre capacity, allow for 48 kg (dry lightweight compost) to 106 kg (garden soil) depending on the mix used. Untreated Douglas fir naturally turns grey; an exterior oil applied upon receipt limits this effect during the first few years.

Frequently asked questions

Is this planter suitable for growing tomatoes or courgettes?

Yes for cherry tomatoes and compact varieties. The internal depth of 22 cm is sufficient for herbs, lettuces and small tomatoes. For tall-stemmed tomatoes or courgettes, a depth greater than 30 cm would be more suitable.

Can this planter be left outside in winter?

Yes, Douglas fir is frost-resistant. For optimal longevity, partially empty the substrate at the end of the season and cover with a breathable tarpaulin during hard frosts. Overwintering empty in a sheltered spot is recommended if the planter is very exposed to the north.

What is the total weight once filled?

The empty structure weighs approximately 20 kg. A full 96-litre fill adds 70 to 80 kg depending on the substrate. We recommend filling the planter directly in its final position.

Is untreated wood suitable for food crops?

Yes. Untreated Douglas fir contains no chemicals that could migrate into the soil. This is one of the reasons it is recommended for food-producing gardens.

Are drainage holes needed in the base?

The structure is open between the base boards, ensuring natural ventilation and drainage. On an impermeable terrace, add a 3 to 5 cm layer of gravel before the substrate to speed up the drainage of excess water.
