As imposing as the ‘black tower’ planter might sound, the glossy finish on this planter makes it extremely modern and appealing. These planters were initially designed with the intention of supplying large commercial projects, however we are now offering these to retail customers as well. As they were designed for these larger developments, like luxury hotels and office complexes, they are made to a high standard of quality than the kind of planters you might find at you local garden centre. These are professional supplies for developers, made from light weight fibreglass, a smart material. Unlike traditional manufacturing materials like stone/concrete or heavy metals such as lead, fibreglass is much lighter and even some of our largest planters can be moved or carried by a single person. This makes them quick and easy to install, or to reposition at a later date. Please bear in mind however, that the majority of the weight of these planters comes from the soil that fills them. So even though they are light weight when they are empty, as soon as the are planted up, they can become relatively immovable. This is an advantage as it means they are unlikely to fall over or to be shifted by even the strongest winds. These fibreglass tower planters are not only available in glossy black, but in matte or glossy, black white and grey variants. These have all been made with what we call ‘design neutrality’ in mind. That means that we have specifically picked colours that are unlikely to clash with anything else you may have place or installed in your garden or outdoor space. In addition to this, they do not come finished with any patterns that could conflict, rather, they are finished in block colours for absolute flexibility. In terms of placement, these planters are ideal for flanking door ways or garden paths Alternatively, in larger developments, place them at intervals along walls to add structure, depth and height. When planted up with tall shrubs like lollipop bay trees, they form make-shift, semi natural columns. In the modern day, creating the right atmosphere for business or relaxation depends heavily on building a clean, natural and aesthetically pleasing environment.

These glossy black trough planters are distinctly unlike any of the planters you will find at your local garden centre or home improvement supplier. These planters have been designed as part of our range of sleek modern fibreglass planters as a high quality solution for large scale commercial projects. Although these have been designed to furnish luxury hotels or contemporary office complexes, we have decided to make these available to retail customers as well – so you can have the high quality of a commercial development inside your garden or outdoor space. Rather than constructing these out of more traditional materials, these glossy black fibreglass troughs have been made out of light weight fibreglass – a smart material. Unlike more traditional materials, fibreglass tends to be far lighter comparatively, although when filled with soil these will still be heavy enough to hold their position. With this in mind, they are easy to install and if you find that you would like to move them to another position later on, it is easy to do so. As these are troughs, they are ideal for adding a degree of structure to your garden. You have the potential to use them to create low walls or barriers to border paths. Like the similar divider planters (which are taller), these are ideally suited to planting bamboos for screening or other perennials or shrubs. Against the glossy black base that this planter provides, most colours will fit smoothly. These have been made with design neutrality in mind. This means that whether you order the matte or glossy finishes, or whether you order the white, black or grey variants – they shouldn’t clash with another of the other garden features that you may have installed in your outdoor space. Although they will make an acceptable fit within traditional or rustic design schemes because of their ‘design neutrality’, where these glossy black troughs will really shine – is in contemporary design plans. They have sleek straight lines and solid colours – making them ideal for adding structure to your home or garden. Order these fantastic troughs from Flora Select today and invite a little of their modern magic into your home.

