Australian Made SHAPESCAPER REDCOR Steel Rectangular Planters
Manufactured in Australia using premium BlueScope® REDCOR® weathering steel, SHAPESCAPER® Rectangular Planters combine exceptional strength, durability and contemporary design. Their clean, straight lines create a striking architectural feature for gardens, courtyards and commercial landscapes, while the modular construction makes assembly straightforward.
REDCOR® weathering steel is specifically designed for Australian conditions. Over time, the steel develops a natural oxide layer, known as a patina, that produces a rich, rustic appearance while helping protect the underlying steel from further corrosion. Each planter is backed by a 10-year structural warranty.
The planters feature smooth, rounded edges and a substantial 40mm x 20mm returned top rim for additional strength, rigidity and safety. Supplied in two halves with precision-engineered, pre-drilled fixing points, the sections join together easily for accurate alignment and a professional finish.

Installation & Care
SHAPESCAPER® Rectangular Planters are designed for straightforward assembly using the supplied modular components.
- Prepare the location: Select a firm, level surface with suitable drainage beneath the planter.
- Assemble the planter: Position the two halves together, align the pre-drilled fixing points and secure using the supplied fixtures.
- Check alignment: Ensure all connections are secure and the planter is level before filling.
- Prepare for planting: As the planter has no base, install over suitable soil or a properly designed, free-draining foundation.
- Fill and plant: Add appropriate soil or growing media for your selected plants, allowing for settlement and watering.
- Allow natural weathering: REDCOR® steel will initially appear light grey due to its protective oil film. With exposure to alternating wet and dry conditions, the surface gradually develops its characteristic rust-coloured patina over several weeks to months, depending on environmental conditions.
Important: These planters do not include a base and are not freestanding sealed containers. Installation on paving, concrete or elevated surfaces requires appropriate consideration of drainage, soil weight and potential staining from weathering steel runoff.
For maximum product longevity and warranty coverage, assemble and install in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
