Yes! When you place an order for metal planters from PlanterCraft, you can select with or without drainage holes. We know that for real plants, having holes in the bottom of the planter is essential for allowing excess water to drain. This drainage option helps your plant grow healthy and decreases root rot risk.

Yes, we back most of our products with at least a one-year warranty. Unlike other types of planters, like plastic or fiberglass planters, metal ages well and is more long-lasting. Fiberglass and other materials don’t always have the same strength and durability as metal. That’s why you can count on metal planters from PlanterCraft to provide the container needed to keep your plants healthy for years to come.

We understand that sometimes you may need to cancel your order for whatever reason. We will take cancellations on a case-by-case basis and try to accommodate your request.

Simple projects and standard sizes have a turnaround time of approximately two weeks. For custom orders, factors that affect shipping time must be considered.

Yes, our aluminum products come with the option of selecting different powder-coated paint colors. We also offer custom color choices. Whether you’re looking for rustic bronze, sleek black, clean white, or something else, we can help you get the right color options for your plants’ home. Please contact us for a quote.

Powder coating is a process where finely ground particles of colored polyesters, acrylics, or polyurethane are given a positive electric charge. It is then dry-sprayed onto metal products, which have been given a negative charge. The positively charged color particles cling to the negatively charged metal. Once the desired thickness is achieved, the metal planter is quickly heated to melt and cure the powder to the metal.

Powder coating your metal planter allows the color to stay truer for longer compared to liquid paint, which needs to be touched up or repainted every few years. It also makes the planter more resistant to scratches, scuffs, and weather than liquid paint.

The complete rusting process of Corten Steel takes about three to 12 months to get that rich orange-brown color, depending on how much the planter is exposed to the elements. However, expediting the process with just a few household items, such as a spray bottle, hydrogen peroxide, white vinegar, and salt is possible.
