It is made of durable Corten steel, which is anti-corrosive and develops a rusty protective layer against corrosion when first exposed to atmospheric conditions, eliminating the need for painting and saving on maintenance costs. The distinctive brown color of the Corten steel is an eye-catcher, and the material is exceptionally durable and stands the test of time. The planter is deep and wide enough to hold a large amount of soil, providing ample space for your plants, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. The steel frame and interior support brackets ensure sturdiness and stability. The rim of the garden pot has an edge fold design, preventing exposure to dangerous sharp edges. Please note: This product is not rusted upon receipt and has a normal metal color, but will develop rust over time. You can accelerate the rusting process by spraying it with soap water and salt water. To avoid staining clothes, refrain from contact with the developing rust layer. Assembly is made easy with the included manual. Features: Color: Rusty Material: Corten steel Dimensions: 100 x 100 x 77 cm (L x W x H).
