Planters in Corten steel look

The aesthetics of Corten steel. The safety of stainless steel.

Corten steel is known and valued for its striking rust-red patina and unique character. In private garden design, it is precisely this transformation that is the focus of attention. However, different requirements apply when it comes to use in public spaces: here, safety, cleanliness, durability and low maintenance are key.

This is exactly where we at BENKERT BÄNKE come in: our powder-coated stainless steel planters with a Corten steel look combine the aesthetic appearance of real Corten steel with the resistance, rustproofing and durability of stainless steel. This provides urban planners, local authorities and architects with a solution-oriented alternative offering consistent quality and maximum safety.

Our XXL planters with a rustic look are available in 34 standard sizes and can also be custom-made.

What looks charming in a private garden
can become problematic in public spaces.

In private gardens, the living ageing process of genuine Corten steel is often desirable: the changing colours, spots and natural irregularities of rusting give flower beds and terraces a rustic, individual charm.

But different standards apply in public spaces!

Rust stains, uncontrollable patina formation and varying ageing processes on several objects quickly give an unkempt and unprofessional impression.

Our powder-coated stainless steel planters with a Corten steel look offer you exactly this reliable solution: a uniform, instantly perfect patina that remains beautiful for years to come – without unpredictable changes or unwanted marks on floor coverings.

Advantages of our planters in Corten steel look

No staining, no rust spots

The powder coating reliably protects surrounding surfaces and clothing from rust stains.

In 34 sizes and made to measure

In addition to our standard sizes from small to XXL, we also produce custom-made planters.

Extremely durable and winterproof

Stainless steel retains its attractive appearance and resistance to wind, weather and corrosion over time.

Virtually no maintenance

No after-treatment, no re-rusting, no sealing required.

Made in Bavaria

Genuine craftsmanship from Königsberg in Lower Franconia characterises each and every one of our products.

forklift transport

All our planters can be transported using a forklift, pallet truck or wheel loader.

Optimal plant care

The optional Plant Care System ensures that the plants are well cared for in all weather conditions.

Four bases to choose from

Four different base variants are available for maximum flexibility in installation.

Also available in 8,500 other colours

All our products are available in more than 200 standard colours free of charge, as well as in 8,500 colours from RAL Design, NCS and Pantone.

Stainless steel with a Corten steel look

While genuine Corten steel must first develop its rust-red surface through a natural ageing process, which can cause occasional discolouration, our planters immediately impress with the desired look. The special powder coating ensures an even, warm patina colour that remains stable and easy to maintain over the long term.

The result: no rust stains, no material changes, no surprises. Our planters offer you absolute planning security – an important advantage for the design of town squares, pedestrian zones, parks and outdoor facilities.
