Bespoke Planters

Custom-made planters in Corten Steel, Powder Coated Galvanised Steel or Aluminium

Looking for something truly unique to elevate your outdoor space? Our bespoke metal planters are made to order and available in three premium materials – Corten Steel, Powder Coated Galvanised Steel, and Powder Coated Aluminium.

Whether you’re creating a single statement piece or need a coordinated set for a larger landscaping project, we can produce planters in virtually any size or shape, with or without a base (complete with drainage holes if required).

Each material offers its own distinctive look and benefits, ensuring the perfect fit for your garden, terrace, or commercial space.

Corten Steel Planters

Bring an industrial, designer edge to your outdoor setting with bespoke Corten steel planters, crafted from 2mm thick Corten steel.
When new, they arrive with a silver finish that gradually transforms outdoors, developing a warm, rust-toned patina that’s totally unique to each piece. This natural weathering process forms a protective surface layer, making the steel both durable and low-maintenance — it only gets better with age.

Key features:

• Made to order – bespoke sizes and designs available
• Crafted from durable 2mm Corten steel
• Choose with or without a base (drainage holes included if with base)
• Arrive silver and develop a self-protecting rust finish over time
• Weather-resistant, low-maintenance and long-lasting
• 100% recyclable and sustainable

Corten Weathering – What to Expect:
Corten planters may arrive at any stage of the weathering process, and colours may vary between batches. As the steel weathers, it transitions from silver to a deep orange brown patina over approximately 6 – 9 months, depending on conditions. During this time, run-off may stain nearby stone or concrete surfaces, so take care when placing your planter.

Powder Coated Galvanised Steel Planters

Our powder coated galvanised steel planters combine strength, style, and practicality. Crafted from robust galvanised steel and finished with a high-quality powder coating, they offer excellent corrosion resistance and a clean, modern appearance suitable for both residential and commercial spaces.

These planters are ideal for contemporary gardens, courtyards, and roof terraces where you want a durable, colourful, and maintenance-free finish.

Key features:

• Made to order – bespoke sizes and designs available
• Constructed from corrosion-resistant 2mm Galvanised steel
• Powder coated in your choice of colour
• Choose with or without a base (with drainage holes if required)
• Strong, durable and weather-resistant

Finishes and Maintenance:
The powder-coated finish provides a smooth, flawless surface that resists fading, chipping, and corrosion. Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth to keep your planter looking its best year after year.

Powder Coated Aluminium Planters

For a lightweight yet strong alternative, our bespoke aluminium planters are a perfect choice. Made from 3mm thick aluminium and powder coated as standard, they deliver a sleek, contemporary look that’s both elegant and durable.
Aluminium’s natural corrosion resistance, combined with its light weight, makes these planters especially suited to rooftops, terraces and modern garden designs.
