Planter box VidaXL model 860718, white rolled cold-rolled steel 120x40x80 cm

VidaXL planter box model 860718 is a white rectangular planter made from cold-rolled steel with external dimensions of 120 x 40 x 80 cm. Designed for both outdoor and indoor use, this planter offers a rigid container for flowers, small shrubs or herbs. The steel construction provides structural stability and a clean, minimal appearance suited to terraces, balconies, gardens, patios or commercial displays.

Advantages

The rolled cold-rolled steel construction delivers strong, durable walls that resist deformation under normal planting loads. The white finish gives a neutral, modern look that integrates with a wide range of landscaping and interior styles. Its large, rectangular footprint provides ample planting area while remaining compact enough for narrow terraces or balcony railings. The planter’s geometry and material ensure straightforward placement and stable support for soil, plants and watering.

Suitable for

• Outdoor terraces, balconies and patios where a durable planter is needed
• Indoor conservatories or foyers for decorative planting
• Commercial displays such as shopfronts, restaurants or office lobbies
• Growing flowers, ornamental shrubs, small herbs or mixed planting arrangements

When it may not be suitable

This steel planter is not intended for use in situations requiring continuous submersion in water or exposure to highly corrosive chemicals. In extremely coastal or salt-spray environments, additional surface protection or more corrosion-resistant materials may be preferable to prolong appearance and structural life. Also, very large trees or plants with deep, extensive root systems are not suitable for this size of container.

Key specifications

• Material: rolled cold-rolled steel with white finish
• External dimensions: 120 x 40 x 80 cm (length x width x height)
• Shape: rectangular
• Intended use: outdoor and indoor planting
• Suitable plants: flowers, small shrubs, herbs, mixed arrangements

How to use

Place the planter on a level, stable surface that can support the weight of the filled container. If used outdoors, position where drainage is acceptable or provide a suitable drainage layer. Line the bottom with a layer of coarse gravel or drainage material, then add a quality potting mix appropriate to the chosen plants. When planting, allow adequate spacing for root development and water thoroughly after planting. Periodically check for standing water and remove excess to avoid root rot. For indoor use, place protective pads under the planter to prevent surface damage.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the surface where the planter will sit can support the filled weight (soil, plants, water)
• Decide whether additional drainage holes or protective coatings are needed for your environment
• Confirm the planter’s dimensions fit the intended location and aesthetic

Usage recommendations

To extend service life and maintain appearance, inspect the finish periodically and touch up any scratches or exposed metal. Use a suitable liner or protective coating in high-humidity or coastal areas, and avoid planting very large trees or plants with invasive root systems in this planter size.
