Product Information
Full details
These VidaXL Corten Steel Wall Planters are designed for DIY enthusiasts looking to add a unique, decorative element to gardens, balconies, or patios. Their key benefit lies in the durable, low-maintenance Corten steel construction, which naturally develops a protective rust layer, eliminating the need for painting. A caveat to note is that the planters may arrive without rust and will develop it over time, and care should be taken to avoid staining clothes during this process.

FAQs
How long does it take for the Corten steel to develop a full rust layer?
The time can vary depending on environmental factors, but it typically takes several months to a few years for a stable, protective rust patina to fully develop. Spraying with a salt water solution can speed this up.
Can I paint over the rust?
Corten steel is designed to be left unpainted to achieve its unique aesthetic and protective qualities. Painting it would negate these benefits and may not adhere well to the rusting surface.
What are the exact dimensions of each planter?
Each planter measures 30 cm in length, 10 cm in width, and 25 cm in height (L x W x H).
Are these planters suitable for indoor use?
While durable, Corten steel rusts, which can stain indoor surfaces. They are primarily designed for outdoor use where the natural weathering is intended and manageable.
What is included in the delivery?
The delivery includes 2 x Wall planters and a manual for easy assembly.
Will the rust affect the structural integrity of the planter?
No, the rust that forms on Corten steel is a stable, protective layer that prevents further corrosion and maintains the structural integrity of the material.
Troubleshooting
Planters arrive without rust.
This is normal. The rust layer develops over time when exposed to atmospheric conditions. You can accelerate this process by spraying with a salt and water solution.
Rust is staining clothing or surfaces.
Avoid direct contact with the planter while the rust is developing. Place it in an area where dripping rust will not cause issues, or consider a temporary protective barrier.
Assembly instructions are unclear.
Refer to the diagrams provided in the manual carefully. If issues persist, consider searching for general Corten steel planter assembly guides online for visual aids.
Planter appears to be degrading faster than expected.
Ensure the planter is exposed to typical weather conditions. If it is constantly in a very dry, sheltered area, the weathering process may be slower. For excessive degradation, contact customer support.

Care: Corten steel is largely self-maintaining. However, to avoid staining clothes or surfaces, refrain from touching the planter while the rust layer is actively developing.

Avoid abrasive cleaners which could damage the protective layer.
