What is a Steel Patina Planter?

Steel Patina Planters are made from mild steel which has a low carbon content, making it less brittle and more malleable than other types of steel. This makes it an ideal material for planters as it can be easily moulded into different shapes and sizes. The patina finish on these planters is achieved by exposing the mild steel to the elements, causing it to oxidize and form a protective layer of rust. This layer not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of the planter but also protects it from further corrosion. Steel Patina Planters come in a variety of shapes and sizes, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It develops a dark orange patina over about 9-12 months, giving it a rustic, industrial appearance.

The benefits of using mild steel for planters

Using mild steel for outdoor planters has several benefits. Firstly, it is a durable material that can withstand harsh weather conditions, making it suitable for outdoor use.  Mild steel is also relatively affordable material, in comparison to it’s alternative, Corten steel. Furthermore, mild steel can be easily manipulated into different shapes and sizes, allowing for a wide variety of design possibilities. These benefits make mild steel an excellent choice for those looking to add a touch of character and sophistication to their space.
