♻️ Why Choose Repurposed Steel?
These planters are made using leftover sheets from the roofing trade – materials that would otherwise go to waste. They're hand riveted, carefully filed, and built to be reused year after year. Each one may carry a small surface scratch or dent – a sign of its past life, not a flaw.
🌿 Planting Tips:
Line with pond liner, foil, gro-bags, to extend planter life
Add gardeners grit, moss, or leaves beneath soil to boost drainage and nutrients
Optional rubber edging can be glued or left loose – the sun will naturally shape it to the box over time
Additional holes can be added at home – just be sure to file and seal the edges
🎨 Finish Options:
Anthracite (Plastisol RAL 7016) – dark, textured leather grain coating
Slate Blue (Polyester BS 18B29) – smoother finish, sometimes arrives with protective film
These long rectangular planters are the perfect way to grow herbs, flowers or salad leaves without the hassle of digging or weeding. They’re a favourite among those looking for modern balcony planters, eco-friendly garden pots, and low-maintenance planting solutions.
Upgrade your window box game with a piece that's as practical as it is beautiful – made by hand, built to last, and designed to help your mini garden thrive.

Can you Gift Wrap my Order?
Absolutely we can, just select the Gift Wrap Service from the list of items for sale, and rest assured your item will be gift wrapped prior to despatch.
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.
