Cylindro Corten Steel Cylinder

Looking for a planter that actually improves with age? The Cylindro Corten Steel Cylinder transforms from blue steel into a stunning rust-coloured beauty - and that's exactly what makes it special.

A Living Finish That Protects Itself

Your new planter arrives in blue steel. Then something magical happens. When exposed to the elements, it develops a natural rust coating that creates its own protective layer. This patina isn't damage - it's armour.

The rust coating prevents further corrosion whilst giving your planter that sought-after industrial aesthetic. Each cylinder develops its own unique character over time.

Please note: Colouring can vary between planters. This natural variation adds to the authentic, handcrafted appeal of corten steel.

Built for British Gardens

Frost-Resistant Strength

Winter doesn't worry this planter. The frost-resistant construction handles our harshest cold snaps without cracking or deteriorating. Your plants stay protected whilst the cylinder maintains its structural integrity.

UV-Resistant Durability

Summer sun won't fade or damage your investment. The UV-resistant properties keep the planter performing year after year, regardless of weather conditions.

Practical Features You'll Actually Use

Drainage Holes for Healthy Plants

Overwatering kills more plants than anything else. Built-in drainage holes prevent waterlogging and promote healthy root development. Your plants thrive because excess water escapes naturally.

Reinforced Walls That Last

Cheap planters bend, crack, and disappoint. The Cylindro features reinforced walls that maintain their shape and strength season after season. You get professional-grade construction for home use.

Textured Surface for Visual Interest

The textured finish adds depth and character to your space. Light plays across the surface, creating visual interest from every angle. This isn't just a container - it's a design feature.

Versatile Placement Options

Internal and External Use

Your Cylindro works brilliantly indoors or outdoors. Create a statement in your living room, then move it to the patio when you fancy a change. The same premium quality works everywhere.

Indoor displays benefit from the industrial aesthetic. Outdoor spaces gain architectural interest.

Stackable Storage

Need to store your planters during winter or between uses? The stackable design saves precious storage space. Multiple cylinders nest together efficiently when not in use.

This practical feature matters when you're juggling limited shed or garage space.

Eco-Friendly Choice

Sustainable Materials

Your environmental impact matters. The Cylindro uses eco-friendly materials that align with sustainable gardening practices. You get premium quality without compromising your values.

Corten steel's longevity means less waste over time. One quality purchase replaces years of cheaper alternatives.

Durable Investment

Fast fashion affects planters too. Mass-produced options crack, fade, and end up in landfills. Your Cylindro Corten Steel Cylinder offers a different approach.

This durable construction lasts for decades. You buy once and enjoy for years.

Perfect For Multiple Uses

Diverse Planting Needs

Small shrubs, colourful flowers, architectural grasses - your Cylindro handles them all. The versatile design suits various planting schemes and garden styles.

Create contemporary displays or rustic arrangements. The industrial aesthetic complements both approaches.

Standalone Statement or Group Display

One cylinder creates instant impact. Multiple cylinders in varying heights build dramatic compositions. You control the visual effect.

Group several together for a modern container garden. Use one as a focal point amongst traditional planters.

The Weathering Process

What to Expect

Your cylinder starts as blue steel with a protective coating. Within weeks of outdoor exposure, the natural weathering process begins.

The surface develops orange-brown tones as the patina forms. This protective layer stabilises over several months, creating that distinctive corten appearance.

Indoor use slows this process. Outdoor placement accelerates it. Both approaches work perfectly - you simply choose your preferred timeline.

Embracing Natural Variation

No two cylinders weather identically. Environmental conditions, placement, and exposure levels create unique patterns. This natural variation adds authenticity and character.

Your planter becomes genuinely one-of-a-kind through the weathering process.

Styling Your Cylindro

Contemporary Gardens

Pair with architectural plants like phormiums, grasses, or succulents. The industrial finish complements modern planting schemes beautifully.

Clean lines and minimal styling let the planter shine.

Rustic Settings

Combine with cottage garden favourites for appealing contrast. The weathered steel adds industrial edge to traditional plantings.

This unexpected combination creates visual interest and conversation.

Urban Spaces

Balconies, roof terraces, and courtyard gardens benefit from the Cylindro's compact footprint and vertical presence. Maximise limited space whilst maintaining style.

Care and Maintenance

Minimal Effort Required

Your Cylindro needs virtually no maintenance. The natural weathering process protects the steel whilst creating its distinctive appearance.

Occasional cleaning with water removes debris. That's it. No painting, sealing, or special treatments required.

Long-Term Performance

The protective patina continues working for decades. Your initial investment delivers years of reliable service without degradation.
