Metal Planters

Europlanters offers a comprehensive range of metal plant containers including several different styles with numerous sizes to chose from.

Galvanised Steel is ideal for Exterior Landscaping where an urban look is required. Although shiny to start with these planters will dull down.

Aluzinc is a galvanised steel but it does not dull with time or show ‘water’ marks.

Stainless Steel can be used outside as well as inside, it will not rust but can corrode! This is down to chemicals in the compost (e.g. fertiliser) so we recommend a plastic liner used or GRP.

Mild Steel is cheaper but needs to be powder coated inside and out or GRP lined.

Mesh Planters

Exclusive to Europlanters, this very urban look adds another dimension to Plant Containers.

Nearly all these units are bespoke although some standard sizes are available, keeping the price down.

The Circular and Square units are standard sizes.

The Galvanised Steel frame and mesh (1” or 2”) are constructed around a GRP planter for interior or exterior use. Castors can be fitted for easy positioning.

Colour can be added to the scheme instead of the traditional black.

Code	Type	Dimensions (mm)
M1	Circular	400/400
M2	Square	450/450

Other sizes are available on request.

These can be manufactured to your specific requirements in either 1" or 2" mesh with coloured inserts of your choice, such as this planter outside a public house.

Aluzinc Planters

Aluzinc is a type of Galvanised Steel made in Sweden. It is used in construction to clad buildings, has excellent weathering properties and can be formed into many shapes and sizes.

Aluzinc does not dull down like ordinary galvanised steel and will not water mark. However care must be taken in transit that two planters do not contact each other otherwise marking will occur.

The picture shows some standard shapes and sizes although bespoke units can be easily made.

Galvanised Steel

Galvanised Steel Plant Conatiners are well established now as a favourite for Exterior Landscapes. They are a tough, resilient, urban looking alternative to Stainless Steel and come at half the price! Available in numerous shapes and sizes as well as bespoke units Galvanised Steel along with Aluzinc can be utilised almost anywhere.

If required outside these Planters come pre-drilled with drainage holes or can be sealed for interior use. This range can also be Powder Coated in gloss or matt colours from the RAL range - see our web site.

We also offer different metallics including Graphite, Copper, Silver and Bronze.

Here are three NEW Powder Coat finishes
suitable for Exterior Plant Containers, these can be applied to any of our pre-galvanised steel Planters.

This not only adds colour to your planter but also gives extra protection from the outside elements.

The Colours are :-

Bismuth - a matt textured lead look.
Vanadium - a tough hammered bronze effect.
Tungsten - dark metallic grey.
Erbium
Titanium
RAL 9007

Powder Coated Galvanised

The Planters in the first photograph are made from Zintec, lock formed in the same way as Galvanised Steel, then Powder Coated in Silver (RAL 9006) and lacquered over.

This may sound expensive and certainly looks very classy but in reality these containers are not much dearer than Aluzinc. Although there are visible seams in this range we can also offer fully welded steel units powder coated in virtually any colour.

The second picture shows a Galvanised Steel (Zintec) trough powder coated in a cream colour to match the decor of the building. Zintec Planters can be made to order to offer almost any size and colour at a reasonable price.

Powder coating costs vary depending on colour and the number required, Satin Black is one of the cheapest at approximately £15 per square meter. Metallics are also available but these usually require a clear lacquer for extra protection from the elements.

These include Silver (above right), Gold, Copper and Gun Metal (RAL 9007).
