White Terrazzo Trough

The White Terrazzo Trough is a long, straight sided planter from the Precinct Lite range, made from fibrecement with a white terrazzo look finish. It comes in two lengths, 600mm and 800mm, and the shape is built for linear planting: a run of herbs along a balcony, a low band of grasses beside a path, or a mixed planting that reads as a garden bed rather than a pot.

Why you'll love it

• Terrazzo look with real texture. The speckled white finish has a subtle surface texture, so it holds up as an architectural piece rather than a painted panel.
• Lighter than concrete. Fibrecement gives the trough strength without the dead weight of a cast concrete planter, which makes positioning it a two person job rather than a trolley job.
• Long enough to plant properly. At 600mm and 800mm it takes several plants in a row, so you can build a real mixed planting instead of squeezing in one specimen.
• Drainage built in. A moulded drainage hole prevents waterlogging, and no liner or insert is needed.

Sizes and what fits in them

Both sizes are stocked, and the extra 200mm of length changes what you can plant.

• 600mm. 60cm long, 24cm wide and 30cm high, holding roughly 30 to 35 litres. Enough for a herb run, a row of compact flowering plants or three small grasses.
• 800mm. 80cm long, 31cm wide and 36cm high, holding roughly 55 to 65 litres. The deeper profile suits compact shrubs and layered plantings.
• Best planting. Herbs, flowering plants, ornamental grasses and mixed arrangements.

Material, weathering and drainage

Material. Fibrecement with a textured white terrazzo look finish. We recommend sealing it before planting, which protects the surface and extends the life of the trough.

Outdoors. Rated for indoor and outdoor use, from courtyards and patios to entryways and open plan interiors. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth or rinse it with water, and set it on a stable level surface before planting.

Drainage. One built in drainage hole and no self watering reservoir. No saucer is included, so use one indoors or on any surface you do not want stained.

What to expect when it arrives

The trough ships empty and unplanted, packed for transit. The 800mm size needs a clear run of bench, balcony or paving, so measure before it lands. Troughs are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
