Manufactured in our workshop near Angers
Each planter is cut, bent and welded by hand in our workshop, near Angers.
We use Corten steel that is 2 or 3 mm thick depending on the dimensions of the planter, to guarantee a robust structure and perfectly rigid.
Each planter is manufactured made to measure and entirely welded: you receive it as a single block, ready to be installed in your garden or on your terrace.
A 37 mm flange is made on the top of the planter. This dimension can be modified upon request.
Three possible configurations
Without base — for planting directly in open ground
This configuration allows you to install the planter directly on your natural ground, so that plantings can develop in open ground.
Depending on the dimensions of the planter, reinforcements can be welded into the four corners to maintain good rigidity of the planter.
With base + adjustable feet
The planter rests on small adjustable feet approximately 2 cm high, which allow it to be raised slightly from the ground whilst remaining very discreet.
The base is pierced to allow water drainage and promote good drainage.
With base + 10 cm feet
For more height, you can choose square Corten steel feet of 10 cm. (The 10 cm are to be added to the height you will have chosen in the configurator.)
This configuration also allows sufficient space under the planter to be able to move it using a pallet truck.
As with the feet version, the base is pierced to allow water drainage.
Corten steel and its patina
Corten steel: a natural patina that evolves over time
Corten steel is specially designed for outdoor use. Exposed to air and humidity, it gradually develops a surface patina that gives it its characteristic hue whilst durably protecting the metal. Its lifespan is approximately 5 times longer than that of standard steel.
Each sheet evolves differently: the shades, veining and speed of patination can vary depending on its environment. Each planter thus becomes unique.
Unless you choose the “already rusted” option, your planter will be delivered with its raw appearance (dark grey). Its patina will then form naturally once installed outdoors.
The corrosion process of Corten steel extends over 2 years
From 1 to 3 months: Your planter becomes covered with a yellow/orange surface patina. Watch out for wooden and concrete terraces: during this phase, rust stains can mark your floor. To avoid this, you can choose the “already rusted” option.
From 3 to 6 months: The patina becomes darker and harder.
From 6 months to 1 year: The colour becomes uniform and the patina becomes very solid.
There are no more stains.
From 1 to 2 years: Your planter patinates until it achieves its final colour, a more or less dark brown. Each Corten sheet is unique, and so is its colour.
How to fill your planter?
For a planter with a bottom, we recommend proceeding in three steps:
- Place a layer of 5 to 10 cm of drainage gravel at the bottom of the trough to facilitate water drainage.
- Cover the gravel with a permeable geotextile to prevent soil from mixing with the drainage layer.
- Then fill the planter with potting soil or topsoil, depending on the planned plantings.
Since the bottom is perforated, excess water will be able to drain naturally.
