Galvanised Planters - Made Bespoke In The UK
2 products
Galvanised steel planters are a popular choice for modern gardens.
With their striking sharp lines and shining surfaces our elegant planter designs are an eye catching addition which fit perfectly with any planting scheme. Planters are constructed from high grade UK sourced galvanised steel sheets which gives the planters an extensive lifetime maintaining a brilliant shine over long periods if coated with oil based products (e.g. WD40) or left to mellow with a matte finish.
Our expert UK craftsmen hand craft our metal planters with outstanding quality.
The UK based workshop ensures a rapid and accurate build. Each planter is individually built to your exact specifications, this will allow the finished planters to fit into the exact space you require, for example a built-in planter for decking, around an alfresco dining space, for a restricted space such as roof terraces or balcony planting. All of our planters are made to order and as such we do not produce any standard sizes. A typical specification for our galvanised steel planters can be seen here.
We have over 25 years of experience selling galvanised planters and they are highly-sought after for garden designs and to add emphasis and focal points. A selection of demonstration planters can be viewed at our Planter Showroom in Cobham, Surrey.
