Bandu Square
Sustainable bamboo planter for outdoor gardens, the BANDU is a stylish, eco-friendly choice for gardeners looking for a natural alternative to tropical hardwood. Made from renewable bamboo, it combines durability, natural character and a distinctive varibo pattern, making it ideal for adding a modern, sustainable touch to patios, terraces and garden spaces.
The BANDU features a rich dark-brown finish and textured bamboo construction. Apply a protective coating once a year to maintain its colour, or leave it untreated to naturally weather to a soft grey. The varibo pattern adds extra texture and character, while bamboo provides a renewable alternative to traditional timber planters.

What is Bamboo?
Bamboo is becoming increasingly popular as an element in gardens and this is reflected in our products. It is an excellent alternative to tropical hardwood. This is because bamboo grows much faster than hardwoods and can therefore be harvested much sooner. Tropical hardwood forests take 60 to 120 years to regenerate after being felled, while bamboo takes only 4 to 6 years. The plant regrows quickly – so quickly, in fact, that it is necessary to cut it back regularly.
Advantages
- 5-year guarantee.
- Bamboo is a natural, sustainable, strong material with a long lifespan.
- The standard thickness of the bamboo is 20 mm, and the rim panel is 40 mm thick.
- The base is 90 mm high and recessed by 58 mm.
- Unlike other woods, bamboo shrinks and swells very little.
- If left untreated, bamboo will turn grey naturally as it ages. This colour change is caused by UV radiation.
Important Info
- Products should be unpacked immediately upon receipt to release any moisture trapped inside the packaging. If the product is left in its packaging, it may develop patches of uneven discolouration.
- Note: To preserve the dark brown colour of the bamboo, treat the planter with a protector immediately after placement.
Planting Advice
- Cover the bottom of the planter with about 10 cm of hydro pellets.
- Place a permeable anti-root membrane over the drainage material.
- Cover the membrane with soil suitable for your chosen plants.
