Copyright © 2006 Catherine Wilson Mind Your Manors, Inc. http://www.windowboxesetc.com Until recently if a purist wanted a real, wooden window box or planter he or she had to resign themselves to the fact that it would rot every few years. When it did the process would start over with more boxes being built, hung and re-planted. Additionally, they might even have to resort to finding a carpenter to make the boxes because they typically are not sold in lawn and garden centers except for an occasional cedar box here and there. Money and time down the drain...all for a bit of aesthetic charm. Why not choose a wrought iron window box instead of wood? You don't have to worry about wrought iron rotting but you do eventually have to deal with rust. You also have to replace the coconut liners which are an additional expense as well as require time to install and replant. Wrought iron or metal hay racks are typically very shallow making it difficult to establish a good root system. Often, daily watering is needed in the hot summer months. Furthermore, if your home is made of wood you could potentially rot the side of your house by using wrought iron? Why not choose a copper window box instead of wood? You don't have to worry about them rotting but you do have to be concerned with the metal heat conduction causing your plantings to suffer. Additionally, copper is not for all tastes. Why not choose plastic? Although you don't have to worry about rotting the most obvious reason is that plastic is cheap looking! What would you do if you could have the look of a painted wooden window box without the maintenance? What if you could capture that purist look of wood without sacrificing the quality and without the rot? There are window boxes today that are made of a poly vinyl resin composite (pvr) or cellular pvc that do not rot. These boxes are milled from sheets and boards of the pvr or pvc that are comparable to wooden 2 X 4's and plywood. They don't have the look of a plastic injection molded box. You can leave them white, the way they come or you may paint them to match the trim of your home. Often these synthetic products are stronger than wood as they are not a breathing entity like wood. These no rot materials have been available in the building industry for close to a decade now and have been used in various applications such as columns, shutters, doors, windows and trim. However, there are very few window box and planter companies using this type of no rot product. It is obvious that as plants are watered, the boxes and planters are going to get wet, and therefore, rot! So, a "no rot" composite is perfect for a window box or planter application. So, if you are looking for a wooden window box but have held off because it just did not make good financial sense think again. Consider a window box or planter made from a no rot composite. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Article is written by Catherine Wilson, Interior Designer and owner of Mind Your Manors, Inc. makers of No Rot window boxes and planters.
