With an old-fashioned 1940s charm, these corrugated steel planters will have you eager to dig for victory and grow your own. Just perfect for creating some vintage appeal in the garden or on the allotment. The clever flat pack design can be set up in six different ways to suit the size and shape of your plot. Simply lay it out in a rectangle or square to the dimensions required, then assemble it using the hardware and handy tool provided. It is really that simple. The kit even includes a plastic edging to protect the top edge, and give an attractive finish. The strong walls are made from durable, weatherproof Zincalume steel with an attractive sage green Colourbond coating, lasting up to four times as long as normal galvanised steel.
