Description
The ADEZZ Onyx planter is a CorTen steel planter with a beautifully organic shape. The gorgeous curves of the ONYX will add style to your garden and the rounded shape gives a soft look that blends perfectly with planting such as grasses. Corten steel of adds warmth thanks to the orange-brown patina on the rusted planter. This perfectly contrast the lush green of any garden. This patina is formed by a natural layer of rust.
This rusted planter has a solid base, with drainage holes, and will be supplied un-weathered. The CorTen steel will form its rusted coating when left exposed to the elements.
Adezz Onyx specifications:
- 5-year guarantee.
- Corten steel planters are very robust, hard-wearing, weatherproof, low-maintenance and durable.
- The corten steel has a standard thickness of 2 mm.
- Products are delivered without rust. The corten steel rusting process takes about 4-5 months, depending on weather conditions.
- The rust can be fixed by applying Owatrol. This is a penetrating rust inhibitor that forms a protective anti-rust coating. Owatrol protects the planter and stops the rust on corten steel flaking off.
Key points of interest:
- Products should be unpacked immediately upon receipt to release any moisture trapped inside the packaging. If the product is left in its packaging, it may develop uneven rust patches.
- Ensure proper drainage.
- Do not use an overflow pipe: no excess water should remain in the corten steel planter. This can cause the corten steel to rust through due to the interaction of oxygen and soil.
- Do not use hydro pellets: they retain moisture.
- We do not recommend using corten steel within 2 km of a coastline.
- The weathering process may cause rust run-off.
PLANTING ADVICE:
- Cover the bottom of the planter with a layer of gravel (approx. 10 cm, Ø35 mm grading).
- Place a permeable anti-root membrane over the gravel.
- Cover the membrane with soil suitable for your chosen plants.
Warning! Do not use an overflow pipe: no water should remain in the corten steel planter.
