Most Popular Large Outdoor Tree Metal Planter Garden Pots

Corten steel became popular in architecture, infrastructure, and modern sculptural art across the world in the 1960s. Architectural use of this metal became most prominent in Australia. There, the metal was incorporated into commercial landscapes in planter boxes and raised beds, as well as to provide uniquely oxidized exteriors for buildings. Corten steel is commonly used today in both commercial and domestic landscapes due to its rustic aesthetic appeal. Most people think rust is bad, but in the case of corten steel, it’s a good sign. The steel is exposed to alternating wet and dry periods and develops a patina that creates a protective coating over the metal surface. The change of the steel patina over time is a sight to see. It starts bright orange and changes into dark brown, blending in with its natural surroundings. In later stages, it becomes almost purple in hue. This color change occurs in optimal wet/dry conditions. Those who acquire planter boxes made of Gnee can weather the steel themselves where alternating wet and dry periods aren’t as pronounced.
