Artesa 120x120x40cm is a rectangular planter made of Corten steel, suitable for all types of gardens.
Corten steel is an extremely durable and timeless type of steel, and this planter is made of Class A Corten steel, which is a metal alloy consisting of iron.
Corten steel is strong, ecological, and fully recyclable.
The rusting process of Corten steel often takes more than 1 year, and the final color also varies each time.
This depends on the specific atmosphere and conditions in which the product is located.
The product is delivered in a grey color, and from that moment, the product begins to discolor.
The final color can change from deep orange to dark brown.
The planter contains a drainage hole.
How long does the rusting process take?
- Upon delivery, Geroba's products often do not yet have the beautiful typical orange-brown color.
- The formation of the rust layer begins after 2 to 3 weeks and is only completed after approximately 1.5 years.
- The alternation between wet and dry weather is important for the formation of the protective layer.
- The exact duration largely depends on the weather and the location where you place the product.
Advantages:
- Endless possibilities
- No special maintenance of the planter
- Combination of strength and durability
- Corten steel fits perfectly in both modern and classic gardens
- Ecological as it is fully recyclable
- Class A Corten steel
- UV and frost resistant
Optional:
For those who wish to accelerate the rusting process, we offer optional products, see below.

Note:

After drying, spray again to achieve an even surface.
After sufficient rust formation (after one day), the surface can be rinsed thoroughly (low pressure) to remove residual product.
