Our planters are made for you...

If you love high-end aesthetics...

One reason to love our planter boxes is that they look very stylish – we’ve intentionally designed them to enhance the look & feel of the gardens they feature in. Our planters look so good because they’re:

  • Made from real weathering steel for a rustic natural look that develops with a rusted patina.
  • Internally joined with concealed fittings to produce clean lines and beautiful seam details.
  • Precision-engineered to achieve a stylish, high-end aesthetic with every installation.
  • Designed with a 45mm top edge to form a stylish, boxy profile.

If you value high-quality...

Simply put, you won’t find a better quality steel planter, because Straightcurve planter boxes are:

  • Very high-quality landscaping products made to exacting standards.
  • Designed & manufactured to an exceptionally high standard for a flawless fit & finish.
  • Made from 2mm thick high-quality engineered weathering steel panels.

If you're looking for a very durable product...

Our planter boxes are ideal for DIY gardeners and professional landscapers who value durability because they’re:

  • Made with weathering steel; a hard-wearing material that can last for 10 years or more.
  • Rock-solid and won’t budge once installed thanks to our unique joining + bracing systems.
  • Quality tested to ensure landscape industry-leading durability.

If you're a bit of a perfectionist...

If you have an eye for detail and want things to be just so (and stay that way) our planters are ideal for you because they’re:

  • Designed to fit neatly together via a hidden joining system that produces a beautiful seam detail at the joins.
  • Engineered to stay strong & true for many years after installation – the thickness of the steel and the way the system is designed to hold together means our planters won’t budge, bulge, crack or otherwise change shape once installed.

If ease of installation and usability are important to you ...

Our planters tick all the usability boxes because they’re:

  • Expertly designed for quick & easy DIY installation.
  • Made with smooth rolled edges to keep children & pets and other garden users safe.
  • Supplied with an integrated stabilising foot for installation on level ground (which means there’s no need to bury any part of the edge, so you’re not paying for material you’ll never see).
  • Maintenance-free once installed and weathered.

If you want to increase curb appeal and liveability...

Our planters are easy to build. They require no maintenance once installed. And they improve the look & feel of the homes, gardens, and commercial properties in which they feature. For these reasons, our planters are a great low-cost, low-maintenance option for:

  • Increasing the curb appeal and liveability of homes & investment properties.
  • Making commercial buildings more attractive to tenants and their customers.
  • Introducing plants & trees to office spaces and other working environments.

The weathering steel finish

Ellipse-1

How it comes

The manufacturing process of weathering steel will leave the surface in a dark, almost black state. The weathering process sees this layer break down first before the desired protective patina layer can establish.

Ellipse-2

What it turns into

Once installed, wash with warm soap and water to remove the protective coating and encourage development of an even patina - this may take weeks or months depending on weather conditions.

To create a custom planter box (or raised garden bed), choose the panels & accessories required for the size & shape of your design. Helpful hint - scroll down to read our quick guide to custom planters before your create your wishlist for your local stockist.

How to order your custom planter:

Step 1 - Sketch out...

Sketch out your planter box shape including dimensions of all sides.

Step 2 - Measure up...

On your sketch, mark out all panel sizes required to build your design.

Note: Straightcurve planter panels are available in 400mm, 600mm, 800mm, and 1000mm long lengths to make up a ‘nearest to’ option.

Step 3 - Jot down...

Jot down the number of panels of each length needed for your design.

Then do the same for joiner accessories by circling all the panel joining points and counting the number of straight joins, closed corners, and reverse corners needed to join your panels / build your planter.

Step 4 - Brace it...

Each straight join in your design will require bracing.

Use one bracing strap set where two opposing joins are equal to or less than 1200mm apart. In all other situations, use one universal bracing set (or ground anchor post 1100mm + fitting set) per straight join.

Make a note of how many of each type of bracing set you need on your sketch.

Step 5 - Add screws...

Don’t forget your screws.

All Straightcurve planter joins are fixed with Tek Screws which you can add to your order before checking out.

Our webshop automatically calculates and recommends the number of screws you’ll need based on the products you’ve added to your cart. Make sure to add the required number of Tek Screws to your order (or you can supply them yourself).

Step 6 - Place order...

Now you’re ready to shop.

Go to the “Custom Planter Box” option on this page and click “Shop options”.

Use the notes on your sketch as a shopping list and build your order by adding the required:

> Panels

> Joining accessories

> Bracing sets

> Screws

Next, review your cart (checking you’ve everything you need) and place your order.

Your custom planter components will be delivered within 7 working days.

Remember – if you have any questions or queries regarding your products you can always reach out to us via email or live chat.
