Tube Corten Planter
The TUBE corten steel garden planter is a modern cylindrical planter designed for private gardens, commercial areas, and outdoor projects. Inspired by classic terracotta pots, its curved shape adds a elegant look to patios, terraces, gardens, and public spaces. It works well for creating focal points or adding height with shrubs, grasses, or small trees.
Made from corten steel, the planter naturally forms a rust-like finish when exposed to the weather. This layer protects the steel underneath and gives a warm, earthy colour that blends well with plants and outdoor settings. It is strong, long-lasting, and low maintenance for year-round use.

What is Corten Steel?
Corten Steel, also known as weather resistant steel, is a very strong steel alloy. As soon as Corten Steel garden planter is exposed to the elements it will naturally weather and develop a protective layer of rust. This natural coating of rust provides protection against further corrosion. Our Corten Steel products are delivered in an un-rusted state and the weathering process will take about 4-5 months to complete.
If you simply cannot wait, use our rust accelerator.

Advantages
- 5-year guarantee.
- Corten steel planters are very robust, hard-wearing, weatherproof, low-maintenance and durable.
- The planter has hidden feet (17 mm) and drainage holes, which allows it to float a little above the ground and provides optimal drainage.
- The corten steel has a standard thickness of 3 mm.
- Products are delivered without rust. The corten steel rusting process takes about 4-5 months, depending on weather conditions.
- The rust can be fixed by applying Owatrol. This is a penetrating rust inhibitor that forms a protective anti-rust coating. Owatrol protects the planter and stops the rust on corten steel flaking off.
Important Info
- Products are delivered un-rusted
- Products should be unpacked immediately upon receipt to release any moisture trapped inside the packaging. If the product is left in its packaging, it may develop uneven rust patches.
- Ensure proper drainage.
- Do not use an overflow pipe; no excess water should remain in the corten steel planter. This can cause the metal to corrode due to the interaction of oxygen and soil.
- Do not use hydro pellets: they retain moisture.
- We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline.
- The guarantee expires if you drill or grind in a way that is not specified.
- The weathering process may cause rust run-off.
Planting Advice
- Cover the bottom of the planter with a layer of gravel (approx. 10 cm, Ø35 mm grading).
- Place a permeable anti-root membrane over the gravel.
- Cover the membrane with soil suitable for your chosen plants.
- Do not use an overflow pipe; no water should remain in the corten steel planter.
