Using your Napa Home & Garden Paris - style planter is a breeze. First, choose your favorite plants and place them inside the removable metal liner. If your plants need drainage, you can drill some holes in the liner. Place the planter in a spot that gets the right amount of sunlight for your plants. As for maintenance, since it's powder - coated, it can handle different weather conditions, but try to avoid leaving it in extremely harsh weather for long periods. Regularly check for any signs of rust, though the zinc and powder coating should help prevent it. If you want to store it during the off - season, just clean it gently and keep it in a dry place. And remember, if you're not satisfied, you can return it within 30 days.