The glossy white fibreglass planter is part of our contemporary fibreglass planters range. The material for these planters has been selected specifically for the particular qualities it has that makes it not only a viable, but a superior modern building material. Our fibreglass is Ultra violet and weather resistant, which makes it ideal for a product that will likely spend a lot of it’s life exposed to the natural elements. In addition to this, fibreglass is easily manufactured in a variety of shapes and colours with relative ease – which is why our fibreglass category is the largest and most varied on the website. The planters in particular are manufactured in glossy white, this makes the fairly neutral in terms of colour scheme and they should fit seamlessly with the majority of designs. That said however, they are distinctly contemporary in appearance and they may look somewhat out of place alongside more traditional garden elements or more rustic building features. The exception to this might be where an old or even a stately home has been redecorated in a modern or minimalist design. White is a clean colour, and promotes a neat and tidy atmosphere. Another reason fibreglass is ideal as a manufacturing material is that it is extremely light when compared to the building materials that it imitates, like stone or lead. These planters will be easy to place or re-position should you wish, and yet they will maintain the appearance of something a lot more robust. With that in mind however, it should be noted that when these planters are filled up with soil, they become very heavy indeed, as any planter would. As for the shape of these planters, they have been designed as a trough. This makes them ideal for bordering outdoor space, creating artificially raised flowerbeds in man-made areas. When planting up a trough, you will also have the opportunity to create a natural wall for increased privacy. You can do this by planting them up with bamboo or likewise other tall plants that would obstruct the vision of anyone looking to invade your privacy. Creating these ‘natural barriers’ is not only a great idea if you want to improve your privacy without building a wall; You can use natural barriers to create structure within your garden or outdoor space. If you have a particularly large garden, or one that is oddly elongated or wide, you can essentially split it into multiple outdoor rooms, that are easier to then theme, design and manage. Buy this glossy white fibreglass trough planter from Flora Select now and you will be making a prudent choice.

Corten Steel Pond FAQs

What is Corten steel?

Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is a high-strength alloy made primarily from iron, with added copper, chromium, and nickel.  Our Jumeirah Corten steel ponds are crafted from premium industrial-grade Corten steel sheets, designed to deliver superior strength and long-lasting durability. This material begins its life as a blue-grey colour, gradually developing a bright orange-brown patina as it weathers. Although it may look like rust, this oxidised layer is a natural protective coating that prevents further corrosion and gives the pond a striking, industrial aesthetic that evolves beautifully over time.

How will my Corten steel pond weather?

Your Corten steel pond will typically arrive in a raw, blue-grey state and will gradually change to a textured burnt-orange hue as it weathers with exposure to the elements. The speed of this process depends on the climate, but most items are fully weathered within 9 months. Here’s what to expect:
  1. In most cases, your Corten steel pond will arrive un-rusted. It may have a slight patina or dark oily residue, which is completely normal. 
  2. As weathering begins, the residue breaks down and the rusty colour will gradually start to appear. During this time, any run-off may stain stone or concrete surfaces, so choose your pond’s position with care.
  3. After weathering (around 6-9 months), your metal pond should be almost entirely rust-coloured. Run-off may still occur but it will be minimal.
Please note: Corten products can arrive at any stage of weathering. We cannot guarantee what level they will be or even if multiple items ordered at the same time will all be at the same level. Unweathered areas of your pond will be the colour of freshly manufactured steel, with a dark oily coating. Be aware that run-off during the weathering period may stain nearby surfaces, although most staining can be removed by using specialist rust-removing cleaning products. Run-off may still occur for several months after the uniform rust colour has been achieved

Can Corten steel be used as a pond?

Yes. When properly lined, Corten steel is a fantastic material for ponds. It offers both durability and aesthetics, making it a practical yet stylish choice for any garden. To ensure the Corten steel weathers properly and to prevent residue, we recommend using a neutralising water supplement if your pond water isn't pH neutral. Regularly check your water's pH levels to maintain the steel's appearance and weathering process.

Is Corten steel safe for fish?

Yes, our Jumeirah Corten steel pond is fully lined with a polyurea waterproof barrier that prevents any direct contact between the steel and water. This non-toxic coating makes it safe for fish and other aquatic life, as well as plants and garden wildlife.

How do you waterproof Corten steel?

Our Corten ponds are fully lined with polyurea, which is sprayed on the inside and allowed to set. This is a professional-grade coating that creates a waterproof barrier to ensure a watertight, secure interior that’s also non-toxic and safe for animals and plants. That means there’s no need for additional waterproof treatments, sealing or pond liners.  On the outside, Corten steel is naturally weatherproof and resistant to rain, frost, and the elements, offering a long-lasting and low-maintenance finish that evolves beautifully over time.

Do you need to seal Corten steel?

No sealing is required on our Jumeirah Corten steel pond. The outer surface develops its own protective layer as it rusts, while the interior polyurea coating keeps the water securely contained.

