About Oblong Trough 200x50x50
Two metres of soil in a single run, with no joins to disguise. That is the whole case for the Oblong Trough 200x50x50: set it along a courtyard edge, a boundary wall or the open side of an entertaining area and you get one continuous root zone instead of a row of separate pots drying out at different rates. It belongs to our TOV lightweight planters range and our trough planters collection.
Length is the hard part at this size. The sidewalls carry bracing running both vertically and horizontally inside the shell, which is what stops a long, shallow vessel flexing once the mix is wet and heavy. The interior is sealed before it leaves the factory, so water sits against that barrier rather than against the composite. Colour is settled in store: any of the Dulux Weathershield Low Sheen exterior colours, held against the actual paving, decking or render it has to live with.
The same footprint turns up elsewhere in the catalogue. The TOV200 Trough is the listing that carries the TOV code and recorded pricing, and the TOV Planter 200x50x50 is the commercial variant of it.
A trough this long swallows more mix than most people budget for, so work the volume out on the potting mix calculator before you order, then position the trough empty and fill it where it is going to stay. If you would rather judge the colour in daylight and look at the bracing yourself, the swatches and a trough are both at our Malaga showroom.
How long is the Oblong Trough 200x50x50?
200 x 50 x 50 — a two-metre planting run, with width and depth both recorded as 50. Read it as one continuous line rather than a sequence of separate containers.
What is the trough made from?
TOV fibreglass-reinforced composite. It takes weather and load the way a much heavier material would, while the empty weight stays in the range one or two people can handle on site.
Why does a two-metre trough need internal bracing?
Because a long, thin vessel is working against itself once the mix is wet. Bracing runs vertically and horizontally inside the sidewalls across the full two metres, adding the rigidity that keeps the walls straight.
What does the sealed interior do?
It puts a factory-applied inner membrane between the composite structure and everything you plant into it, protecting the shell and supporting plant health.
Can I pick the exterior colour?
Yes — the exterior is finished in store from a wide selection of Dulux Weathershield Low Sheen exterior colours, so the trough can be matched to a specific project palette instead of worked around a stock colour.
