Crafted from the finest 16 gauge American Steel, our Large Edge Planter will be the perfect addition to any indoor or outdoor decor.
Corten Steel is also known as weathering steel. The surface of Corten will develop an ever-changing and unique patina where a dense layer of iron oxide essentially penetrates the steel and slows the corrosion process. The patina (or rust) acts as a protective barrier. Weathering steel has a reactive period from 3 to 9 months depending on location and climate. Created for outdoor use, all of our planters are frost and heat-resistant, and they all contain drainage holes. Our planters come fully assembled and are covered by a five-year structural warranty.
Weathering steel products may produce carbon run off or staining to adjacent materials like stone or concrete. The stone and concrete can be cleaned with a carbon pacifier to remove any residual run off. After the initial reactive period, weathering steel will cure and self-seal with very little to no carbon run off. The patination process occurs when water is introduced to the material. Our planters come fully assembled and are covered by a five-year structural warranty.
Please note that all of our planters are shipped in their raw state. During the patina process, there may be some run-off as the patina develops. During this time, we recommend that you do not keep the planters on any finished surface, particularly those lighter in color. Once the patina process is complete (approximately 3-9 months), the run off will be very minimal and you can place the planter on virtually any surface.
