Why Corten Steel
🛡️ Corten Steel Finish 🌾
Corten steel, also known as weathering steel, is widely used by architects and garden designers for its durability and evolving appearance.
As it weathers, it develops a rich, protective patina in natural shades of orange, red, and brown. This layer not only enhances the visual appeal but also prevents further corrosion, ensuring long term durability.
The exact finish will vary depending on your environment, meaning no two planters are ever the same, creating a truly bespoke feature for your outdoor space.
If preferred, a pre weathered option is available so your planter arrives with its rustic finish already developed.
⚙️ Versatility & Custom Options
The Tatton Column Planter is designed to suit a wide range of applications, both indoors and outdoors.
The subtle 15mm raised feet create a slight floating effect while improving drainage and airflow.
Custom options include:
Bottomless versions for direct planting into soil
Adjustable legs or castors for mobility
Drainage holes removed for indoor use

🛡️ Durability & Maintenance
Corten steel naturally resists corrosion. Its weathered surface forms a protective barrier against further rusting, extending the lifespan of the planter without the need for ongoing care.
No painting, sealing or treatment is required. Simply position, plant, and enjoy.
Weathering
⚠️ Weathering Process
If supplied in raw steel, the weathering process begins once exposed to air and moisture.
Initial patina will develop within a few weeks
Full colour typically forms over 6 to 9 months
Timing varies depending on climate and exposure
During the early stages, some staining or runoff may occur on surrounding surfaces. This is completely normal and will reduce over time as the patina stabilises.
