Curved edges and a naturally developed patina finish on the Veradek Corten Steel Round Bowl add definition to entryways and tabletops alike. Its thick gauge corten steel construction ensures that rust develops on the surface of the planter ensuring the structural integrity of the planter body for years of use. Veradek corten series planters are proudly designed in Canada so you can be confident that your planter will hold up against weather related cracking and splitting. With the ideal balance of design, structure and purpose, the Corten Steel Round Bowl will add the finishing touches with its pop of color and unique character. During the initial rusting phase, rust will drip from the surface of the planter. Veradek recommends placing an appropriate protective barrier between the planter and ground to ensure no stains are left behind.
