FAQs
Do I need to assemble the planters?
No, the Garden Gear Rust Effect Trough Planters are supplied fully assembled.
Can I leave these planters outside all year?
Yes, the steel construction is designed to withstand outdoor conditions throughout all seasons.
Will the rust color get worse over time?
The finish is designed to evolve. The oxidation process may deepen or change in tone, resulting in a unique look as the planters age.
Do the planters come with drainage holes?
Yes, each planter features a built-in drainage hole to support healthy plant growth.
Can I use these on a wooden deck?
You can, but be aware that runoff from the rusted steel may stain the wood. Placing a protective barrier underneath is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Water is pooling inside the planter.
Check the drainage hole at the base for blockages from soil or roots and clear it gently.
Rust marks appearing on the patio or deck.
Move the planter to a non-porous surface or place a dark, non-reactive tray or rubber mat beneath the unit to catch runoff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply position the planters in your desired location and fill them with your choice of potting mix and plants. No assembly is required. To maintain the planters, avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that might interfere with the natural oxidation process. If the drainage holes become clogged due to sediment, simply tilt the planter and clear the obstruction with a small rod. As the finish is designed to evolve, you do not need to apply protective sealants; the rust layer itself acts as a protective shield for the steel beneath.
