Corten metal planters (also called weathering steel planters) are revolutionizing outdoor landscaping with their iconic rust patina and zero-maintenance durability. Unlike traditional concrete or wooden planters, these corten steel containers form a protective oxide layer when exposed to rain and humidity, eliminating painting costs while resisting corrosion for 30+ years.
