Quality Design & Craftsmanship
At PlanterCraft, our premium planters are made from heavy-duty 11-gauge steel (about 1/8” thick) with a clean, fully welded finish—built to last and look great indoors or out.
Built as a single, fully welded piece with no seams or visible edges - clean, high-end look with serious strength and durability. Corten Steel planters are stitch welded.
Adds stiffness so the walls stay straight and don’t flex over time, and it also works as a discreet built-in grip for easier lifting.
Built-in drainage holes prevent water accumulation, promoting healthy root growth and preventing overwatering.
Raises the planter slightly off the ground so water doesn’t sit underneath it. That helps it dry out faster and keeps the base from staying constantly wet.

Not all steel planters are created equal.
The higher the gauge number, the thinner the metal.
While others use thin 14 or 16-gauge sheets that warp and buckle under pressure, we build exclusively with 11-gauge steel. It's the difference between a temporary container and a permanent architectural landmark.
Standard thin-gauge steel used by most manufacturers.
