DIY CARTEL Corten Steel Rectangular Outdoor Planter Box, Rustic & Modern Farmhouse Design, Large Raised Metal Garden Bed for Commercial & Residential Use (36in x 16in x 16in)

Purchased the large 26"x26"x26" corten steel planter for the area in between my 2 garage doors (see photo). I was impressed with the thickness/gauge of the steel construction. Assembly was a breeze, all hardware was included. And as a bonus, this item is made in the USA. Since the photo was taken, the planter has already started to develop the characteristic aged rusted ppatina. Looking forward to seeing how the patina continues to develop over time.

Obsessed with this planter. I like it more than all of my other planters haha I want a bunch more. The only tip I would say is don’t put it on concrete as the rust will stain it, But it’s absolutely beautiful, easy to put together, super super sturdy and well made. Feels very high end & luxury but also brute and rugged haha i love it.😍🌸❤️

First off, this really looks great in our yard. We currently just have a pot set inside it but will eventually fill with dirt & plant directly in the planter. We had looked at solid construction welded planters and they are substantially more expensive. This seemed like a good alternative. Overall, it is. There are just a few things to be aware of. The assembly, while not difficult, did require a but of wiggling & finesse to get some of the holes lined up. Nothing impossible and nothing that required a drill or a hammer; it just took a bit of patience & persistence. That said, we were able to properly & completely assemble the planter problem. The other thing to keep in mind is that the bolts used to assemble the planter appear to be stainless steel. so while the container will rust - as it should - the bolts will remain shiny stainless steel. Two of the sides of the planter only have bolts at the bottom, so you can arrange the planter so one of those sides are the most visible, which is what we have done. We may investigate some kind of paint/finish for the bolts to make them less obvious. Even with these two considerations, I recommend this planter. It's rusting beautifully and really looks good in our yard. It's a more affordable way to get a high end looking planter.

These planters are great if you’re looking for a strong and durable planter you can have for years! I also love the patina they form over time, making them so unique! The sleek steel look fits perfect with our modern exterior. Very happy with the quality and would recommend!

I'm absolutely in love with this Corten Steel Planter! It arrived promptly and included all the necessary tools for assembly, which helped a lot. It's heavy, durable, and also includes two drainage holes at the bottom. There are also two plugs in case you don't need the drainage holes. They even included instructions on how to accelerate the rusting process. I'm so excited to use it in my garden this spring! Will definitely be checking out their other products.

The pot took some finagling to get together. I am glad I didn’t keep it on my lanai like I wanted to originally as i misunderstood patina vs what this does. It’s been over a year and the layers flake off. I’m not sure how some of these people are getting this beautiful copper look all the time but I’m happy with it in the yard. My plumerias love it and have flourished. It protected them during hurricanes Helene & Milton. *DO NOT PUT ON A SURFACE YOU DO NOT WANT STAINED* the layers keep coming off & we are in July 2025 Would recommend

The planter is great and of high quality! I did have to get another set of screws and nuts because I could not get the nuts tightened that were provided. However, that could just be me and not the parts.

These are a bit flimsy and take some time to assemble. My issue is with the missing two screws in mine and the complete run around Amazon gave me (I recorded it) when trying to message the seller. It can't be done so I have to hope the seller reads a review and mails me two unusual screws or send the whole thing back - both of which are inconvenient.

RUSTASTIC !!! I absolutely love these planters! They are such a statement piece in the garden. I’m so excited to style them throughout the seasons, flowers, pumpkins, winter greenery… the possibilities are endless! They are strong, sturdy and easy to assemble. I was worried the rusting process would take longer than I wanted, but no, they rusted as soon as I sprayed them with peroxide and vinegar! They are continuing to become even more beautiful with time. Very, verrrrry happy with these pieces. Shari Pegg-Bonaccorso

I adore my new corten steel planters! They’re the perfect modern industrial vibe that I wanted against my greenhouse. They were easy to put together and the oxidation process was magic! They transformed before my eyes and have the aged patina that I was looking for. They really elevate my garden and I couldn’t recommend them more!
