Squared Corten Steel Planters

Corten steel is a metal alloy consisting of iron, to which copper, phosphorus, silicon, nickel and chromium have been added. When exposed to the outside air, the material is covered with a protective layer of rust. This natural layer of rust forms the protection against further corrosion. This gives the planter a long lifespan.

Specifications:

• 5 year warranty.

• Corten steel planters are very strong, wear-resistant, weather-resistant, low-maintenance and durable.

• Including feet and drainage holes. This ensures that the planter floats a little above the ground (15 mm) and has optimal drainage.

• Standard material thickness of corten steel is 2 mm. Other material thicknesses are also possible.

• Customization is possible.

• Products are delivered unrusted. The rusting process of corten steel takes about 4-5 months, depending on the weather conditions.

• Rust can be fixed by applying Owatrol. This is a penetrating anti-rust agent that forms a protective layer against rust. Owatrol protects the planter and ensures that the corten steel no longer gives off.

Important points to note:

• Products should be unpacked immediately upon receipt, so that any moisture between the packaging and the product is not trapped. This can cause irregular rust spots.

• Ensure good drainage.

• Do not use an overflow pipe; no excess water may remain in the corten steel planter. The material can then rust through due to a combination of oxygen and soil.

• Do not use hydro grains: they retain moisture.

• We do not recommend using Corten steel within 2 km of a coastline.

• During the rusting process, rust water may come off the product.

• The warranty will be void if you drill or grind in a manner not prescribed.

PLANTING ADVICE:

• Provide the bottom with a layer of pebbles Ø35 mm sorting (approx. 10 cm).

• Place a water-permeable anti-root cloth over the pebbles.

• Cover the anti-root cloth with soil that is suitable for your type of planting.

• Do not use an overflow pipe; no water should remain in the corten steel planter.
