The Broxwood Corten Steel Trough Planters

All prices shown include delivery to mainland England and Wales addresses.

For customers located outside these areas, delivery is not included within the listed price and will be quoted separately before an order is processed.

Depending on the size and quantity of pieces ordered, delivery will be made either via a parcel courier network or a palletised freight service. Smaller planters and lower-volume orders are typically dispatched through standard courier services, whilst larger planters & water features and bulk orders will be delivered on a pallet to ensure they arrive safely.

Please note that some of the largest features within the range are substantial items. Customers should ensure that suitable access is available for delivery vehicles and that there is a clear route to the intended unloading point. Moving the goods once delivered is the customers responsibility.

Lead-Time

As standard, the lead time is approximately 2 to 4 weeks delivered. But if you require a shorter lead time, please contact me and I will share your needs with the workshop.

Once the workshop have finished your order, it will be dispatched directly to your home.

My Corten products are dispatched in a raw steel finish as standard.

It will take up to 12 months for the steel to develop its final rusted look & protective layer, but it could be as soon as 6 months if your garden's conditions are just right!

This process depends on factors such as weather, climate, your proximity to the coast (sea spray) etc...

If our standard sizes aren't quite right for your space, don't worry. We're delighted to offer a bespoke service, allowing our workshop to manufacture many of our products to your exact requirements.

Simply get in touch using the enquiry form on this page and let us know what you have in mind. The more information you can provide, the better we'll be able to advise and prepare a quotation tailored to your project.

As standard, planters supplied in the Corten Range are made from a 2mm thick, structural-grade steel. Water features are generally upgraded to a thicker 3mm.

However, depending on your intended use - if you would like to order an item made from a thicker, more substantial steel (up to 6mm thick), then please get in touch and I can source a quotation.

I would suggest upgrading the thickness if you are:-

• Planting anything heavy
• Located in a windy spot
• Are near the coast
• Planning on using these in a commercial setting

A heavier grade planter will always last longer.

Maintenance

Corten steel requires no maintenance as the rusted patina it naturally forms acts as a protective barrier meaning there’s no need for painting or sealing. Depending on the environmental exposure, Corten steel’s lifespan can exceed 50 years thanks to its self-protecting rust layer, which is why it’s ideal for outdoor applications.

Notes

During the natural weathering process, your piece may produce ‘runoff’ that could cause staining on the surface below. This risk is particularly high during the first three to six months of the weathering process. Keep an eye out if these needs washing off a new patio.

Please note that, once production has started, the workshop may not be able to accommodate changes to an order.

Once you have received your planter or water feature, please unpack it straight away. Planters left palletised or packaged may develop an uneven patina if exposed to moisture or rain.
