A Place in the Garden Roma Planter

The hot-dipped zinc finish is designed to weather naturally when exposed to the elements. Over time, it will develop a soft, matte, aged patina, which is a characteristic feature of this material rather than a defect.

Yes, the Roma Planters are constructed from heavy-gauge steel. The 80cm version weighs 33 lbs, and the 100cm version weighs 55 lbs, providing a stable, sturdy base that resists tipping in most outdoor environments.

While these planters are engineered specifically for outdoor durability, they can be used indoors if you use a liner. Because they are made of steel, they do not have built-in drainage holes, so a liner is essential to protect your floors from water and soil.

No, the Roma Planters do not come with pre-drilled drainage holes. If you are planting directly into the vessel, we recommend adding a layer of drainage material like gravel or clay pebbles at the bottom, or using a plastic liner.

Maintenance is minimal. You can simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the zinc coating and interfere with the natural weathering process.
