Designed for industry professionals
The flexibility and strength of fiberglass allows for the production of marine, automobile, and complex commercial structures, making this material the most durable, long-lasting yet lightweight option. And it’s highly sustainable, too. With proper care and maintenance, our planters will last for years.
Our experience in industrial design guarantees that each product is engineered for quality and tough enough to withstand extreme weather conditions without compromising integrity or beauty. As an added layer of care and detail, each of our planters are hand made and marked with a unique serial number, so you can track the process from start to finish and get to know the hands that made your planters.
