Custom Metal Planters: The Best Option for Your Plants

Have you ever imagined the perfect metal planter for a design project — one that would unify the entire look and feel of the space — only to realize it’s nowhere to be found?

Settling for ill-fitting dimensions isn’t the answer. Neither is compromising the design with a lackluster planter because its size is right.

Custom metal planters are often the perfect solution to meet your project’s needs.

What Are Custom Metal Planters?

Custom metal planters offer a unique solution for design plans with customization options for color, size, and shape. At PureModern, we design custom metal planters to fit your exact specifications.

Why Are Custom Metal Planters the Best Choice?

The answer is simple. Custom metal planters serve as a unique and natural focal point. Plus, adding a custom metal planter to your design project is an easy way to elevate the overall appeal of the space.

Each custom planter is truly unique. As a result, the benefits of custom metal planters go beyond functionality and can create a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind piece in your next landscape design project.

Custom metal planters are made in your choice of aluminum or CORTEN steel and work well for interior or exterior applications.

Created for You

Nearly every aspect of our commercial planters can be customized to meet your needs. Whether you need a unique size, shape, finish, irrigation plan, etc. — we can customize the project to your unique specifications.

Irrigation accessories such as the Ollie Plant Sippers and EZ FILL-TER™ Bags keep a consistent amount of water in the planters, which means the look you so painstakingly put together for your client remains beautiful all year long.

Adapted to Your Needs

With custom metal planters, you can achieve a sleek look or a more rustic design. Either way, settling for a planter that isn’t quite right becomes a thing of the past.

When your commercial design project calls for a planter, we want you to know exactly what shape, size, material, and color options you have at your fingertips. If you don’t see a planter on puremodern.com that fits your vision, there are six ways you can customize our planters to fit your unique needs: planter material, color, size, shape, drainage, and even add lights.

Once you have thought about all the various aspects, simply fill out our request a quote form, tell us what you need, and we will email you a quote. Our team of experts can even help you sort through various considerations and provide advice for choosing the right size, shape, and material that fits your needs.

What Features Can I Choose When Buying a Custom Planter?

When buying a custom metal planter, you can choose features like:

  • Color. Flexibility is important when it comes to planter color. When you order a custom metal planter, check that the manufacturer can match any RAL color, so your planter perfectly complements your interior or exterior design.

  • Size. With a custom metal planter, you can select the exact measurements to fit your design plan. Whether you need tapered square planters like in this project or planters for a larger layout that span multiple tiers like in this project, you’ll always get the size you need with a custom metal planter.

  • Shape. Customizing the shape, thickness, and lip size of your planter can put your design over the top. From classic and traditional to modern and minimalist, a custom metal planter delivers a truly unique experience.

  • Irrigation needs. In addition to fabricating custom planters, at PureModern we also specialize in irrigation equipment to further customize your planter. For instance, Ollie Plant Sippers leverage a plant’s natural capillary action. By adding this feature, your plants will need 80% less water. Another way to customize your planter is with EZ FILL-TER™ Bags. With these bags, you can fill your planters without using heavy soil or stones while still providing an effective water filtration system.

What Materials Are Used to Make Custom Metal Planters?

Custom metal planters are generally made from marine-grade aluminum or COR-TEN steel.

Marine-Grade Aluminum. Marine-grade aluminum is specially alloyed for strength and resistance to corrosion. Perfect for projects where you need a planter that can stand up to seawater and other wet environments, custom planters made with marine-grade aluminum are a reliable choice.

Aluminum planters can be made into any geometric shape with 90-degree corners (or cylinders with flat bottoms). They can be powder-coated and cured in a range of colors. To learn more about custom planter options using powder-coated aluminum, please click here.

Marine-grade aluminum is available in many different gauges. So, depending on the design specifications, aluminum can be comparable in weight to fiberglass. This can be especially important to note for design plans for a rooftop garden, where it’s critical to consider the combined weight load.

COR-TEN Steel. COR-TEN is a naturally oxidized steel alloy that is extremely popular for outdoor projects due to its unique look and weather resistance. COR-TEN develops a protective patina that resists corrosion and can only occur outside in the elements. The stable rust-like appearance of the patina makes COR-TEN a stylish option that can endure moisture and other natural elements while maintaining its strength and durability.

Custom Metal Planters Accentuate Layout, Aesthetics & Brand Identity

More and more studies are proving the positive effects plants have on our psychology and well-being. As a result, planters are no longer an afterthought in today’s design plans.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find any commercial space that isn’t taking advantage of the impressive benefits and ambiance that sleek planters can create.

Commercial planters are playing an increasingly significant role in layout, aesthetics, and even strengthening brand identity. They can be used to evenly distribute visual weight in a space, add structure or privacy to large open spaces, and tie together your design theme.

PureModern’s custom metal planters can serve a variety of uses. For example:

  • Planters can “soften” a concrete terrace in the middle of a city building by adding walkways with lush landscaping for the building's residents. See how PureModern’s planters decorate the beautifully landscaped terraces at this building.

  • Planters can carve out cozy seating arrangements for guests while also adding elements of nature and structure to any seating area. These attributes — combined with privacy booth seating — naturally elevate the brand identity of bars, restaurants, and hotel lounges. PureModern planters contributed to the design of this unique and stylish space that is now first-come, first-served because of the space’s wild popularity.

See more examples of PureModern planters adding more than just decoration to commercial design projects. The planters you’re seeing are fully customizable and work well in any space where you’d like function and beauty to play leading roles.
