Broxwood Floating Corten Steel Cube Planters

All of our listed prices include delivery to mainland England and Wales addresses.

For customers located outside these areas, delivery will need to be quoted for before an order is processed. If an order is placed online and you live outside of this standard zone, we reserve the right to hold production until delivery surcharges have been agreed.

• Our smallest products under 60cm will be sent through the post.
• Our more popular, larger statement statement planters & water features are dispatched through a standard kerbside pallet service. 

You can read more about our pallet service on the Delivery Terms page.

Please note that some of the largest features within our metal ranges 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. 

As with everything we sell at Tom's Yard, if our standard delivery services do not meet your requirements - we offer a nationwide white-glove courier service (quoted for on request).

Our lead time on corten steel metal planters is 2 to 4 weeks, delivered. But if you require a shorter lead time due to planting dates, teams on-site etc... please contact us sales@tomsyard.co.uk and we will share your needs with the team. 

Whilst we cannot accommodate every request, please know that we'll always try.

Water Features and bespoke planters take 4 - 5 weeks due to additional steps in the production processes.

Simply apply for a trade account. Once approved, you'll be able to place orders through your online trade account.

Having worked worked with hundreds of businesses over the years, often with unique requirements, we know what it takes to get the job done. It's why to this day Thomas is still proud to put his name to the business he started at the age of 23.

Depending on the time of year your items arrive - it will take up to 12 months for the steel to develop its final rusted look & protective coat. But it could be as soon as 6 months if your conditions are just right!

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

Absolutely! 

As standard our Corten products are supplied in their raw state. But recently we have worked out the costs to cover what's involved in effectively ''pre-weathereing'' your corten products.

To make it super simple, there is a 10% surcharge to have an item pre-patinated prior to dispatch. i.e. so that it arrives as if it has already sat outside for 6 months.

So - for example - it would cost £76 to have an item worth £760 treated... £50 for an item worth £500... you get the idea!

Do note that it takes 3 coats of treatment, with a day drying between each coat for the process to be properly carried out. So if you would like us to treat your items, please be aware that it will add approximately a week to the lead-time of your order.

If our standard sizes aren't quite right for your space, don't worry. We're delighted to offer a bespoke service to meet 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 our Corten Range are made from a 2mm thick, structural-grade corten steel. Water features are upgraded to a thicker 3mm.

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 we can source a quotation.

In a normal residential setting - 2mm is perfectly fine - however you may consider upgrading if you are:-

• Near the coast
• Planning on using corten products in a commercial setting 

A heavier grade planter will last longer.

Maintenance

Corten steel requires no maintenance as the rusted patina it naturally forms acts as a protective barrier. 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.
