Architectural & Commercial Corten Steel Planters – Custom Fabricated in the UK

At Metal Sheets Ltd, we design and manufacture architectural Corten planters and commercial Corten steel planters for landscape architects, contractors, and interior designers seeking premium, made-to-order metalwork. Every planter is custom fabricated in our UK workshop using 3–4 mm Corten steel, ensuring outstanding durability, weather resistance, and design precision. Unlike imported retail products, our planters are engineered for long-term structural integrity and tailored to each project’s specification and scale.

Built for architecture, designed for longevity, finished with precision.

Engineered for Architects, Designers & Landscapers

Each project begins with detailed CAD drawings or dimensional sketches. Our skilled fabricators cut, fold and weld every section in-house, producing precise edges and seamless joins suitable for both outdoor and interior installations. We frequently collaborate with landscape architects, designers, and construction professionals to ensure our planters integrate perfectly into wider design schemes and structural layouts.

  • Fabricated from 3 mm or 4 mm Corten steel
  • Welded seams, reinforced base frames, optional drainage holes
  • CAD & DXF compatible for accurate quoting
  • Palletised delivery across the UK

Bespoke Corten Planters – Built to Your Design

Our bespoke Corten planters are individually fabricated to your drawings and dimensions. Whether you need a single architectural feature or a coordinated series for a commercial landscape, we adapt each design to suit your space. Shapes include rectangles, circular forms, tapered profiles, and modular troughs that can be linked together to form raised borders or seating zones.

Corten Steel Garden Beds for Landscape Projects

We also fabricate Corten steel garden beds for professional landscaping and architectural gardens. These units are engineered for structural strength and are typically specified for roof terraces, courtyards, and public realm schemes rather than domestic use. Each bed can be supplied in component form for easy installation on site and will develop its characteristic rusted patina naturally once exposed to the weather.

Pre-Weathered & Patina-Controlled Finishes

For clients needing an instant aged look, our finishing studio can pre-weather Corten planters to achieve a uniform rusted surface before delivery. Controlled patination provides a warm, consistent colour from day one, while allowing the steel to continue developing naturally outdoors. Alternatively, we can supply planters in their raw, unweathered state to evolve in situ over time.
