Large Rectangular Block Planter Box - Tall Rattan-Style Planter 36in

Our review of this large rectangular block planter box finds it best suited for gardeners and homeowners who want a durable, attractive long planter for patios, decks, or balcony vegetable beds. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a roomy 36 L x 12 W x 16 H interior and a rattan-like exterior that delivers handcrafted warmth without the maintenance of natural wicker. Assembly is straightforward and the included removable liner keeps soil separate from the PE rattan weave, making it a practical choice for regular use.

Key Features

• Long bed space: The 36in length provides ample room to plant rows of herbs, compact vegetables, or mixed flowers for a continuous display along a railing or walkway.
• Rattan-like appearance: The handwoven PE rattan look gives a natural, handcrafted warmth while avoiding the rot and upkeep of real wicker.
• Removable liner: The included nonwoven fabric liner separates soil from the wicker and helps maintain the planter by reducing wear from moisture and roots.
• Durable construction: Built with a high-quality metal frame wrapped in PE rattan, the planter is lightweight yet sturdy and resists rust and weather exposure.
• Easy storage and assembly: Ships flat and breaks down for storage, with clear instructions that most users will find easy to follow.
• Versatile placement: Designed for patios, decks, pool areas, and commercial entryways, it also works well as a space divider.

Who It's For

This planter is ideal for urban gardeners who need a long, narrow container for herbs, lettuces, or decorative plantings on balconies and narrow patios. It also fits homeowners who want the rattan aesthetic without the maintenance of natural materials and need a weather-resistant solution for outdoor use.

Those who should look elsewhere include gardeners who require very deep root space for large shrubs or trees, since this unit is optimized for annuals, vegetables, and medium-sized perennials rather than large specimen plants.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Easy assembly and flat packaging make setup and seasonal storage convenient.
• Attractive rattan-style appearance offers a handcrafted look without natural wicker maintenance.
• Removable nonwoven liner protects the wicker and simplifies repotting or soil replacement.

Cons

• The 16in height and liner limit very deep-rooted plantings; not intended for large trees or oversized shrubs.
