What customers say
Two 48-inch troughs either side of the garage door. The gauge is the whole story — they sit dead flat with no ripple, and the patina came in evenly over about eight weeks.
I've bought cheap corten before and watched it dent when the soil went in wet. These didn't move. The hemmed rim is a real detail you notice every time you brush past it.
Ordered on a Monday, delivered the following Tuesday on a pallet, strapped and corner-protected. Zero damage. Went straight onto the terrace.
Beautiful piece. One star off only because the early run-off marked my pale pavers before I read the patina note — set it on gravel for the first month and you're fine.
The false bottom in the tall planter is smart. Half the soil, half the weight, and the olive drains properly. A pair flanking the front door, exactly the look from the site.
I do landscape installs and this is the first edging I've used that doesn't kink when you drive the stakes. 14 gauge is heavy enough to hold a curve. Ordered three more packs.
The two-planters-get-edging offer is what got me over the line. The edging showed up in the cart on its own, the discount applied at checkout, and the patina on all three pieces matched.
Asked for sizing help and got an actual answer within the hour about which trough would fit under my window. That's rare.
Welds are ground smooth inside the corners and the drainage holes are where they should be. Someone thought about this.
It's a $300 steel box and it's the best-looking thing on my patio. Eight months in, the colour has settled into that deep russet. Zero maintenance.
Our landscape architect specified these by name. Arrived a day early, heavier than I expected, and it has not moved an inch through two winters of freeze and thaw.
Bought one to test, came back for three more. The proportions are a true cube, which cheaper ones never get right, and they line up perfectly along the fence.
Sits by the front door with a bay laurel in it. Neighbours keep asking where it's from. The rust developed evenly with no streaks, which was my worry with steel.
Solid product and the tabs interlock cleanly. Docked a star because I needed a rubber mallet and a bit of patience to drive the stakes in our clay — once in, it's not going anywhere.
Fits the balcony exactly and still came through the apartment door. Packaging was serious — foam corners, strapped, no scratches. Would buy again.
The single vertical seam is ground so smooth you have to look for it. In full Arizona sun it has held colour with none of the flaking I've had from powder-coated steel.
Two troughs and the free edging arrived together. The patina on all three pieces matches because it's the same sheet — that's the detail that sold me.
Coastal air eats most metal here. The corten just did what corten does and settled into a deep brown. Ten-year warranty gave me the confidence to try it.
Ran three packs along a gravel path. Gentle curves by hand were easy, and the folded top edge means the kids can run past it barefoot.
Emailed a photo of the entry and got a straight answer on size and quantity the same afternoon. Two tall planters, exactly as recommended, and it looks like a magazine.
Same steel, same patina
