How do we make your Planter?

We laser cut the steel to ensure our design is precisely and consistently replicated for each item. Once the laser cutting is complete, we use specialist machinery to apply folds to the sheet steel. We complete the fabrication by hand using only the best, qualified fabricators who take immense pride in their work.

Each Rectangular Arden Trough Planter has a double folded return top lip feature. A lot of similar products on the market leave a steel edge, or a single fold. We have opted for a double fold for several reasons:

1. It’s a much higher quality, premium finish (It just looks so much better!)
2. It gives the trough unbelievable strength and rigidity, and
3. It’s safer for hands when planting.

The corners and connecting sides are fully seam welded and we take time and effort to smooth welds which provides amazing corner and edge detail. Once we’re finished you won’t know where the welds are! As they are handmade by our professional fabricators each trough is ever so slightly unique adding to the charm of this product.

How will my order arrive?

Large Planters arrive via pallet, small ones via parcel couriers – PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE CUSTOM MADE PLANTERS THAT TAKE 4 WEEKS TO BE DELIVERED.

Does the planter just sit on the ground?

No, all our planters come with fixed 15mm feet that are hidden underneath the planter. The feet keep the planter ever so slightly off the ground to give the effect that it is floating. Practically this also helps with drainage. We can make any of our planters bottomless so they can be installed directly on soil as a raised flower bed. We can also add adjustable heigh legs or castors to the bottom of your planter.

Can the Steel Trough Planter be used Indoors as well?

Yes! They are suitable for domestic, commercial, indoor, and outdoor use. The planters come with drainage holes as standard, if using indoors you may want to request that these are removed.

How do I maintain it?

Unlike wooden or plastic alternatives no maintenance is required at all! All you need to do is fill, plant and enjoy.
