The square shape creates a powerful and balanced look in your garden or on your patio. The natural rust color develops gradually and gives your outdoor space a warm, timeless look that suits both modern and classic garden styles.
Made for long-term outdoor use
High-quality Class A Corten steel
This planter is made from Class A Corten steel. This material is known for its exceptional strength and weather resistance. You can leave the planter outside all year round without worrying about frost, rain, or UV rays. The natural rusting process forms a protective layer that inhibits further corrosion, something that is often lacking in thinner or inferior grades.
Belgian manufacturing with a focus on quality
This model is manufactured in Belgium. That means short supply chains, controlled production, and attention to detail. No mass production where tolerances and welds vary from piece to piece, but consistent quality that you can see and feel. You’ll really notice the difference after a few years of use.
With or without a bottom: how to make the right choice
You choose a Corten steel planter without a bottom when you place it directly on the ground. Roots can then grow freely, and excess water drains away naturally. This is ideal for borders and gardens where plants have the space to develop naturally.
A version with a bottom is the right choice for patios, paved areas, and rooftop terraces. Thanks to the integrated drainage holes, water is drained in a controlled manner, keeping the ground protected. This prevents moisture problems that often only become apparent later with less well-designed constructions.
Models with legs: versatile and practical
Certain versions are available with legs. These are particularly convenient because they are easier to move. This is especially true in commercial and public settings where planters are used temporarily, for example as a natural divider or visual barrier.
Well-designed construction for stability
The top edge is folded over 50 mm for extra strength and a sleek finish. On the inside, reinforcing ribs ensure structural stability, even with heavy plants or larger sizes. This prevents warping and sagging, a common issue with other Corten steel planters.
Natural rusting process with minimal maintenance
The planter is delivered unrusted and develops its characteristic rust color within 6 to 12 months. If you want to speed up this process, you can use a rust accelerator. Once the desired color is achieved, a rust fixative is recommended to limit rust water and keep the surroundings clean. (see smart combinations for the rust accelerator and rust fixer)
Planting advice per model
Without soil
Place the Corten steel planter directly on the ground. Apply a layer of gravel approximately 10 cm thick and cover it with a moisture-permeable anti-root fabric that extends at least 10 cm up the sides. Fill the Corten steel planter with a loose soil mix. Excess water can drain freely; tamping is not necessary.
With a base
Place a drainage layer of approximately 10 cm of gravel on the bottom and cover it with an anti-root fabric that extends up along the edges. Fill the Corten steel planter with an airy growing medium. The drainage holes ensure controlled drainage and prevent water accumulation.
Peace of mind with your purchase
You receive a 2-year warranty and a 90-day return window. This allows you to confidently choose a Corten steel planter that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also technically sound and designed for years of trouble-free use.
