Outdoor Metal Planters
Our metal planters bring a clean, contemporary line to a garden or balcony, featuring six products across four lengths (40, 50, 60, and 80cm) in Silver, Black, Matt Grey, Natural zinc, and Rustic Brown finishes, including the Vigga balcony troughs. Crafted from zinc and metal, they resist rust and corrosion far better than untreated metal, standing up to genuinely unpredictable British weather. The lightweight construction makes even the largest sizes easy to reposition as a garden's light or layout changes through the year.

About Our Metal Garden Planters
Zinc planters can last decades outdoors with virtually no maintenance beyond an occasional clean, and the material holds its structural integrity through repeated wet British winters in a way that untreated metal simply doesn't.
Metal does conduct heat and cold faster than wood, stone or plastic, so on a very hot patio it's worth considering a liner or positioning the planter with some afternoon shade to protect tender roots. Using an inner liner more generally helps prevent any long term corrosion risk to the metal itself, particularly where compost stays consistently damp. Pre-drilled drainage holes come as standard across the collection, so no additional preparation is needed before planting.
The range covers six products across four lengths (40, 50, 60, and 80cm) in Silver, Black, Matt Grey, Natural zinc, and Rustic Brown, including the Vigga balcony troughs, letting you furnish a whole patio or balcony in a single coordinated finish, or mix sizes for a layered display. Lightweight construction means even the largest planter can be moved by one person, useful if a garden's layout changes with the seasons.
