SECTION 2: PLANTER
GARDENING
PLASTIC PLANTER BINS
The plastic bins are made from 100% new
Polypropylene material (PP) and are food
safe (BPA free, phthalate free, lead free,
mercury free). The bins have a 3000hr
UV stabilizer to protect the plastic from
degrading in the outdoors.
The Drain Plugs (Part 12) are made from
food safe silicone.
DRAIN HOLES
We listened to the experts (our customers).
These bins do not come with drainage
holes. Not everyone wants drainage holes
in their planters. But, if you want to add
drainage holes, we suggest using a 1/4”
(6mm) drill bit (drill bit not included). This
way, if you change your mind later on
(because you might change your mind!),
you can use the 1/4” silicone stoppers we
have supplied you with to plug the holes.
1” WATER RESERVOIR
If you are going to drill a drainage hole,
we recommend the hole be placed
approximately 1 inch up from the bottom
of the bin, on the front face of the bin. This
will create a 1” water reservoir.
Outdoor Gardening? No need to install
the drain plug. Gardening without the
drain plug allows excess rain water to flow
through the bins to the ground below.
DRAINAGE LAYER
Some gardeners recommend placing
approximately one inch of drainage filler
(pottery, shells, gravel, etc.) at the bottom
of the planter bin, before adding the soil.
This is optional. The bottom of the planter
bins have raised features denoting the
drainage layer line.
TIP: Why add a drainage layer? Some
people do this to help prevent root rot.
What this does is create a small water
reservoir below the soil line. As the plant
roots will prefer to stay in the soil above,
they won’t sit in accumulated water, where
they can potentially grow root fungus. The
water in the lower drainage reservoir will
eventually evaporate up through the soil,
keeping the soil moist. If the planter has a
drain hole placed 1 inch from the bottom, a
one inch water reservoir can be maintained
and the layer of drainage material will
minimize soil being washed through the
hole.

TIPS FOR WHEN YOU’VE DRILLED
A DRAIN HOLE
Gardening Indoors or on a Patio Deck?
Install the supplied Drain Plug (part 12).
a. Using the drain plug in the lowest
bottom bin prevents water drainage
and allows you to garden indoors,
or on your patio deck, with your
OUTLAND Vertical Garden.
b. Removing the drain plug allows
excess water to drain out of the lowest
plastic planter bin. When indoor, or
patio gardening, place a tray under the
bottom bin before removing the drain
plug.
IMPORTANT:
FACE THIS WAY FRONT. Ensure the
drain holes are placed front facing on
the hangers so water drains into each
bin below, in a cascading fashion, as
shown in the illustration. Otherwise,
water drainage will occur on the ground
(or floor) below.

SOIL BUDGET ASSUMPTION:
The dimensions of the planter bins are approximately 26.5”L x
9.5”W x 8”H (675mmL x 240mmW x 200mmH)
Add your preferred volume of Potting Soil Mix. (Soil not included).
Plan your budget for 28L (25 Quarts) of soil mix per bin and/or
adjust the volume of soil to suit your need.
WATERING FEATURE
The OUTLAND Living vertical garden planter bins will rotate on the
support pegs to make watering your plants easy and convenient.
The Vertical Garden should be inspected before use and at least
annually. More frequent cleaning and/or adjustments may be
required as necessary.
Prior to each use:
• Ensure placement is on a level and firm surface able to hold the
fully loaded weight of the frame, which is approximately 60-
70Kg (130-160lb)
• Ensure no parts are missing and all fasteners are firmly
tightened.

SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE
Your Outland Vertical Garden is meant for indoor or outdoor use
and requires periodic maintenance to keep it in good condition.
• Should any part of this appliance become soiled or dirty, wipe
down with a damp wet cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use petroleum based, flammable or
corrosive cleaning products on or near this unit.
• Should you experience water dripping from the drainage holes
in ways which are obviously unintended, or detrimental to your
home, we recommend the following trouble shooting:
i. confirm the vertical garden is sitting level
ii. confirm each bin is sitting level on the bin hanger
iii. confirm each drainage hole is positioned above the bin
below
iv. confirm your lovely plants aren’t redirecting flow
v. If you’ve exhausted the above and pesky water seepage
is still finding its way (because we all know it sometimes
does!), we recommend to find a small piece of hose
or tubing to fit snugly inside the problematic drainage
hole(s). Align the tubing so the flow of dripping water
actually falls where you want it to fall.
This appliance is NOT a toy.
WARNING:
Do not climb on the Vertical Garden or use it as a ladder or
serious injury, property damage and/or death may occur.
WARNING:
Do not drag or push the Vertical Garden with fully loaded
planter bins! At worst, the frame could fall, causing serious
injury, or death. At minimum, it could damage your floors.
Always remove the planter bins before moving the frame.
SECTION 5: STORAGE
Your Vertical Garden has been designed to conveniently store away
when not in use.
• We recommend to store your Vertical Garden under cover
during winter, or when not in use.
Follow these instructions to ready for storage:
• Remove plastic Planter Bins from frame.
• Set aside the bin hanger brackets.
• Remove Rear Legs.
• Store conveniently. See you next season.
