The Rectangular Plastic Planter Box solves that problem with a generous 62.8\" length, a built-in water tray system, and tough polypropylene construction that holds up season after season. Whether you're a home cook growing fresh herbs on a porch, a balcony gardener maximizing limited space, or a homeowner adding greenery to a living room corner, this planter box is built for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMolded from food-safe polypropylene, this rectangular planter measures 62.80 × 15.70 × 14.60 inches (approx. 1595 × 399 × 371 mm) and weighs 16.89 lbs — substantial enough to feel stable, light enough to reposition without help. The coffee brown finish blends naturally with wood decking, terracotta pots, and garden furniture. A built-in water barrier and tray design filters excess moisture from the soil and stores it below, maintaining consistent humidity at the root level without waterlogging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it along a fence line for a continuous herb border, line a balcony railing for a compact vegetable strip, or place it indoors near a south-facing window for year-round growing.
