Manufactured in our workshop near Angers
Each planter is cut, folded and welded by hand in our workshop, near Angers.
We use Corten steel of different thickness depending on the size of the planter, to guarantee a robust and perfectly rigid structure.
If your planter weighs less than 100kg –> Corten steel thickness 2mm
If your planter weighs more than 100kg –> Corten steel thickness 3mm
Each planter is manufactured bespoke and entirely welded: you receive it in one single piece, ready to be installed in your garden or on your terrace.
A 37 mm rim is created on the top of the planter. This dimension can be modified upon request.
A designer base
To prevent your tub from being in direct contact with the ground, we add a designer support under the tub, you can choose the height of the support which is added to the height of the tub.
The base is perforated to allow water to drain away and promote good 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 moisture, it gradually develops a surface patina that gives it its characteristic colour whilst durably protecting the metal. Its lifespan is approximately 5 times longer than that of standard steel.
Each sheet evolves differently: the shades, the mottling and the speed of patina formation can vary depending on its environment. Each planter thus becomes unique.
Unless you choose the “already rusted” option, your planter will be delivered to you 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
1 to 3 months: Your planter develops a superficial yellow/orange patina. Be careful with wooden and concrete terraces: during this phase, rust streaks may stain your floor. To avoid this, you can choose the “already rusted” option.
3 to 6 months: The patina becomes darker and harder.
6 months to 1 year: The colour becomes uniform and the patina becomes very solid.
There are no more streaks.
1 to 2 years: Your planter develops its patina until it reaches its final colour, a more or less dark brown. Each Corten sheet is unique, and so is its colour.
How to fill your planter?
We recommend proceeding in three stages:
- Place a layer of 5 to 10 cm of draining 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 draining layer.
- Then fill the planter with potting soil or topsoil, depending on the plantings planned.
As the bottom is pierced, excess water will be able to drain naturally.
