Yes. Our fiberglass construction is freeze-thaw stable. The substrate does not absorb water, so the typical concrete failure mode of water freezing inside the wall and spalling the surface does not apply. Customers leave our planters outdoors year-round in Chicago, Denver, Boston, Minneapolis, and the Pacific Northwest with no winter staging needed.

Standard horticultural caution still applies for the plant itself: any planter holding soil with a root ball can crack the root ball in deep freeze. That is plant biology, not a planter limitation.

Every planter ships with a pre-drilled drainage hole in the base. If you are using the planter indoors or on a podium deck where drainage to a waterproofing membrane is a concern, request "no drainage hole" at order entry and we ship without the hole drilled.

For commercial outdoor installations we recommend a 1" to 2" gravel base inside the planter to prevent the drainage hole from clogging with root mat over time.

Empty weights vary by size. A 16" square fiberglass planter weighs around 12 to 15 lb. A 28" cube weighs around 35 to 45 lb. A 44" round tree planter weighs around 80 to 95 lb. Compare that to concrete equivalents at five to eight times the weight.

Freight class is low because the parts are light and nest for shipping. Most orders ship nationwide via FedEx Freight Direct. We confirm exact freight cost and transit days in writing before your PO is finalized. COI and blind ship are available on request.

About a week off-peak in any of our twenty standard colors, plus transit. Plan two weeks during peak season (May through July). Custom Pantone or RAL match adds about a week for the spray-out approval step. Quick-turn rushes are sometimes possible. Call (888) 381-9501 and ask.

Yes. Any Pantone or RAL code, in either Low Gloss or High Gloss. There is a $100 per-color fee that covers the entire matching process plus all spray-out approvals before production. You see and sign off on the actual spray-out sample before we commit color to the planters.

For most commercial projects, the $100 fee pays for itself in the time it saves not having to settle for a near match.

No order minimum. Trade pricing is available for designers, landscape architects, GCs, and hospitality groups. Request a trade quote above and the project team will set up trade pricing and confirm volume tiers before you place the order.

Three-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and finish. If a planter shows a defect in the field, we send a replacement or credit. The fiberglass substrate itself routinely holds up for ten to twenty years in commercial environments, and we have planters in the field from decade-old installs still on the original finish.

Yes. We ship to job sites, install crews, staging warehouses, and end-client docks. Provide the site contact, hours, and any unload restrictions (lift gate, residential delivery, narrow access) at order entry. We coordinate appointment delivery and confirm in writing.
