We take pride in crafting high-quality, bespoke zinc planters designed to enhance both garden and interior spaces. Each planter is expertly constructed from authentic zinc sheet metal, ensuring strength, durability, and a refined aesthetic. While we offer a selection of standard designs, our true speciality lies in creating customised planters that align with individual preferences, architectural styles, and landscaping themes.

We welcome homeowners, landscapers, and designers to collaborate with us by sharing their sketches, technical drawings, or concept ideas. This process allows us to engage in a detailed discussion about materials, construction techniques, and design preferences to ensure the final product meets both functional and aesthetic expectations. Whether you are looking for a sleek, contemporary planter or a more traditional, rustic design, we can tailor each piece to your exact specifications.

Our zinc garden planters can be supplied in their natural state, allowing them to undergo a gradual weathering process that develops into a distinctive patina. This natural ageing effect enhances the character of the planter over time, giving it an ever-evolving charm. Alternatively, for those seeking a more immediate rustic appeal, we offer customised patina treatments that replicate the look of aged zinc, producing a range of weathered and oxidised finishes. This ensures that every planter not only serves as a functional container but also as a striking design feature that perfectly complements its surroundings.

Choosing handmade zinc planters offers durability, timeless style and a natural weathering process that develops a soft grey patina. Unlike mass-produced galvanised planters, ours are fabricated from premium zinc sheet and crafted to your dimensions for a seamless architectural finish. Ideal for terraces, courtyards and interior displays, they combine classic materials with modern design flexibility.

Once the fabrication process is complete, our zinc planters move into our dedicated patina and finishing studio for final surface preparation.
Any marks from manufacturing are carefully removed to create a clean, smooth base ready for finishing.
From here, clients can choose between natural zinc planters that develop their own patina outdoors, or fully aged zinc planters with a hand-applied weathered finish for an instant, characterful appearance.

Our aged zinc finishes are available in both light and dark tones, allowing you to achieve the exact level of rustic or architectural character required for your project.
Whether you prefer the gentle, gradual ageing of untreated zinc or the rich, time-worn look of pre-aged zinc, our finishing process ensures every planter complements its surroundings beautifully.
You can view examples of both natural and aged finishes on our Zinc Finishes page.

We offer a wide range of textures, tones and patina variations, all created by hand in our Liverpool workshop.
These can be seen in the images on this page, demonstrating the depth and variation achievable with our specialist finishing techniques.
