16" diameter x 7" deep -holds twelve side plants, twelve top edging plants and one 6" or gallon size centerpiece plant.
Basic Basket Planters are constructed from heavy gauge steel wire coated in black plastic and are supplied with removable clip-on chains.
The advantages of side planting are many. You get a lush, fully covered container much more quickly and an impressive floral display in weeks instead of months. But side planting used to require time consuming handwork, cutting holes in liners or juggling loose moss. Pamela Crawford's new side planting containers mean you can create spectacular plantings in a small fraction of the time it used to take.
New-design baskets and liners give spectacular instant results. Ingenious holes and slits in the coco-fiber allow mature plants with 3" to 4 " root balls to be inserted.
Side planted hanging baskets look terrific from below as well as from the side. Hang them in groups of three or spaced singly along a porch. Or use our Border or Patio Column Kits designed just for these Basic Basket Planters. 1. What is Side Planting

worked great
I bought five sets of disks and 16 baskets and installed them on our own 4x4 treated lumber posts in a sunny location. The instructions say to plant an astronomical 25 plants per pot. I know that 25 plants would fill in and make a nice show very quickly, but aside from being terribly expensive, I knew that the plants would become rootbound and crowded very soon. So I planted only ten plants per pot, a mixture of sun-tolerant begonias (Big and Surefire) and coleus (Main Street varieties), six around the sides (every second hole) and four in the top. It took them several weeks to fill in, but by mid-July they were looking good. By the end of July they were drying out quickly and I was watering twice a day. I was pretty happy with my first attempt at these, but learned a few things. The coleus were very rambunctious and took over the baskets, eventually becoming leggy and unattractive. Some of the branches even broke off. Well-timed pruning would probably have helped, and maybe less fertilizer. But overall, the effect was pretty nice. I am looking forward to next season and will be trying different plants.

I love my Kinsman baskets! (Sitting looking out the window at them as I write this review) They are simple sturdy pieces. Both the liner and frame have a nice weight to them and the holes in the liner were easy to use as well! 10/10 recommend!

Worth the effort!
It is a bit difficult to get the plants into the side holes. However, once that is accomplished, it looks gorgeous! And the plants actually survived the trauma!

I purchased one of these a few years ago and loved it. I bought this one for my Mom with the disk and mounting plate. She has a 4 x 4 and it will love great. She's excited. We need to wait for warmer weather. Thanks for the great products.
