Planter LAMELA KARO LA936-74 — concrete recycled, cream finish, model KARO 800x400x400

LAMELA KARO LA936-74 is a recycled concrete planter with a cream finish, shaped in the KARO 800x400x400 configuration. Designed for both outdoor and indoor environments, this planter combines the look of textured concrete with the practical benefits of a heavy, stable container. It is made to withstand frost and routine exposure to the elements while providing a low-maintenance planting solution for shrubs, ornamental plants and urban landscaping applications.

Advantages

The recycled concrete construction offers high stability and resistance to tipping, while the cream finish provides a neutral, contemporary appearance that complements a wide range of planting schemes and architectural styles. Frost resistance and durable material reduce the need for frequent replacement, and the planter’s substantial mass helps maintain plant root temperature and moisture balance in variable weather.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Terraces and balconies where a durable, stable planter is required
• Public spaces and sidewalks for street planting and urban greening
• Commercial projects such as hotel entrances, office landscaping and shopping centre décor
• Indoor display areas with sufficient floor loading capacity
• Planting shrubs, small trees, perennials and ornamental grasses

When it may not be suitable

Because the planter is made of recycled concrete and has significant mass, it may be unsuitable for situations where frequent relocation is required or for lightweight balconies with strict load limits. It is not intended for use as a temporary or disposable container.

Key specifications

• Material: recycled concrete
• Finish: cream (textured concrete appearance)
• Shape/configuration: KARO 800 x 400 x 400 mm (length x width x height)
• Intended use: indoor and outdoor planting
• Durability features: frost-resistant, weather-resistant

How to use

Place the planter on a stable, level surface capable of supporting its weight when filled. Ensure adequate drainage by using a layer of coarse aggregate or drainage mat at the bottom and use quality potting mix appropriate for the selected plants. For outdoor use, consider a frost-protective root insulation layer in regions with severe freeze–thaw cycles. When planting larger shrubs or small trees, allow sufficient root space and avoid overfilling with soil to maintain healthy growth.

What to consider before purchase

• Check floor or terrace load-bearing capacity to ensure it can support the filled planter’s weight
• Verify dimensions (800 x 400 x 400 mm) to ensure it fits the intended location and layout
• Consider drainage requirements and whether a drainage hole or internal drainage solution is needed
• Assess access for delivery and placement due to the planter’s substantial weight

Usage recommendations

For best results, use well-draining soil, position the planter where it receives appropriate light for the chosen plants, and schedule seasonal maintenance such as top-dressing and root pruning. In climates with deep freezes, add insulation around the root zone or move to a protected location if practicable.
