Northcote Pottery - False Bottom U Pot

Northcote Pottery - False Bottom U Pot

Maximise your design impact while streamlining your planting workflow with the premium Northcote Pottery False Bottom U Pot range. Purpose-built for the discerning Australian home gardener and commercial landscape designer alike, these striking, deep U-shaped planters offer an elegant, vertically oriented architectural silhouette. The innovative internal false bottom design dramatically reduces the volume of potting mix required, preventing heavy, waterlogged soil zones while keeping the entire installation lightweight, beautifully balanced, and easy to manage on balconies, alfresco terraces, or indoor spaces.

Engineered to withstand harsh local weather conditions, these premium Northcote Pottery planters boast a highly robust construction that easily handles intense UV rays and drastic seasonal temperature shifts without cracking. Perfectly scaled to elevate vibrant seasonal flowers, cascading trailers, or structural indoor foliage, this premium range delivers clean-lined sophistication and long-term durability for your front-of-house styling, modern courtyard transitions, or entryway displays.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Since oversized items require special handling, we may need to provide a custom freight quote for your order and will contact you with an updated shipping rate.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup - default method
✔ Direct delivery - requires forklift on site
✔ Direct delivery with tailgate lift truck (extra fees apply)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Because of the forklift requirement, delivery to the nearest depot is the default option and will be the method used unless you contact us to request otherwise.

Business Delivery:

• Business delivery is available for commercial customers only
• If you select business delivery and your products are bulky, it is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate equipment (including forklifts) to unload products from the delivery truck
• If you select business delivery and you are not a business, you risk your product not being delivered and may incur additional fees to retrieve your order
• Business delivery customers must provide a valid business address and contact information
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

Let us know your preference, and we'll arrange the best solution for you!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
