In this review, I share my five-year experience with the Veradek Corten Steel Series Span Outdoor Planter, focusing specifically on its soil capacity and practical planting considerations.
Planter Dimensions and Layout
This particular model is 38 inches wide, 10 inches across, and 30 inches high. The actual planter doesn't go down all the way to the bottom—it only goes down maybe about inches down to the bottom, so you get about 8 inches worth of dirt to do your planting.
The planter includes an elevated tray that holds a plastic containment portion and drain holes, ensuring proper drainage for your plants.
- 38 inches wide
- 10 inches across
- 30 inches high
- Approximately 8 inches of soil capacity
Installation Considerations
The way I installed mine, I actually poured a concrete pad and then set it on top so it just kind of held it in place so it stays level all year long.
This installation method helps maintain stability and prevents shifting, especially in areas with varying weather conditions.
- Concrete pad installation recommended
- Ensures level placement year-round
Long-Term Performance
We've actually had this Veradek Corten Steel Series Span Planter for 5 years. It arrived as raw steel and developed a beautiful rusted finish over time due to Midwest weather conditions.
The planter's design allows it to adapt to different climates, with the rust pattern varying based on local weather exposure.
- 5-year real-world test
- Developed rusted finish over time
- Adapts to climate conditions
Who this is for
When selecting the Veradek Corten Steel Series Span Planter, consider plants that thrive in approximately 8 inches of soil depth. Ensure proper drainage by maintaining the planter's elevated design and consider installing it on a stable surface like a concrete pad to keep it level.
