Sitting Cat Planter

Durable - Our planters are built with robust metal sides and a pot shelf, all made from 3mm thick steel, guaranteeing outstanding durability.

Stable - Once assembled and all nuts and bolts are securely tightened, our planters provide a highly stable structure.

Weather Resistant - If you opt for the powder-coated finish, it shields the planter from severe weather, ensuring it lasts longer.

Nuts & Bolts - For our black powder-coated planters, we use black stainless steel nuts and bolts that are rust-proof, while our mild steel option features galvanized nuts and bolts. Both come equipped with 'nyloc' nuts to prevent loosening.

Precision - Our plasma/laser-cut steel delivers a perfect finish, and we also offer the chance to customize your planter with engravings of names or messages.

Quality - Proudly made in the UK, our planters are designed to be strong and durable, promising years of reliable use.

Choosing between a mild steel finish and a powder-coated option for your planter requires careful thought, and we hope this guide helps you make an informed decision.

Mild Steel Finish (Ready to Rust)

Rustic decor is increasingly popular in gardens, providing a charming, organic aesthetic that harmonises with nature. Opting for a mild steel planter allows it to naturally develop a unique patina over time, transforming it into a rustic masterpiece. Once your planter has achieved the desired level of rust, you can preserve its appearance by applying a clear lacquer to prevent further oxidation. Additionally, you have the flexibility to paint your mild steel planter to complement your garden's style, making it a versatile choice.

Powder-Coated Finish

A powder-coated finish offers excellent durability against various weather conditions due to its strong, hardened surface. However, if the coating becomes scratched or damaged, it's advisable to re-coat the entire metal area to maintain a consistent appearance. While touch-up paint in black is available for powder-coated surfaces, be aware that larger touch-up areas may reveal slight color differences, which could be noticeable.

Are your planters able to withstand different weather conditions?

Definitely! Our planters are designed to handle a variety of weather elements. If the metal parts are powder-coated, they offer excellent durability against the elements.

What should I do if I opt for the mild steel option?

Not much! The beauty of choosing the mild steel option is to let it develop a natural rust over time, creating a lovely rustic patina. Once it reaches your preferred level of rust, we suggest applying a clear sealant or using an oily rag finish to prevent any further rusting.

What size flower pot does the planter accept ?

The shelf of our planters are designed to accept a single large 9" (230mm) diameter plant pot

How strong are your planters?

They may be small and charming, but don’t let their size fool you; they are remarkably robust and well-built.

Can you provide information on delivery costs?

The delivery fee for our lovely planters to the UK Mainland is just £15.00. If you’re looking to ship to other locations, no worries! The shipping cost will be calculated at checkout.

Is your powder-coated option available in colours other than black?

Absolutely! While black creates a bold look, especially when combined with vibrant flowers, we can provide other colour choices if they are available from our powder-coater. Just keep in mind that this might affect the price, so be sure to check before placing your order.

Do you have a return policy?

We’re delighted that you love our planters! If the planter is a standard design from our stock, we can accept returns. However, if it’s a custom-made item or has personalisation's, we cannot accept returns unless there’s a defect with your planter (which we truly hope doesn’t occur!).

Delivery

All of our planters come in flat-pack form, but there's no need to be concerned; they are simple to put together. We provide complete assembly instructions, and all you'll require is a spanner or wrench and a flat-head screwdriver. It's important to note that we use 'nyloc' nuts, which eliminate the need for washers. However, this also means they can't be tightened by hand because of the inner plastic sleeve, so a spanner or wrench is necessary.

Timescales

We collaborate with a fantastic group of local suppliers who work hard to help create our planters. However, this means we sometimes need to align with their production timelines. While we strive to maintain a stock of our most popular planters, please allow approximately 2-3 weeks for delivery on personalised orders or items that are currently out of stock If you need it sooner, feel free to reach out, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.
