Corten Steel Planters

Styles of Corten Planters

When shopping for a new rusted planter, it’s key to find the right style for your garden. With our optional extras and a range of corten steel planters in various shapes like circular or cube, and sizes from 50cm to extra large 3mm options, you can tailor your selection to your space. Here are the styles and features of corten steel to consider:

• Shape. Choose from cube, trough, circle, tower, bowls and more to perfectly suit your garden design. 
• Size. Choose a suitable size that corresponds to the floor or container space you’re designing for. Sizes start from a compact 37cm by 37cm up to a more extensive 200cm by 200cm.
• Edge. Opt for straight edges or a curved-type in column and drum planters. Rounded edges are a great choice for residential and commercial projects to avoid public injury.
• Feet. Adding feet to corten steel garden planters can raise the planter and give a secondary dimension and added height to your design. This also aids in effective drainage, allowing water to flow freely away from the base.

The range of designs in the corten steel planter collection includes our selection of more artistic designs from brands like Atlas and Cado, which will instantly transform any space.

Where to use Corten Planters

Choosing the perfect location to position corten steel planters can help with a beautiful garden design. The shape or size, and the style, should all be taken into consideration for the placement of these steel plant pots. Multiple corten steel planters can create a flow of rusted steel throughout your garden, giving your garden a new look. Pair this with corten steel garden edging for a seamless, lush design. Tall, narrow corten steel planters can flank doorways, while trough planters can serve as suitable vegetable beds for shrub and tree planting.

What is Corten Steel?

Corten steel is a weathering steel alloy made mainly from iron with small amounts of carbon and other elements like copper. This composition provides superior weather-resistance, which is why corten steel planters are so durable and long-lasting. The weather-resistance comes from the formation of a rusted outer layer that protects the steel, giving it a gorgeous orange hue.

Corten planters are incredibly strong yet fairly lightweight, as you only need a thin gauge of metal to provide a huge amount of structural solidity. This makes them a great, long lasting and sturdy feature for any space.
