Planter - 42x40x39cm - Corten Steel - Brown

Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is an alloy that forms a stable, rust-like appearance when exposed to the elements. This outer layer protects the steel from further corrosion.

No, the Corten steel develops its own protective, decorative rust layer, eliminating the need for painting and ongoing maintenance.

The full, stable patina typically develops over several months to a couple of years, depending on environmental conditions like humidity and exposure to rain.

While possible, it is not recommended. Corten steel is designed for outdoor use, and indoor environments may not provide the necessary weathering conditions, potentially leading to uneven patina development or rust transfer.

The dimensions of this planter are approximately 42cm in length, 40cm in width, and 39cm in height.

Assembly is straightforward and includes a manual to guide you through the process.

The rust color is a stable patina that develops over time. While it may slightly lighten or darken with extreme weather, it does not typically fade away.

Ensure all bolts and connections are tightened securely. Check that the planter is placed on a level surface.

This is a natural process. The color will even out over time as the Corten steel continues to weather. Avoid using harsh chemicals which can interfere with the patina.

During the initial weathering period, some rust runoff may occur, especially after rain. Consider placing the planter on a base that can be easily cleaned or on gravel to mitigate staining on patios or decks. This effect lessens as the protective layer stabilizes.
