Bottomless Planter Varieties
Metal bottomless planters such as our trough, cubed and modular designs are available in Cor-Ten Steel and patina. Both materials are ideal for outdoor conditions and add a rustic charm to your garden.
Benefits of Bottomless Planters
Our bottomless planters hold many benefits including:
- Improved root development and aeration – Without a bottom to the planter, roots can grow deeper into the ground helping them to access more nutrients and water resources, promoting a healthier and longer-lasting plant life.
- Prevention of waterlogging or root rot – Overwatering causes normal planters to retain the water, not allowing for proper drainage and preventing your plants from absorbing enough oxygen. Our bottomless metal planters allow adequate drainage for your plants and flowers to flourish as they should.
- Flexibility – Thanks to our stock of various designs, you’ll have the flexibility to use bottomless outdoor planters in gardens of all sizes, even those with limited space. The Brampton Corten Steel Modular Planter range is ideal for installing in limited gardening spaces and adds new layers and levels to your landscape.
- Better soil quality – Bottomless planters provide more control over soil quality. They can be filled with a bespoke soil mixture, which ensures the proper balance of nutrients, organic matter and drainage, leading to a healthier plant.
The other major benefit – you’ll have a beautiful planter, that, over time, will oxidise providing a natural rustic finish.
Applications of Our Bottomless Planters
- Residential Gardens: Metal bottomless planters can be filled with soil specific to a plant’s needs as opposed to the residential soil in the area.
- Commercial Landscapes: Adding a bottomless planter in commercial landscapes creates a greener environment in urban areas.
- Community Gardens: Diversify the variety of plants in a community garden with a versatile planter.
Environmental Impact
- Sustainable Gardening:Â The improved drainage provided by bottomless garden planters reduces waterlogging from damaging roots to sustain the health of your plants.
- Recyclable Materials: Our Cor-Ten steel planters are more than just aesthetically pleasing, they’re made from recyclable materials to contribute to eco-friendly practices.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
Consider the following when deciding the best spot for your planter:
- Choose a location with adequate sunlight.
- Clear the area of surrounding vegetation.
- Place your planter and fill it with soil.
Maintenance
- Ensure your plants are receiving enough water.
- Clear any dirt off your planter to preserve its appearance.
- A layer of mulch can preserve moisture and reduce the growth of weed.
FAQs: Simplifying Your Experience
What is a bottomless planter?
A bottomless planter is a planter without a base that sits around the flowers, herbs or plants allowing them to root naturally in the soil. They allow the roots of the plants to grow down into the ground, rather than just the soil in the planter. Plants with deep tap roots will flourish with a larger soil depth, instead of circulating in a regular plant container.
Our range boasts highly durable and long-lasting Cor-Ten steel and rustic patina. They are available in cubed, trough, cylindrical and modular designs. The team at WEATHER IT laser cut the steel to construct our bottomless planters to precise measurements. We then use specialist machinery to fold them into sheet steel, where they undergo fabrication by hand as well as giving you the choice of having your bottomless planter pre-weathered or not, for a defined rustic aesthetic. Choose from the beautiful, warm, autumn shade of patina or go for our metal bottomless planters made from premium Cor-Ten steel, widely used in construction and landscaping.
How do I choose the right bottomless planter?
When choosing the right bottomless outdoor planter, consider aspects such as the available space you have in your garden. In this instance, we have planters available in different sizes so you will have the option to choose one that best fits your space. It’s also important to choose a material such as Cor-Ten steel or patina that best accentuates the aesthetic of your outdoor area.
