"Because our planters are made from high quality materials similar to those used to manufacturer other outdoor products such as boats and cars one may expect to a long life span with proper care and maintenance."

"Absolutely. There will not be any problems to use fiberglass planters in either very hot climates or very cold climates. In addition, planters will not crack in the winter from freezing temperatures."

"We use an industrial grade finish, similar what is used on automobiles, which has been UV tested and specially designed so it may be used for outdoors. With proper care and maintenance such as waxing and cleaning the finish will stay beautiful for years to come. "

"Because our planters may be used indoors or outdoors they do not come pre-drilled with drainage holes. If you request it at the time your order is placed we could be happy to offer this service. If you choose to open the holes yourself this may be done with a standard drill and drill bit. There are not special tools required and no you will not damage the planter."

"Yes, these planters may be used for direct planting. "

"There are countless options for plants that will look attractive and work well in your planters. To make the best selection possible consider the following variables. Will the plant be placed indoors or out? Will the location have bright or minimal light? What are the ideal light, nutrient, water and weather requirements for the plant? Some plants are not well suited to containers because their aggressive roots fill all of the available space in the container and then begin to push their way through the container. While you don't have to worry about this with the majority of plants it is something to keep in mind. To ensure success in selecting the proper plants for your container, we urge you to consult with your plant provider to be sure your plant grows well in the containers and to learn what soils, nutrients, lighting and \/\later are required to keep your plants healthy.
Please note, Fiberglass planters should only be filled with a lightweight potting soil, not top soil."

"The fiberglass finish may scratch in your planter in the same manner that a car or boat fiberglass surface may scratch. While this is not a big concern once your plants are planted, it is important to be careful during transport so you don't scrape or move your planter against a rough surface. We do recommend that care be taken to protect the finish of your planters."
