Shop now to snag Wowcher UK deals on raised planters, bundles, and seasonal offers designed to maximise space and minimise effort.


Unbeatable Deals on Raised Planters


Discover substantial savings on raised planters that suit every outdoor area and every budget. Whether you’re creating a compact balcony garden or a larger backyard feature, Wowcher UK curates discounts on wooden planters, metal planters, and weather-resistant options that make planting simple and affordable.


Our range includes easy-assembly kits, modular designs, and lightweight options that are ideal for renters or frequent movers. You’ll find practical features like integrated drainage, water reservoirs, and planters with legs to improve air circulation and prevent moisture buildup. Plus, with frequent promotions and limited-time offers, you can refresh your outdoor look without breaking the bank.


What to Consider When Choosing a Raised Planter?


First, assess the space. Measure length, width, and height to ensure the raised planter fits comfortably and allows access for planting, weeding, and harvesting. Consider whether you want a freestanding unit for the ground or a balcony-friendly option with lighter materials and a compact footprint.


Next, think about material and durability. Wooden raised planters offer a natural look and excellent insulation for roots, but require sealing or treatment to resist rot. Cedar andThermally treated woods are common choices for longevity. Metal planters, galvanized steel or powder-coated aluminium, deliver a sleek, modern aesthetic and high durability, while plastic and composite materials provide lightweight, weatherproof options with low maintenance. Choose a material that suits your climate, weight limits, and maintenance preferences.


Drainage and depth are crucial. Planters with adequate drainage holes prevent waterlogging, which can damage roots. Deeper beds are ideal for vegetables like carrots, beans, or tomatoes, while shallow pots work well for herbs and leafy greens. If drainage is an issue, look for a liner, a built-in reservoir, or a simple insert to manage moisture efficiently.


Height and ergonomics matter for comfort. Raised planters come in varying heights, from around 20 cm for wheelchair-accessible designs to 60 cm or more for gardeners who prefer not to bend. Consider your height and how often you’ll garden to choose a comfortable option that minimizes strain.


What Are the Most Popular Types of Raised Planters?


Wooden raised planters remain a favourite for their warmth and natural appeal. They blend easily with garden furniture and provide good insulation for roots, especially when lined and sealed. Metal raised planters offer a contemporary look, excellent durability, and weather resistance, perfect for modern patios or urban balconies. Plastic and composite planters are lightweight, easy to move, and come in a vast range of colours and finishes, with UV resistance to keep colours vibrant over time. For gardeners seeking premium versatility, modular or stacking planters allow you to create layered planting beds that maximize space on tight balconies or small courtyards.


Other popular variants include timber with a water-reservoir system, elevated planters with integrated trellises for climbing plants, and planter boxes with detachable liners for easy soil replacement. Each type offers different care regimes, so choose based on climate, upkeep, and the plants you intend to grow.


How to Maintain Raised Planters?


Regular cleaning is key to prolonging the life of your raised planter. After planting seasons or heavy rain, remove debris and rinse the interior with water. If you have wooden planters, re-seal or treat the wood every one to two years to prevent cracking and rot, especially in damp climates. For metal planters, inspect for rust spots and touch up paint as needed to maintain a protective barrier.


Soil quality matters. Use high-quality compost and mix in slow-release fertiliser to support consistent growth. If you’re growing vegetables, rotate crops yearly to preserve soil structure and reduce pest pressure. Consider moisture control features such as built-in reservoirs, self-watering inserts, or mulch to retain soil moisture during hot spells.


Winter care is important in the UK. Drain excess water, remove fragile plants, and store lightweight planters indoors or cover them with breathable fabric to guard against frost. For larger or permanently installed planters, ensure that drainage remains unblocked and that soil doesn’t become waterlogged during heavy rains.


Keep your space organized with a cohesive set of raised planters that complement your garden decor. At Wowcher UK, you’ll find durable options, easy assembly, and stylish finishes designed to help you create a thriving garden sanctuary with minimal hassle.


What Plants Work Best in Raised Planters?


Herbs like basil, parsley, and thyme thrive in raised planters due to their easy access and well-drained soil. Leafy greens such as lettuce, spinach, and rocket grow quickly in shallower beds, while deeper boxes support root veg like carrots, beets, and radishes. Tomatoes, peppers, and dwarf fruiting varieties can flourish in taller planters with good sun exposure. For ornamental appeal, plant colourful annuals or perennials, geraniums, petunias, and lavender, that brighten balconies and patios.


If space is limited, consider vertical options with trellises or wall-mounted planters that allow climbing plants to thrive without occupying floor space. Pair your raised planters with smart irrigation or drip systems to maintain moisture levels efficiently and reduce daily watering chores.


Frequently Asked Questions about Raised Planters


Are raised planters suitable for small balconies?


Absolutely. Raised planters come in compact, balcony-friendly sizes that maximise soil depth while keeping overall footprint minimal. Choose lightweight materials like resin or powder-coated aluminium for easy relocation. Some models are modular, so you can expand gradually as your balcony space or gardening passion grows. Look for planters with integrated drainage and a stable base to prevent tipping in windy UK conditions.


What is the best material for durability in wet climates?


For wet climates, treated timber, cedar, or weatherproof composites are strong contenders because they resist rot and warping when sealed properly. Metal planters with powder-coated finishes offer excellent resilience but may require rust protection over time if not treated. Plastic options are lightweight and weather-resistant but can degrade with prolonged sun exposure unless they include UV stabilisers. Consider pairing with a moisture barrier or liner to extend the life of your raised planter in damp UK weather.


Can I use a raised planter indoors or on a covered patio?


Yes. Raised planters designed for indoor use or covered patios provide a neat way to grow herbs and small veggies year-round. Look for planters with moisture barriers and easy-to-clean surfaces. If you’re indoors, ensure adequate light, place near windows or supplement with grow lights. For covered spaces, ensure drainage remains functional to prevent water pooling and humidity issues.


Are there assembled or DIY-raised planter kits available?


Both options are popular. Ready-made elevated planters offer quick setup with minimal tools, while DIY kits let you tailor dimensions, heights, and finishes to your space. Look for easy-assembly designs with clear instructions, weatherproof screws, and pre-drilled holes. Many kits include liners or drainage solutions to help you get started fast and keep your plants thriving with less effort.
