Metal Planters and Terraces FAQ

Metal planters are ideal for terraces because they combine structural strength with long-term outdoor durability. Our metal planters integrate with fire-compliant build-ups, meet A1 and A2 fire ratings, and provide a clean, modern finish. When designed with proper drainage, metal planters perform reliably in UK weather conditions across both residential and commercial terrace environments. Metal Planters Ltd fabricates every unit in-house at our Essex workshop.

Metal Planters Ltd offers metal planters in three core materials: corten steel with a distinctive natural rust patina, polyester powder coated mild steel for maximum weight and stability, and polyester powder coated aluminium for lightweight rooftop installations. All metal planters can be finished in any RAL or BS colour. Corten steel metal planters weigh 24 kg/m, mild steel metal planters weigh 24 kg/m, and aluminium metal planters weigh just 11 kg/m.

Our metal planters and terrace system components are manufactured from non-combustible and fire-tested materials. The adjustable pedestals carry a Class A fire rating (EN 13501-1:2018), the aluminium planter rails are A1 fire rated, and the aluminium decking is rated A2-S1, d0. This makes our metal planters system suitable for regulated terrace and rooftop environments on residential and commercial buildings.
