For a movable fabric container
The fabric changes shape when filled. Measure the filled container to estimate your soil order; the size in the product name may not equal its filled capacity.

- Contained planter
Planning a balcony, deck or roof garden? Have the surface assessed for the filled weight before buying the planter. Its own load rating does not establish what the surface can carry. Work out the filled weight for whoever checks it.
Choose the size or layout
Use the widest outside footprint to plan paths. For a soil order, measure between the inside walls after assembly and choose your filled depth; advertised dimensions can be rounded. Rectangular sizes below read length × width × height.
Root Pouch doesn’t publish inside measurements or an outside size for these beds, so the soil figure below is the maker’s own stated capacity. If you’ll fill it less deep, measure between the inside walls once it’s built.

Prepare and assemble this bed
Compare the material, bottom and care choices if you are still deciding between families. Follow the site preparation and liner checklist for the supporting surface.
- Choose the exact configuration and lay out its parts. No frame assembly
- Prepare a stable, level position and confirm the outside footprint with working paths.
- Open the fabric container, inspect seams and place it before filling. Do not assume handles permit moving it full.
- Measure the finished inside and outside separately, then update your plan. Preserve the maker’s fill restrictions.
Mark the outside footprint on the ground before assembly, including any legs or protruding corners. Leave a route for carrying bags, reaching the plants and maintaining nearby beds.
The fabric changes shape as you fill it. A round-container calculation is an estimate; measure the filled diameter and depth rather than treating a trade size as an exact gallon measure.
