Manufactured in our workshop near Angers
Every planter is cut, folded and welded by hand in our workshop, near Angers.
We use Corten steel that is 2 or 3 mm thick depending on the size of the planter, to guarantee a robust structure and perfectly rigid.
The planter rests on castors that allow it to be moved easily. The bottom is pierced to allow water to drain away and promote good drainage.
Each planter is manufactured bespoke and entirely welded: you receive it in a single piece, ready to be installed in your garden or on your terrace.
A 37 mm return is made on the top of the planter. This dimension can be modified on request.
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 hue whilst durably protecting the metal. Its lifespan is approximately 5 times longer than that of standard steel.
Each sheet evolves differently: the shades, mottling 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 to you in its raw state (dark grey). Its patina will then form naturally once installed outdoors.
The Corten steel corrosion process spans 2 years
1 to 3 months: Your planter is covered with a yellow/orange superficial 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 patinates 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?
For a planter with a bottom, we recommend proceeding in three steps:
- Place a layer of 5 to 10 cm of draining gravel at the bottom of the tub 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 planned plantings.
As the bottom is perforated, excess water will drain naturally.
