If you're looking to add a bit of character to your garden, balcony, or patio, this corten steel planter is a genuinely great choice. Corten steel — also called weathering steel — is naturally anti-corrosive, meaning it forms its own rusty protective layer over time without any need for paint or special coatings. It basically looks after itself, which saves you the hassle and cost of ongoing maintenance.

One thing worth knowing: when it arrives, it'll have a normal metal finish — the rust hasn't developed yet. That's totally normal. Over time it'll take on that beautiful warm, earthy brown tone that makes corten steel so popular in gardens. If you want to speed things up, a quick spray with soapy or salty water does the trick. Just keep it away from your clothes while the rust is still developing. At 75cm tall, it's a great height for displaying plants without having to bend down, and the sturdy steel frame keeps everything solid and stable.

It's a good-looking, low-maintenance addition to any outdoor space, and well worth picking up through Simpledeals. You can even grab it on Afterpay if you'd rather spread the cost.
