Planter pot VidaXL model 860748 olive-green steel, rectangular 120×80×40 cm

VidaXL steel planter pot model 860748 in olive-green is a rectangular outdoor container measuring 120×80×40 cm. Constructed from durable steel with a weather-resistant finish, this planter is intended for use on terraces, patios, balconies and in public landscaping. Its generous dimensions accommodate soil, potted plants, shrubs or small trees and provide a stable, low-maintenance planting solution for both private and commercial settings.

Advantages

The steel construction offers structural strength and long-term durability while the protective coating reduces the impact of moisture and weather exposure. The rectangular shape and substantial volume allow for flexible planting layouts and efficient use of space. The olive-green finish provides a neutral, natural appearance that integrates with different planting schemes and outdoor furnishings.

Suitable for

• Planting flowers and seasonal bedding plants
• Containing shrubs or compact ornamental trees
• Creating raised borders or screening on terraces and patios
• Urban landscaping projects and communal outdoor areas
• Displaying potted arrangements for commercial spaces

When it may not be suitable

This steel planter is not recommended for planting very large trees that require deep root systems or for sites where the container will be permanently submerged in water. In coastal locations with heavy salt exposure, additional corrosion protection or regular maintenance may be needed to preserve the finish over time.

Key specifications

• Material: Steel with weather-resistant coating
• Shape: Rectangular
• Exterior dimensions: 120 × 80 × 40 cm (length × width × height)
• Colour: Olive-green
• Suitable filling: Soil, compost, or potted liners

How to use

Place the planter on a level, stable surface that can bear the combined weight of the filled container and plants. If drainage is required, ensure appropriate holes or a drainage layer are provided according to site conditions; use a coarse layer of gravel or drainage material beneath the soil if needed. Fill with a suitable planting medium, position plants or pots according to the desired composition, and water thoroughly after planting. For mobility, consider placing the planter where it will remain, as filled steel containers are heavy to move.

What to consider before purchase

• Check available space and access: the planter’s filled weight and dimensions require sufficient room for placement and possible lifting equipment for installation.
• Decide on drainage needs according to plant types and local climate.
• Consider surface protection if placing on sensitive decking or paving to prevent staining or scratching.
• Plan for winter care and any additional corrosion protection in aggressive environments.

Usage recommendations

Use a well-draining soil mix for most ornamental plants and include a protective mat or feet beneath the planter to prevent direct contact with wet surfaces. For long-term appearance, clean the finish periodically and touch up any exposed metal with appropriate protective paint if scratches occur.
