IMPORTANT: FACE THIS WAY FRONT.

Note the pre-drilled drainage hole location in each plastic planter
bin. 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.

b. Fit the drain plug up into the bottom bin drain hole from

underneath. See DRAWING DETAIL. Fitting it up from
underneath allows you to remove it, in the future, should you
desire to manually drain the bottom planter bin.

c. 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

• Always ensure Vertical Garden stands straight and level.

IMPORTANT

• Always ensure all fasteners are firmly tightened.

SET UP INSPECTION SEQUENCE:

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 30-40Kg
(65 -90lb)

• Ensure no parts are missing and all fasteners are firmly tightened.

SECTION 2: MAINTENANCE

SECTION 3: STORAGE

Your Outland Vertical Garden is meant for indoor or outdoor use
and requires periodic maintenance to keep it in good condition.

• Should any par t of this appliance become soiled or dir ty,
wipe down with a damp wet cloth. Use only water based
cleaners.

• Check fasteners and ensure firmly tightened.

• 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. confirm the drain plug stopper is securely installed in

the lowest bottom bin drainage hole

vi. If you’ve exhausted the above and pesk y 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.

IMPORTANT
Do not use petroleum based, flammable or corrosive cleaning
products on or near this unit.

This appliance is NOT a toy.

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:

1 Remove plastic Planter Bins from frame.

2 Remove Rear Legs.

3 Store conveniently. See you next season.
