Eliminate staining of weather-resistant steel flower POTS through thoughtful design
The look and style of the weather-resistant steel flower basin covered in a warm brown sheen is very popular.
While the patina on flowerpots is loved by almost everyone, many people do not want the rust to contaminate the stone or concrete on which the flowerpots stand.
When exposed to rain and moisture, the metal oxidizes and forms a protective patina. During this oxidation process, rust particles are brought to the surface of the grower.
When using weather-resistant steel flower POTS, the best way to eliminate rust is to design the installation of the POTS so that rust does not run onto the concrete, paver or patio stone.
The planter is placed directly on the base, and the concrete paver is placed on the side of the planter, leaving a gap between the paver and the planter. Rust runs off to the ground floor and does not come into contact with the concrete paver.

Here, a drain disk is used to contain rust from the Cotten planter. In installations where POTS are exposed to rain, additional facilities should be provided to direct water from the tray through a drain hose.
