Corten Steel Planters

Add timeless character to your outdoor spaces with corten steel planters—where industrial charm meets modern design. These striking planters develop a distinctive rust-like patina over time, creating a weathered finish that blends seamlessly with both urban rooftops and country gardens.

Whether you're designing a sleek patio, framing an entryway, or softening the edge of a minimalist courtyard, corten steel planters are built to last and impress.

Made from a weathering steel alloy, they are engineered to withstand the elements without corroding through. Instead, they gain a protective outer layer that deepens in color over time—going from raw steel to warm hues of orange, amber, and earthy brown. This aging process adds texture and visual interest, making every planter unique.

Perfect for both residential and commercial landscapes, these planters offer clean lines and architectural presence. Choose from rectangular troughs, cubes, or custom sizes to suit your project. Their weight and structure make them ideal for planting trees, shrubs, and perennials, and they pair beautifully with gravel, wood decking, or concrete surfaces.

Low maintenance and endlessly durable, corten steel planters are a sustainable investment in style and quality. They require no painting, resist cracking in extreme temperatures, and won’t blow over in windy spots.
