Why steel for planters and edging?

Steel gives a slim, crisp line that concrete and stone cannot match. Thin steel walls leave more room for soil, and planters can be made to any length, height and shape. Steel edging keeps lawns, gravel and planting beds separate with an almost invisible line.

Designing steel planters

  • Drainage: every planter needs drain holes or a planter drain, a drainage layer and filter fabric.
  • Heat: steel heats up in the UAE sun. Line the inside of planters for sensitive plants, or choose lighter colours.
  • Corten staining: the rust patina can run onto light paving at first. Seal the paving, or keep a gravel strip around the planter.
  • Weight on podiums: check the planter positions with the structural engineer.

Steel or GRP planters?

Steel gives slim walls and sharp edges. GRP is lighter and moulded in any shape and colour. See our GRP Planter Boxes and the GRP vs concrete planters guide.

Frequently asked questions

Will Corten steel rust through?
Corten forms a stable rust layer that protects the steel underneath. Keep it drained, so water does not sit against it.
Can planters be made to our design?
Yes. Sizes, heights and shapes are made to your drawings.
Can steel edging follow curves?
Yes. Edging can be curved to your layout.
Do steel planters get hot?
Yes, in direct sun. Use a liner, or choose a lighter finish.
Do you also supply GRP planters?
Yes. See our GRP planter boxes.
Do you deliver outside Dubai?
Yes, across the UAE and to GCC projects.
