Product code: SQUARE
Durable steel planters in Cor-Ten or powder-coated galvanised steel in any RAL shade.
The Square series is designed to give a space something essential and lasting. The planters are made of machined, folded and welded sheet metal; thanks to their simple, elemental character they are easy to combine into groups, making them suitable for historic settings too. Square metal planters are highly durable and weather-resistant: they are made of galvanised steel with an anti-corrosion primer and oven-cured powder coating in any RAL shade, or of sandblasted Cor-Ten steel.

A bright RAL colour turns the planter into a feature of the space, while Cor-Ten blends warmly with wood and greenery. A round alternative is the Cilar Planter.
Concrete planters are heavy and stable, with a stone chip finish, so they also work as a natural barrier to traffic. Cor-Ten steel planters are much lighter, with modern shapes and a warm brownish tone, and go well with wood, concrete and greenery. Choose according to whether the planter needs to restrict traffic or mainly decorate the surroundings.
Concrete planters stand firmly without any fixings thanks to their weight. Cor-Ten planters are lighter, but they weigh much more when filled with soil. In locations exposed to wind, place tall, narrow planters on a level base, choose plants that are not too tall, or fix them to a wall.
Plants need drainage so that the roots do not stand in water. Put a layer of gravel at the bottom and a suitable growing medium on top. Cor-Ten planters have drainage holes in the bottom, so excess water drains away by itself.
A stable rust patina forms on the surface of Cor-Ten steel, protecting the metal and giving it a brownish tone. For the first few months, until the patina stabilises, the planter may leave brownish marks on light-coloured paving. So at first it is better to place it on darker surfacing or where such marks will not matter.
Yes, heavy concrete planters are often used to separate a pedestrian zone from the roadway and prevent cars from driving onto the pavement. Long planters are suitable for enclosing café terraces or small areas. This restricts traffic while also decorating the surroundings with greenery.
Concrete planters are heavy, so it is worth planning their location in advance – moving them later would be difficult. They are delivered and positioned with lifting equipment, and the largest models require a crane. The exact weight of each planter is stated in the product's technical data.
Yes. Concrete planters can be matched with concrete benches and waste bins in the same finish, while Cor-Ten planters go well with wooden equipment. Some planters belong to the same series as benches, so the space looks coherent.
