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) Once your planters are ready to dispatch, we'll contact you to arrange a convenient date for delivery. We offer free kerbside delivery every weekday. 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.
A sculptural planter that matures with time, designed to be admired today and treasured for years to come
New for 2026, the Rotunda Corten Steel Cylinder Planter with Feet is a refined evolution of our signature Scampston planter. This new design features three precisely positioned steel feet, elevating the planter by 90mm and creating a lighter, more architectural presence. The tri-footed base enhances stability while giving the planter a poised, sculptural quality that feels both modern and timeless. Its perfectly balanced circular form makes it ideal for domestic gardens, commercial landscapes, courtyards, patios, and balconies - even where space is limited.
Crafted from 2mm 100% genuine, certified Corten steel, the planter is designed to age beautifully. Over time, exposure to the elements encourages the development of a rich, autumnal patina, with warm hues of orange, red, and brown. This evolving surface not only gives each planter its own character but also forms a protective barrier that significantly extends the life of the steel. No two planters will ever develop the same finish, ensuring a truly individual piece for every setting.
Each Rotunda planter begins with precision laser-cut steel to ensure flawless consistency. Specialist computer-aided machinery is then used to form the perfect cylindrical shape before final fabrication is completed entirely by hand in the UK by our highly skilled craftsmen. Fully seam-welded corners and connecting sides are carefully smoothed, leaving no visible welds and creating a seamless, refined silhouette.
A hallmark of our craftsmanship is the double-folded return top lip, a feature that sets our planters apart. While many alternatives rely on a single fold or exposed steel edge, our double fold delivers a superior luxury finish. It enhances structural strength and rigidity, improves safety when planting, and creates a beautifully crisp edge that elevates the overall design.
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.
