Benefits & Features
1. Durable Material: Made from high-quality Australian 2.5mm Redcor weathering steel, these planters are built to withstand harsh weather conditions. The robust nature of steel ensures that SHAPESCAPER planters endure the test of time, and are structurally guaranteed for 10 years
2. Unique Shape: The hexagonal design adds a contemporary touch to any space, making it a focal point in your garden or home decor. The geometric shape not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides structural stability, allowing the planters to hold more soil and support larger plants than any other planter shape.
3. Versatile Use: Ideal for a variety of plants, from flowers to vegetables, topiary displays and small trees. The versatility of these planters means they can be used in various settings, whether for indoor* decoration or outdoor landscaping. They can also be grouped together to create a cohesive and striking honey comb arrangement.
4. No Maintenance: Weathering steel planters are easy to clean and maintain, even deep abrasions of the surface patina will reform a protective coating ensuring they remain in excellent condition for years to come. The smooth surface of the steel makes it easy to wash away dirt and debris, while the sturdy construction means they require minimal upkeep.
Design Ideas
Modern Minimalism: Pair steel hexagonal planters with sleek, modern furniture and a reduced colour palette to create a minimalist aesthetic. The clean lines and rustic finish of the planters easily complement contemporary styling introducing a warm and relaxed element to the design.
Reclaimed Chic: Combine SHAPESCAPER hexagonal steel planters with rustic-style decor, such as garden furniture featuring reclaimed wood and stone. Incorporate vintage items like old metal watering cans, antique garden tools, or repurposed industrial objects as decorative elements around your steel planters. These pieces enhance the reclaimed aesthetic and add character to your space.
Use Textural Plants: Choose plants with interesting textures that complement the rustic look of the steel planters. Succulents, ornamental grasses, or trailing vines can add softness and contrast to the hard edges of the planters.
Incorporate Natural Stone: Surround your steel planters with natural stone elements like river rocks, pebbles, or larger boulders. This combination of materials creates a harmonious balance between industrial and natural aesthetics.
Create Levels: Use the different profile heights available throughout the SHAPESCAPER range to build layers and establish different levels in your design.
Green Oasis: Create a lush, green oasis by grouping several steel hexagonal planters together. Mix and match different plant species to add variety and texture, transforming your space into a vibrant garden retreat.
