About This Product

The Fairfield is a 20 in. square outdoor floor planter with a built-in self-watering reservoir that holds 1,120 oz. of water. It is molded from UV-resistant polyethylene in an espresso finish, with a double-wall design that insulates roots and slows moisture loss. The planter measures 20 in. H x 20 in. W x 20 in. D, weighs 13 lb., and holds 9.5 gal. (1.27 cu. ft.) of soil. It has a drainage hole and ships with a fill port plug, and no assembly is required. Covered by a 15-year residential warranty (5-year commercial). ## At 20 in. square, it suits a porch or covered patio where a single floor planter needs to sit beside a door without blocking the walkway. The 9.5 gal. soil capacity is enough for a large tropical houseplant, an ornamental grass, or a compact shrub. The 1,120 oz. reservoir also helps if you are away from home for several days at a time and cannot water on a daily schedule. ##

    Answer This Question

    Drilling another hole compromises the reservoir and voids the warranty unfortunately.

          On average, how often does the reservoir need to be refilled during a hot week in the summer?
          ByJun 5, 2026
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Its very dependent on the plant, I would say around 1-2 weeks during a high heat summer but the best way to figure it out is to do some tests. See how fast it gets dry and you'll be able to determine how long you can take between filling!

              I live in a windy area. Any tips for stabilizing this outdoors?
              ByMay 21, 2025
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Hello! For use in a windy area, we would recommend filling your planter with water (Essentially utilizing the self watering system) and/or using a thin layer of a heavier filler such as pea gravel.

                You have to drill a hole on the top edge or back, according to the manufacturer’s website.

                By|Apr 4, 2026

                  You will fill the water reservoir through the filport hole!

                    Great Planters/Poor Quality Control
                    The planters are very pretty and seem sturdy. I expect they will be durable, even in our hot AZ summers. Two of the five however had less than half the holes drilled in the interior base and the same two had warped exterior edges. Had to drill holes in the two, and fortunately was able to hide the warped sections as they are up against a wall. 5 stars out of 5 for the three that were in good shape, but quality control missed the boat on two. The planters must hold a ton of water. Before filling with potting soil I tried to fill enough to see how much it would take for water to come out the side drains, and got tired before that happened. They do seem to be water tight though, because three are sitting on concrete and no water leaked out the sides or bottom as I was filling them. I don't know about the self watering part yet. I just put six pack annuals in them with roots still shallow and I wouldn't expect the water to leach up to them yet.

                      DO NOT RECOMMEND TO PURCHASE IT FOR PLANTING PLANTS IN IT.
                      Bough it in April with the main goal of avoiding a mess. Unfortunately got even more mess than a regular planter with saucer underneath. Water is sipping through somewhere before even reaching an overflow drainage whole. The area around planter looks extremely messy, as you can clearly see from the pictures. Bought two of them and both have the same problem. Even if company sends a replacement, can you imagine emptying this huge planter, removing plants, filling up a replacement planter, replanting plants for a great chance only to find out that a replacement planter will do the same. DO NOT RECOMMEND TO PURCHASE IT FOR PLANTING PLANTS IN IT. Maybe they can be used for some decorative or construction projects, not involving watering whatsoever.

                      Response from Mayne Product ExpertJun 12, 2026
                      Hi, thanks for the detailed review and the photos, and I'm sorry the planters have been a headache rather than the easy fix you were after.

                      I hear your concern about going through the whole replant only to land in the same spot. So here's what we can do: before we send anything out, we'll inspect the replacement and water-test it ourselves to confirm it's holding properly, so you're not gambling on another unit. We'd rather catch a problem here than have you discover it after replanting.

                      If you'd like us to set that up, reach out to customerservice@gomayne.com with your order number and the photos from your review and we'll take it from there. Happy to help whenever you're ready.

                        Sturdy planter for my cherry tomatoes that I cannot overwater or drown the roots, it is an excellent size for my tomatoes. I plan to buy a few more.

                        We have had two Mayne Fairfield 20" Square Self-Watering Black Planters for a few months on either side of our front door, and we are very pleased with them. They are attractive, very sturdy, and arrived in good condition. Although there was very little "assembling," the instructions about the reservoir system were a bit confusing. Given the size of these planters, they are very heavy when "planted and watered," so having a flat dolly under them would be advisable if they are going to be moved or rotated after they are filled.

                        Love this planter! The watering system seems to be working well, and the small hole near the bottom of the planter releases excess water as advertised. I’ve had it for about a month, and. I would definitely buy it again.

                        Excellent planters!
                        These planters appear to be great quality - sturdy, but surprisingly lightweight. I am looking forward to seeing how the self-watering feature works They look very nice on the front doorstep
