Planter boxes and planters
This category holds Urban Retro Garden's range of planter boxes and planters for balconies, roofs, courtyards and private gardens. You can filter the products by size, height, depth, material and finish, and fit the exact container to the design and practical needs of each project. The collection includes planters in metal, corten and galvanised steel in a wide range of sizes, from containers for ornamental plants and herbs to large planters for shrubs and trees.
When choosing a planter it is important to consider not only looks and design but also what the planned planting needs. The planter's volume, its depth and its drainage directly affect root development and the health of the plant over time. It is also advisable to match the planting to site conditions such as the direction of the sun, the strength of the wind, the height of the floor, the region of the country and the level of maintenance you want. Preparing the planter properly, with sound drainage, suitable substrate layers and a professional fill of tuff and planting soil, is the basis of a planting system that stays healthy and lasts for years.
If you are not sure which planter suits your needs, we will be glad to help you choose the sizes, the volume and the right solution according to the planting, the limits of the building and the plan of the garden or balcony.
Are the planters suitable for balconies?
The planters are suitable for balconies. You can get the table of weights from us, including soil, tuff, water and plants, and obtain a structural engineer's approval for placing the planter on the balcony according to the load ratio.
Can just one planter be painted?
Yes. A single container can be painted. Painting is in RAL shades, and if a particular colour is not in stock there are similar shades.
How do you plant in a very large iron container?
Our containers are ready for planting. We recommend using cold bitumen spray on the welds and the base and connecting a drain, and the container is ready. Fill one third with tuff and two thirds with soil, and start planting.
