I. How to Choose a Garden Planter that Suits You?

 

1. Material Thickness of Metal Planter Boxes:

The thicker the corten steel plate, the stronger the load-bearing capacity of the flower pot and the longer its service life. For example: a 3mm thick Corten Steel Planter can easily carry more than 10 kg of soil and plants, while a 5mm thick one can withstand greater weight and is suitable for planting large potted plants. According to the survey, "3mm thick raised bed corten steel planters are suitable for planting small succulents and flowers, while 5mm thick ones are suitable for planting large foliage plants or small trees." Thicker steel plates mean thicker rust layer protection, which can better resist the erosion of bad weather and soil pH, and extend the service life of flower pots. And thicker outdoor metal plant stands are not easy to deform or crack, thus extending their service life. AHL corten steel planter supplier recommends: For long-term outdoor exposure environments, choose thicker rusted steel planter pots; for indoor or relatively mild environments, you can choose a slightly thinner outdoor corten steel planter.

2. Surface Treatment of Flower Pots:

 

• Brushed: The brushed process is like putting a delicate metal coat on the metal plant pots, and each texture tells the toughness and softness of the metal.
• Frosted: The frosted process makes the surface of the outdoor corten steel planter as delicate and smooth as a baby's skin, which contrasts with the surrounding green plants and creates a quiet and harmonious atmosphere.
• Polished: The polished process makes the surface of the outdoor metal plant stand shiny, like a mirror, reflecting the beauty of sunlight and flowers.

 

3.Corten Steel Planter Size Specifications:

 

• Choose according to plants: Different plants have different requirements for the size of raised bed corten steel planters. Choosing a flower pot of the right size can provide a good growth space for plants.
• Consider the placement space: According to the size of the placement space, choose metal planter boxes of the right size to avoid crowding or being too empty.
• Flower pot drainage design: Good drainage design is essential for flower pots. The number and distribution of drainage holes will affect the air permeability and anti-water accumulation performance of flower pots.

1. How to Maintain Weathering Steel Flower Pots?

The biggest feature of weathering steel flower pots is that they are highly weather-resistant and do not require frequent maintenance. However, in order to maintain their beauty and extend their service life, there are still some simple maintenance tips:

• Natural air drying: The rust layer of weathering steel flower pots is a naturally formed protective layer and does not need to be deliberately removed. After the rain, just let it dry naturally.
• Regular cleaning: Although weathering steel flower pots do not need to be cleaned frequently, if they are not cleaned for a long time, dust and dirt may accumulate on the surface of the flower pots, affecting their appearance. You can regularly use a soft brush to gently brush off the surface dust.
• Avoid long-term water accumulation: Although weathering steel is corrosion-resistant, long-term water accumulation will still affect the flower pots. Therefore, make sure that the drainage holes of the flower pots are unobstructed to avoid water accumulation.
• Avoid using chemical cleaners: Try to avoid using chemical cleaners to clean weathering steel flower pots to avoid damaging the rust layer formed on their surface.
