The Mohawk black powder-coated steel planter 50 x 90 x 50 cm is a medium-sized rectangular planter for stylish planting on a patio, along a garden path or at an entrance. Its elongated shape provides room for ornamental grasses, perennials, herbs, flowering plants and compact shrubs. With its matt black appearance, this steel planter creates a strong modern accent in both minimalist and natural green gardens. The Mohawk planter is made from 1.5 mm steel and finished with a black powder coating. It includes a base and is therefore ready to function as a self-contained planter. The theoretical gross volume of approximately 225 litres offers adequate space for diverse planting and stable root development. Place the planter on a level, well-draining surface that can support the weight of the filled container. Use a suitable drainage layer and quality substrate. To preserve the finish over time, clean the coating regularly with mild detergent and address any damage promptly.
