Northcote Pottery - Med False Bottom U Pot

Bring sleek architectural presence and contemporary elegance to your outdoor living space with the refined Northcote Pottery Med False Bottom U Pot. Featuring a striking, slender silhouette and sophisticated textured finish, this versatile medium-format planter is expertly designed to elevate modern Australian courtyards, entryways, patios, and compact garden landscapes. Designed to make an architectural statement on its own or paired in matching arrangements to frame doorways and pathways, this pot adds instant polish to any prominent planting scheme.

Crafted to deliver the rich, solid appearance of heavy masonry or cast stone without the extreme structural weight, each pot is engineered from a high-performance, lightweight composite material.

Available in a curated palette of sophisticated tones—including Lava Beige, Lava Green, Lava Grey, and Lava White—the False Bottom U Pot integrates effortlessly into your existing outdoor décor, complementing exposed aggregate paving, timber decking, and lush green plantings.

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 4–12 weeks depending on the order—they are custom made to order in Pakenham, VIC.

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.
