The URN617 on Wheels combines substantial linear planting capacity with the freedom of complete mobility. Stretching 1.7 metres in length with a compact 400 mm footprint, this trough provides an effective physical boundary for defining outdoor dining zones, creating living perimeter green screens, or separating entertaining areas on paved pool terraces.
Where standard masonry or stone troughs become immovably heavy once filled with soil and plants, the URN617 is constructed from lightweight, high-tensile marine-grade fibreglass. Built-in recessed castor wheels allow a single person to glide the trough across flat paving or decking to follow changing sun paths, clear space for gatherings, or clean beneath the planter.
With a 455 mm planter height, the URN617 provides a stable foundation for upright screening plants such as bamboo, sansevieria, ficus hillii, or flowering hedges. Explore complementary shapes across our trough planters collection and broader fibreglass range.

What are the exact dimensions and soil capacity of the URN617 on Wheels?
The URN617 measures 1700 mm long, 400 mm wide, and 455 mm high. It holds approximately 260 to 290 litres of potting media when filled to planting depth. Use our potting mix calculator to determine exact potting mix bag requirements.
How do the integrated wheels function on outdoor paved surfaces?
The wheels are recessed into the base structure, remaining discreet while providing smooth rolling action across paved patios, concrete concourses, and timber decking. For outdoor longevity, wheel components are built to resist water exposure and outdoor grit.
How should soil drainage be managed in a mobile trough planter?
To keep mobility smooth and prevent waterlogging, place drainage mesh over base drainage holes, followed by a 40 mm layer of lightweight expanded clay aggregate or drainage gravel before adding soil. This ensures rapid drainage during winter storms without adding excessive dead weight.
Can nursery pots be used inside the trough instead of direct soil filling?
Yes. Many commercial operators and homeowners prefer placing 250 mm to 300 mm potted nursery plants directly into the trough on lightweight raisers. This keeps the unit remarkably light to roll around and enables rapid plant swaps without digging.
Can the URN617 be used indoors across timber or polished concrete?
Yes. For indoor settings, verify that base drainage points are plugged and use internal plastic saucers beneath individual grow pots. This prevents moisture from seeping onto polished floorboards, carpets, or decorative tiles while allowing easy repositioning.
