Corten Column Planter, Large

Crafted from the finest 16 gauge American Steel, our Column Planter will be the perfect addition to any outdoor decor. Corten Steel is also known as weathering steel. All of MK Designs'' Corten planters ship in their raw state and the patina (or rusting) process will occur when water is introduced to the material. The surface of the planter will develop an ever-changing and unique patina where a dense layer of iron oxide essentially penetrates the steel and slows the corrosion process, effectively acting as a protective barrier. Weathering steel has a reactive period from 3 to 9 months, depending on location and climate. Created for outdoor use, all of our planters are frost and heat-resistant, and they all contain drainage holes. Our planters come fully assembled and are covered by a five-year structural warranty.Please note that weathering steel products may produce carbon run off or staining to adjacent materials, like stone or concrete. The stone and concrete can be cleaned with a carbon pacifier to remove any residual run off. After the initial reactive period, weathering steel will cure and self-seal with very little to no carbon run off.
