♻️ About the Material:
Crafted from industrial-grade roofing cladding that would otherwise go to waste, these planters give new life to strong, weatherproof metal. The Aztec Yellow finish is bright and contemporary, with a hard-wearing plastisol coating. Minor marks or character dents may be present due to its recycled nature – all part of its story.
🛠️ Tips & Care:
Line with pond liner, foil, or gro-bags to extend lifespan
Add drainage materials like grit, moss, or leaves before soil
Extra holes can be drilled (file sharp edges and seal with clear varnish or glue)
Sunlight may naturally mould the rubber trim over time
Each planter is a handcrafted original, built to last, made from repurposed materials, and designed with practical beauty in mind.

I would like Drainage Holes adding, is this possible?
I am not able to add drainage holes to the Planters or Window Boxes any longer, they aren’t really needed. Please do remember that the planters in most cases are only fixed on 1 base edge, and loose on the other 3 so drainage holes are unnecessary hence not offered as standard.
Custom and personalised orders
I can certainly do custom orders, please be aware however, the material may need to be ordered in especially so the price may be more than the planters in the shop, also I am not a robot so please allow a degree of tolerance with the measurements -/+5mm I do may best but sometimes the metal doesn’t play ball :)
Obviously, unless a serious error has been made, or damage in transit custom orders are non returnable.
