Flower planter MEXEN model 860813 — galvanized steel, 100×100×30 cm

MEXEN flower planter model 860813 is a rectangular outdoor planter measuring 100×100×30 cm made from galvanized steel. The design offers a rigid structure and corrosion-resistant surface treatment intended for long-term exposure to outdoor conditions. It is suitable for terraces, balconies, gardens and public spaces, and can accommodate shrubs, perennials, small trees in confined spaces or decorative planting arrangements.

Advantages

The galvanized steel construction provides durability and protection against rust and atmospheric corrosion, reducing maintenance needs. Its rectangular form and generous footprint allow flexible planting layouts and efficient use of space. The planter’s robust build supports heavier substrates and larger plants while maintaining a clean, minimalist appearance that integrates with various landscaping styles.

Suitable for

• Planting shrubs, perennials and small decorative trees
• Terraces, balconies and patios
• Public spaces such as walkways, parks and commercial entrances
• Creating raised beds for urban gardening or small-scale landscaping

When it may not be suitable

This galvanized steel planter may not be ideal where a fully insulated root environment is required, for example when planting species that need unusually warm soil or highly moisture‑retentive substrates. It is also less suitable for very large trees that require deep and expansive root systems beyond the planter’s dimensions.

Key specifications

• Shape: rectangular
• External dimensions: 100 × 100 × 30 cm
• Material: galvanized steel with corrosion-resistant surface
• Intended use: outdoor
• Finish: metallic galvanized appearance

How to use

Place the planter on a level, stable surface that can support its weight when filled. If required, provide drainage by ensuring the base has appropriate outlets or by adding a gravel layer to the bottom before filling with a suitable planting mix. Fill the container with a well-draining soil blend appropriate for the chosen plants, position plants with adequate spacing, and water after planting. Periodic inspection for drainage performance and removal of accumulated debris will help maintain plant health and the planter’s condition.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify available space and access for delivery and placement due to the planter’s dimensions.
• Consider drainage needs for selected plants and whether additional drainage holes or liners are required.
• Check load-bearing capacity of the installation surface when filled with substrate and plants.
• Decide if additional insulation or protective liners are needed in very cold climates.

Usage recommendations

For long service life, mount the planter on a firm, level base, use a free‑draining soil mix, and avoid leaving standing water in the bottom. For winter protection in cold climates, reduce soil moisture before freezing conditions and consider temporary insulation or moving the planter to a sheltered location if feasible.
