3-Tier Vertical Cedar Standing Planter Box

Overview

The Timberlane Gardens 3-tier Vertical Cedar Standing Planter provides generous planting capacity in a compact footprint. Designed for patios, balconies, porches, and small outdoor areas, this planter offers three stacked levels of growing space while taking up minimal room when placed against a wall, fence, or the side of a structure. The added height makes it easier to tend plants at a comfortable level, and the extra tier gives you more room for herbs, flowers, and cascading ornamentals.

• Three-tier vertical planting for maximum growing space in a small footprint
• Ideal for patios, balconies, townhomes, and areas with limited outdoor room
• Tiers are spaced to reduce shading and allow fuller plant growth at each level
• Leans securely against a wall, fence, shed, or the side of a house
• Convenient working height for watering, pruning, and harvesting

Handcrafted Select Cedar construction

• Frame is built from Select Cedar, naturally rot resistant and suitable for edible plants.
• The main support frame uses mortise-and-tenon joints with locking dowel pins for strength without exposed metal fasteners.
• Planter box frames are built as solid, rigid units designed to support the full weight of planted inserts.
• Cedar components are left untreated with no chemical coatings, allowing clean and safe growing.
• Each piece is hand-cut and fit-tested in our shop for a solid, wobble-free assembly.
• Handcrafted by Timberlane Gardens in Homer Glen, Illinois.

Removable planter box inserts

• Includes four standard 17-inch plastic flower-box inserts — three for the planter tiers plus one spare.
• Soil sits inside the inserts instead of directly against the wood, helping prevent rot and significantly extending the life of the cedar frame.
• The inserts are made from polypropylene, a stable plastic used widely in professional food-growing systems.
• Inserts can be filled at a table or potting bench, then dropped into the frame when ready.
• Easy to empty and clean between seasons, making replanting simpler and less messy.
• The spare insert allows you to start new seedlings or swap plantings so the planter never has an empty tier.
• Replacement inserts use a standard 17-inch size available from many online retailers.

Easy, tool-free assembly

• Planter assembles in minutes with no tools required.
• Cedar components slide and lock together using the built-in joinery.
• Lightweight for setup but sturdy and stable once positioned.
• Stands approximately 60 inches tall; about 58 inches when leaning against a wall or fence.

Warranty

This planter includes a 2-year limited replacement warranty on the cedar frame components. Timberlane Gardens will replace material pieces that develop structural defects due to faulty materials or workmanship for 24 months from the date of purchase and cover shipping on approved warranty parts. Cosmetic changes, normal weathering, damage from misuse, and use outside the intended purpose are not covered. The warranty excludes the plastic inserts and any B-stock items.

We use sustainably sourced Select Cedar grown in the Pacific Northwest here in the USA, left completely untreated. Cedar is naturally rot-resistant with no chemical coatings, preservatives, or wood treatments added, and is safe for growing herbs, salad greens, vegetables, and other edible plants.