Can Corten steel hold water?

Absolutely. When lined with the proper coating, Corten steel holds water effectively, making it an ideal material for stylish and secure garden ponds. Our Corten steel pond containers are built for purpose and are fully waterproof and watertight for your peace of mind.

How do I make a Corten steel container pond?

Start with a high-quality, fully lined and waterproof Corten steel pond container like the Jumeirah. Choose a level, sunny location that receives plenty of natural light, ideally away from overhanging trees to reduce falling debris. Begin by adding a base layer of clean gravel or pond substrate to support aquatic plants and provide a natural environment for fish and other wildlife. Next, arrange a variety of aquatic plants such as oxygenators, floaters, and marginals to promote water clarity, oxygenation, and visual interest. If you plan to add fish, ensure the water is conditioned properly and introduce them gradually. To elevate the design, consider incorporating solar-powered fountains, LED lighting, or decorative water features that complement the pond’s industrial yet natural aesthetic. Regular maintenance, such as topping up water levels, removing excess algae, and cleaning filters (if used), will help keep your Corten steel pond looking beautiful and functioning perfectly all year round.

How do I keep Corten steel pond water clear?

You can use pond filters, aquatic plants, and regular maintenance to keep your water clear. Skim debris regularly and test water quality if housing fish.

Does Corten steel leach into water?

Our Corten steel pond containers are fully lined with a professional-grade, non-toxic polyurea coating that creates a completely waterproof and watertight barrier. This means there's no risk of leaching into the water, making them completely safe for fish, aquatic plants, and other wildlife.  However, other unlined Corten ponds on the market can pose this risk, and may leach into water over time.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Matte black is probably the most subtle and least intrusive finish we have in our entire range. As such this matte black fibreglass barrier planter is probably the item we sell with more utility than any other. Trough planters are often meaningfully used with tall plants like bamboo to create natural barriers in their gardens or outdoor spaces. This ‘barrier’ or divider planter is a trough that has been made taller explicitly for this purpose. Double the height of a normal trough, it is far easier and much faster to create a natural wall than it would be with your average trough. The reality of modern living is that if we find ourselves in homes that have any outdoor space, they are far from private and tranquil. We wouldn’t tolerate living in houses with only glass walls to separate us from our neighbours, so why do we tolerate it in our gardens? Further to this, unlike a wall or a fence, a garden planter is a non-permanent and non-offensive way of creating a screen. However, these ‘natural walls’ are not only suited to ensuring your privacy but the can also be used elsewhere in your garden to create structure or sustain meaningful divisions. This is particularly important in very large gardens or garden spaces that are oddly wide or elongated. In these gardens, by installing natural walls or screen, it divides the space you have available to you into distinct outdoor rooms that you can then style and levy your designs upon. The matte black finish is perhaps the most suitable to creating a natural barrier, as it blends the most subtly with the greenery or foliage of the natural world around it. Fibreglass as a material has proved to be a particularly useful material to make garden planters from in comparison with more traditional manufacturing materials. When compared to materials like lead or terracotta (Two extremely popular materials to build planters from in epochs passed), the advantages of fibreglass are unquestionable. Far easier to carry than lead and more robust and durable than terracotta. Fibreglass can also be made to accurately imitate any other materials. So making planters of faux lead or faux terracotta is a more practical and often far cheaper option than purchasing planters made of traditional materials. These planters however, are not made to imitate anything at all and really show off what can be done with fibreglass made to reflect its own merits. Resistant to the adverse effects of the weather, while being ultra violet resistant (prevents bleaching) – fibreglass is a smart material in its own right. The most versatile of the finishes we have, this Matte Black Fibreglass Barrier Planter would really be at home in any combination of contemporary or traditional designs. While the white or glossy finishes might be more at odds with traditional designs or architectural installments, matte black should seamlessly blend with any features you have already in place, whether wood, steel or stone. Given that we have had requests in the past for planters like this for use on larger developments, these planters have been constructed to a commercial standard. For this reason they are suitable for use in public environs like large scale hotel, office or luxury residential developments.
