Hampton – Corten Steel Bottomless Cylindrical Planter

Hampton Bottomless Cylinder Planter – Timeless Form, Lasting Function 🌿

Designed and handmade in Britain, the Hampton Bottomless Cylinder Planter brings a contemporary touch to any garden or landscape. Crafted with care by skilled UK fabricators, this elegant circular planter does more than look good – it creates a healthier environment for your plants to thrive.

Whether you're framing a statement tree, edging a lawn, or building a multi-level flower bed, this bottomless ring planter offers versatility, durability, and timeless appeal.

Why choose the Hampton Bottomless Cylinder Planter?

This unique planter is designed with both form and function in mind. Its open-base design means your plants can root directly into the soil below, reducing the risk of becoming pot-bound and helping them access natural ground moisture and nutrients – for healthier, stronger growth 🌱.

Made from 2mm thick structural-grade Corten steel, this planter is built to last. Corten is not just any metal – it is a premium material used in architecture and public sculpture (think The Angel of the North). As it weathers, it develops a protective patina in warm hues of orange, brown, and deep red, giving your planter a beautifully rustic look while safeguarding it from corrosion.

The Craftsmanship Behind Every Ring

Each planter begins life as premium British Corten steel. Using computer-controlled rolling machinery, the steel is shaped into a perfect cylinder before being seam-welded from the inside for exceptional strength. The welds are then carefully smoothed by hand, resulting in flawless, clean lines and an unbroken silhouette.

You can rest assured that no two planters are ever quite the same – every piece is individually crafted and subtly unique.

Weathering to Perfection

Supplied in its raw steel state as standard, the planter will begin to transform within weeks. Over six to twelve months, it will naturally weather to develop its iconic patina. This timeline varies based on exposure to rain, humidity, temperature, and sea air.

If you would like to skip the wait, you can opt for a pre-weathered finish, so your planter arrives with the beautiful rusted patina already in place.

Please note: during the early stages of weathering, rainwater may carry surface rust, which can temporarily stain the surface beneath the planter. This is a natural and expected part of the process – we recommend placing the planter on a surface that will not be affected, or letting it weather fully before moving it into position.

Made for Every Garden

Whether you're creating a modern courtyard, enhancing a cottage garden, or designing a contemporary public space, the Hampton Bottomless Cylinder Planter is suitable for both domestic and commercial use. Its clean lines and earthy finish complement a wide range of design styles, from minimalist to rustic.
