Tall Narrow Planters
Whether creating privacy on a roof terrace, screening a seating area or adding greenery to a narrow walkway, tall narrow planters offer a practical way to introduce planting without sacrificing valuable space.
Making the Most of Limited Space
Tall narrow planters are useful where planting is required but floor space is limited. They are commonly used beside entrances, patios, balconies and seating areas where wider planters would be impractical.
Choosing Suitable Dimensions
Finding the right balance between height, width and length is important. A planter that is too narrow may restrict planting choices, while a slightly wider planter can provide greater soil volume and flexibility.
Positioning and Access
Tall narrow planters are often used in locations with restricted access such as roof terraces, balconies and courtyards. Before ordering, consider how the planter will be delivered and positioned, particularly if stairs, lifts or narrow gateways are involved.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What is considered a tall narrow planter?
There is no fixed definition, but tall narrow planters are typically deeper or taller than standard planters while maintaining a relatively small footprint.
Will a tall narrow planter blow over?
Potentially, yes. A tall narrow planter positioned in an exposed location and planted with tall screening plants may be more susceptible to wind than a lower, wider planter. If the planter is being positioned against a wall, railing or similar structure, it may be worth considering discreet fixing brackets for additional security.
Are tall narrow planters good for privacy screening?
Yes. Tall narrow planters are frequently used to support screening plants where space is limited, helping create privacy around patios, balconies and roof terraces.
