Every Corten steel plant pot is guaranteed to withstand the elements, especially when compared to wood, plastic, fiberglass and concrete beds. While they may cost more than some materials, they are an excellent investment because they last longer – decades at least, although some weathering steels are 100 years old! Over time, plastic can seep into the soil and wood can deteriorate. Fiberglass does not have the same structural integrity. While wood is often the preferred raised bed material, it is currently more expensive than weathering steel over time because wood deteriorates faster than metal. That’s why those looking for a nice planter or loft bed might want to opt for a corten steel planter.
