Made-to-Measure Garden Planters: Built for Your Exact Space
Finding a garden planter in roughly the right size is easy. Finding one that fits your space properly can be much harder. A planter may be slightly too long for an alcove, too deep for a narrow balcony or too low to give the proportions you want.
That is why Planter Potters offers made-to-measure wooden garden planters. Instead of adapting your space to a limited range of standard sizes, you can choose the length, depth and height that work for you and receive an instant online estimate.
Why choose a custom-size planter?
Outdoor spaces rarely follow standard measurements. Patios, balconies, decking areas, entrances and boundary walls all have their own dimensions. A made-to-measure planter can help you:
- Use awkward or narrow areas more effectively
- Create a neat, fitted appearance along a wall or fence
- Choose a comfortable planting height
- Match several planters across the same outdoor space
- Avoid settling for a planter that is almost—but not quite—the right size
Whether you need one long statement planter, a compact design for a balcony or a matching set for a larger garden, the dimensions are chosen around your available space.

How to measure your space
Good measurements are the key to a planter that fits well. Measure the available area at more than one point, particularly if it sits between walls, posts or other fixed features. Allow a small amount of clearance so the finished planter can be positioned without scraping surrounding surfaces.
Length
Measure the full space from left to right. For a fitted look, decide how much clearance you would like at each end before entering the final length.
Depth
Measure from the wall or boundary towards the usable area. Remember to leave enough room for paths, doors, furniture and comfortable access around the planter.
Height
Consider both the appearance and how you plan to use it. A taller planter can make planting and maintenance more comfortable, while a lower design may suit seating areas or spaces where you want to preserve the view.
Built for everyday outdoor use
Our custom planters are handmade from quality timber and pressure-treated to help resist rot and weathering. Each planter arrives fully assembled, so there is no flat-pack construction to deal with.
Practical features include:
- Pressure-treated timber for lasting outdoor performance
- Pre-drilled drainage holes to help reduce water build-up
- Raised feet to improve airflow and protect the surface below
- Natural timber finish that complements modern and traditional gardens
- FSC- and PEFC-certified timber from responsibly managed sources
- Recyclable packaging wherever practical
Optional liner and wheels
You can tailor the planter further with useful add-ons. A self-install liner adds another layer of protection between the compost and timber. Heavy-duty wheels are also available if you want to reposition the planter; the required fixing holes are pre-drilled to make installation easier.
Ideal for more than large gardens
Custom planters are particularly useful where every centimetre matters. They can be made for patios, decking, balconies, courtyards, entrances and commercial outdoor areas. Choosing the dimensions yourself also makes it easier to create a balanced layout, repeat the same size across a space or combine several complementary sizes.
Frequently asked questions
Does my planter arrive assembled?

Are drainage holes included?
Yes. Pre-drilled drainage holes are included to help prevent excess water from collecting inside the planter.
Do I have to add a liner?
