Arden Trough Planter with Feet – Mild Steel or Corten – Multiple Sizes

Arden – Corten Steel Trough Planter with Feet

Our Arden Corten steel trough planters, commonly known as rectangular Corten steel planters, are perfect for use anywhere from large-scale commercial landscape design to domestic gardens. Its unique 90mm feet elevate the planter off the ground, giving it a stylish and contemporary finish.

The Arden Corten steel trough planter is a popular choice for outdoor plantings, such as herbs, vegetables, and small trees. The rectangular shape and raised design of the planter make it ideal for creating a small garden or planting bed in a limited space, such as a patio or balcony.

Our planters are strong and robust items that can withstand exposure to the elements and, thanks to their durability, will not rust through or easily corrode. As such, the Arden Corten steel trough planter is designed to last for many years, even with regular use and exposure to harsh weather conditions. In fact, the planter gets better with age and will develop a unique orange and brown patina finish.

How do we make a Corten Trough Planter with Feet?

Firstly, we laser-cut the steel to ensure our design is precisely and consistently replicated for each item. Once the laser cutting is complete, we use specialist machinery to apply folds to the sheet steel.

We then complete the fabrication by hand using only the best, qualified fabricators who take immense pride in their work. Everything is proudly made in the UK and none of our products are imported from overseas.

Each trough has a double-folded return top lip feature. A lot of similar products on the market leave a steel edge or a single fold. We have opted for a double fold for several reasons:

1. It’s a much higher quality, premium finish (and it just looks so much better!)
2. It gives the trough unbelievable strength and rigidity
3. It’s safer for hands when planting

The corners and connecting sides are fully seam-welded and we take the time and effort to smooth welds which provide amazing corner and edge detail. Once we’re finished, you won’t even know where the welds are!

What is it made of?

All of our planters are made from 100% genuine, certified Corten steel. We make our rectangular Corten steel planters with feet from structural grade, 2mm thick steel as standard. Corten steel develops a unique and distinct patina when exposed to the elements. The patina is beautiful and protective. Any custom sizes can be produced in up to 6mm steel depending on the intended use.

How will my order arrive?

We have a trusted network of nationwide pallet and parcel couriers. Larger-sized planters or orders with larger quantities will arrive via a pallet courier, and smaller-sized orders will arrive via one of our parcel courier partners. All deliveries are fully tracked. Our current lead time is 3 to 4 weeks.

Can a Corten trough planter with feet be used indoors as well?

Yes! They are suitable for domestic, commercial, indoor, and outdoor use. The planters come with drainage holes as standard, but if using indoors you may want to request that these are removed.

How do I maintain it?

You don’t have to! Unlike wooden or plastic alternatives, no maintenance is required at all with our Corten steel trough planters. All you need to do is fill, plant, and enjoy.

Other things to note:

• Due to the natural weathering process, the ‘run-off’ from rainwater and watering may stain the surface the planter is placed upon during the first three to six months.
• We can deliver both un-weathered and pre-weathered trough planters.
• All dimensions are in millimetres and in Length x Width x Height format.
• Once production has started, we may not be able to accommodate requests or amends.
