FAQs
Q) Will my planters arrive rusty?
A) All planters are dispatched un-rusted. The rusting process will start as soon as you place them outside.
Q) How long will the planter take to rust?
A) This is dependant on the weather, but the natural process can take anywhere between 3 and 12 months.
Q) Do the the planters have drainage holes?
A) Yes, all planters have a minimal amount of drainage holes, which allows our customers to drill more if required.
Q) Do you make custom sized planters?
A) Yes! Just let us know what size you require and we'll send you a quotation.
Q) Will the planters stain my patio?
A) This is a possibility yes, although the invisible 15mm feet raise the planter off the ground to prevent direct contact. It's certainly not a problem we ever hear about.
Q)How does delivery work?
A) The haulier will contact you 48hrs before delivery, proposing a day for delivery which you can either accept or suggest an alternative. We offer free kerbside delivery on planters less than 2.1m in size. We prefer if customers are at home to take delivery, but you can also authorise a safe place for them to be left at the front of your property. For planters larger than this, the customer is responsible for unloading.
The open space beneath creates a feeling of air and light in the garden environment
The Botan Corten Steel Planter brings bold structure and natural warmth to any outdoor space. Crafted from premium Corten steel (also known as weathering steel), this contemporary planter develops a rich orange-brown patina as it naturally oxidises outdoors. The protective rust layer not only creates its distinctive industrial aesthetic but also strengthens the steel, ensuring exceptional durability in all weather conditions.
Designed for both style and performance, the Botan planter is raised on 173mm high feet to promote airflow and efficient drainage, helping plants thrive. Its robust construction makes it ideal for year-round use in gardens, patios, terraces and commercial landscapes.
Available in four standard sizes, this versatile Corten steel planter complements a wide range of design schemes, from modern urban and minimalist gardens to traditional outdoor settings. The evolving patina blends beautifully with greenery, natural stone, timber and contemporary architectural materials, creating a seamless and timeless finish.
Delivered in its raw steel state, the planter gradually develops its unique oxidised surface once exposed to the elements. The result is a long-lasting, low-maintenance planting solution that combines striking contemporary style with outstanding structural integrity.
A living finish
Steel that matures naturally over time
Delivered to you un-rusted, Corten steel naturally develops its rich, protective patina over 8 to 10 months. The result is a unique, warm finish that strengthens with time, maturing gracefully in your garden or outdoor space.
