Garden Planters & Pots

Our planters are available in a variety of materials including aluzinc, corten steel and wood. Each material offers unique benefits and adds a different style to your garden or outdoor space.

When choosing the right planter material for your outdoor space, consider both aesthetics and durability.

Wood planters, especially those made from cedar or teak, offer a natural, rustic look that blends seamlessly with outdoor settings. They’re durable but may require occasional sealing to protect against moisture.

Zinc planters bring a sleek, modern vibe and are lightweight, making them easy to move around; they’re also naturally resistant to corrosion.

Corten steel planters are a popular choice for a bold, industrial look, as they develop a beautiful rust-like patina over time while remaining highly durable and weather-resistant.

Each material has unique benefits, so consider the climate, desired style, and maintenance level that best suits your space.

Aluzinc is a mixture of aluminium and zinc, which creates a durable and sturdy planter, which is lighter and stronger than traditional steel planters, as well as other metal planters.

All our planters are suitable for outdoor use. However, for indoor use, we find our range of aluzinc planters to be the most popular as corten can leave stains on hard surfaces and wooden has a more outdoor aesthetic.

All of our metal planters ship with drainage holes and bungs. Our Wooden Planters are have specially designed gaps to ensure smooth drainage.

Choosing the right planter size is important for plant health. Generally, you’ll want a planter that’s 1–2 inches larger in diameter than your plant’s root ball for smaller plants, and 2–4 inches larger for larger plants. This provides enough room for growth without too much excess soil.

Corten steel is also considered a sustainable material due to it being recyclable and long lasting. So whatever your choice you can be sure of your green credentials with Woven Wood.

1. Regular Cleaning: It's important to clean your wooden planters at least once a year to prevent the build-up of dirt and grime. You can do this with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow the planter to dry completely.

2. Drainage: Make sure your planters have sufficient drainage to prevent water logging. Standing water can lead to rot, which can damage your planter and harm your plants. Consider drilling additional holes if necessary.

3. Protective Liner: Consider using a protective liner inside the planter to prevent direct contact between the soil and wood, which can lead to rot. You can use landscaping fabric, plastic or even a thick layer of newspaper.

4. Treating the Wood: To protect the planter from the elements and increase its lifespan, it's recommended to treat the wood annually with a non-toxic, weather-resistant wood sealant or preservative. Make sure to choose a product that's safe for use around plants

Our wooden planters are pressure treated, which makes the entire planter more sturdy and durable, and means that it can last longer.

In the bottom of a wooden planter, it's recommended to place a layer of stones, pebbles, or broken terracotta pots for enhanced drainage. Additionally, using a liner, such as landscaping fabric, can prevent soil from washing out and helps protect the wood from direct contact with wet soil.

The lifespan of a wooden planer largely depends on the type of wood used and the care it receives. Generally, well-maintained hardwood planters can last around 10-20 years, while softwood planters may last between 5-10 years. Regular treatment with a suitable preservative and good drainage can significantly extend a planer's lifespan.
