Product Description

Rectangular Rustic Steel Planter with Base & Drainage Holes

This Rectangular Planter is made from Rustic Steel and comes complete with a base with drainage holes, making it a great addition to any patio or rockery. As it is rustic steel, when exposed to the elements, the planter will develop a delightful rusted finish. It will not affect the durability or strength of the product, it will simply provide a beautiful, aged finish. It will arrive with just its bare metal finish so you will get to see this rusting process from the beginning.

The planter comes fully assembled so there is nothing that needs to be flat-packed on arrival. Just add soil, stones, plants or succulents, choose a new location for the planter and it is all set up without a single tool needed! You can line multiple planters up to create a lovely barrier in your garden, box in a seating area or even line the edge of a patio.

The base and drainage holes will allow water and excess liquid to run out of the planter naturally, with no chance of the planter becoming waterlogged.

Each planter is designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom at our premises in Norfolk. From the cutting to the welding, we do it all in-house. Each planter is made from 2mm thick mild steel, which ensures durability and strength, long into and beyond the rusting process.

Dimensions:

Height: 600mm
Width: 300mm
Length: 500mm

Please note:

Whilst we aim to deliver your Rustic Steel Planter rust-free so it will rust over time in front of you, some of our bare steel products may already show signs of rust when manufactured.
Due to the need for bespoke manufacturing, any rustic steel planters are subject to a 7 day maximum turnaround time due to the need for custom production - no Next-Day services are available for these.

Rusting Process Explained

At Indoor Outdoors we have many products which we describe as Rustic Steel. This refers to the fact that the item will rust over time to give it that lovely orangey-brown vintage look.

When your product arrives, it may have small patches of rust forming, but it will be in its bare, Mild Steel state. It will be a mostly grey-ish colour. Over time though, as the item is left outside and exposed to the elements, a rusty patina will form on the surface of the steel which gives it that lovely hue. This can take time though, and depends entirely on the outside conditions. Heavy rainfall and bad weather will help it rust faster.

You can speed the rusting process up though, some of our customers have recommended using vinegar, salt or lemon juice on the surface to get that rusty look a little sooner.

Rusting Process for Rustic Steel Products Explained

Want it to rust faster?

Depending on weather conditions, we say it can take anywhere from several weeks, to several months to fully rust. Jason, one of our customers has shared a special tip for achieving that lovely rusty outer in just 2 days!

You can pour equal parts of distilled vinegar and hydrogen peroxide into a spray bottle, along with a 1/4 of a standard cup of salt. Spray this mixture all over the product and it will cause an immediate reaction, rusting in just a matter of days!
