Description
The ADEZZ Tonic planter is a straight-sided planter with rounded corners that is available in corten steel or powder-coated aluminium RAL9016 (Traffic white) as standard, but get in touch to enquire about other colour choices. The Adezz Botan planter is held above the ground on chic legs and has a solid base with drainage holes. It can be left outside all year round without damage, even in freezing temperatures
Adezz Tonic specifications:
- 5-year guarantee.
- Adezz planters are very robust, hard-wearing, weatherproof, low-maintenance and durable.
- The planter has hidden feet (17 mm) and drainage holes, which allows it to float a little above the ground and provides optimal drainage.
- The corten steel and aluminium have a standard thickness of 2 mm.
- Corten steel 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 on corten steel planters; no excess water should remain in the corten steel planter. This can cause the metal to corrode 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 guarantee expires if you drill or grind in a way that is not specified.
- The weathering process may cause rust run-off initially that can cause stains on materials / surfaces.
- Clean annually by hosing dirt from the planter with clean tap water. For the aluminium planters, follow this by cleaning with detergent. Do not use a pressure washer and/or scouring pad for this purpose. This damages the coating.
Planting advice:
- Insert the overflow pipes into the drainage holes prepared for them (aluminium planters only).
- Fill the planter with about 10 cm of drainage material.
- Place a permeable anti-root membrane over the drainage material.
- Cover the membrane with soil suitable for your chosen plants.
- Keep the drainage holes clear so that excess water can run off.
