corten long box planter

We've ordered several planters in different shapes from Veradek in the past, and we've always been very happy with them. These long box planters are the best - absolutely gorgeous, very solidly built, yet easy for 2 people to move into place (unlike some heavier, more expensive corten planters we've looked at).

We wanted a rusted patina right away (we're not very patient!), so we followed the online rusting instructions and we're thrilled with the results! The planters in the photo show the results after 8 coats of the rusting spray "recipe," followed by 2 solid days of rain (a humid environment definitely helps develop the rust patina.)

Do be aware that if you have dexterity challenges, you'll probably want to ask a friend with nimbler fingers to connect the bolts and wing nuts at the 4 mitered corners, since the working space in these areas is very tight.
