Best for
- Balconies, patios, and rooftop edges where a 12"-deep footprint fits along railings and walls without consuming floor space
- Restaurant patios and hospitality outdoor seating — modular rows divide tables or align with the property line
- Residential entries, side yards, and pool surrounds where a slim modular line replaces a ground-bed border
- Architectural rows along facades, walkways, and storefront frontage at the 48", 60", and 72" lengths
- Architects and designers specifying a Pantone or RAL color across a multi-location rollout
- Specified by hospitality groups, restaurant chains, multifamily developments, and luxury residential projects across the US. The 12" depth is the workhorse balcony and patio size in our modular rectangular line.
- Hand-laid commercial-grade fiberglass. UV-stable and frost-resistant. Holding up in desert sun, coastal salt air, and freeze-thaw climates for decades, not seasons.
- Six standard sizes sharing a 12"×18" cross-section, from a 12" corner cube through 72" full-length row.
- Custom color match available to any Pantone or RAL code. A small per-color fee covers the matching process plus any spray-out approvals, in either Low Gloss or High Gloss — your choice.
- Optional pre-drilled drainage holes at no extra cost. Pick "no drainage" for indoor use or "pre-drilled" for outdoor.
- Specification documentation: spec sheet PDF and product configuration documentation available on request — the 12" Modular Collection is based on the Miami rectangular series and shares its specifications.

Filled weights assume 80% fill of saturated potting soil at 85 lb/ft3 — standard load-planning assumption for commercial installations. Actual weights vary with media density, moisture, root ball, and headspace.
Ships in 1–2 weeks for any of our 40 standard finishes and custom color matches across all six standard sizes. Spray-out samples and custom shapes run longer; details are in the Design Guidance tab.
Prices shown are standard retail. No trade account required. They include any of our 20 standard colors in Low Gloss or High Gloss (40 finish options). Custom color matching is available with a small per-color fee that covers the full matching process, including physical spray-out samples for approval before production. The fee covers the color in both gloss levels. Pre-drilled drainage holes are free if you need them.
Materials & Construction
- Material: hand-laid commercial-grade fiberglass with a reinforced base. The 72"×12"×18" Modular weighs 49.5 lb empty — light enough that two people can move and place it without lift equipment, whereas an equivalent concrete or stone trough at the same scale typically runs several hundred pounds heavier and usually requires a pallet jack or forklift.
- Finish: multi-coat automotive-grade paint, hand-applied and clear-coated. UV-stable, frost-resistant, and rated for desert sun, coastal salt air, and freeze-thaw climates.
- Color range: 20 standard colors, each available in Low Gloss or High Gloss for 40 total finish options. Custom color matching to any Pantone or RAL code is available for a small per-color fee, covering both gloss levels. Works equally well for hotel brand standards, architectural specs, and matching residential trim. For brand colors held in other systems, convert to the nearest Pantone or RAL equivalent for the most accurate result.
- Construction: seamless one-piece body. No corner joints to fail, crack, or leak.
- Origin: a Jay Scotts silhouette based on the Miami rectangular series, US-finished by Pots Planters & More. We stock the base inventory in our facility and finish each order to your color specification.
- Warranty: 3-year limited warranty against material and finish defects. Full warranty terms.
Project Planning Notes
- Filled weight (load planning): see the Filled (est.) column in the size table above. Estimates assume 80% fill of saturated potting soil at 85 lb/ft3; the 48" Modular lands near 400 lb filled, the 60" near 502 lb, and the 72" near 602 lb. For balconies, rooftop terraces, and interior office floors, confirm load capacity with your structural engineer or building manager before ordering the longer sizes in multi-unit runs.
- Modular configuration: the six sizes share the 12"×18" cross-section, so you can run lengths in any combination — a 72" + 48" run, a corner cap (M69400.C) terminating a 60" length, or a row of 36" units along a fence line. Specifying the same color and gloss across multiple SKUs keeps the line reading as a single architectural element.
- Planting in the longer sizes: the 18" overall height with 12" depth holds boxwood, ornamental grasses, herbs, perennials, and small ornamental shrubs — the box proportions are sized for low-mounding and trailing material rather than tall specimens. For tall vertical screening, see the Amesbury (32" tall) or Perth (privacy-tall).
- Drainage decision: indoor use is typically "no drainage" with a saucer or basin under the root ball. Outdoor use should be "pre-drilled" to prevent freeze damage and root rot. Both options are free; pick at order.
- Custom color workflow: send us your Pantone or RAL code. We mix the match and produce physical spray-out samples for your approval. Once approved, production begins. Add roughly one week to standard lead time for the spray-out and approval cycle. A small per-color fee applies and covers all spray-outs needed to lock the match — the fee covers both Low Gloss and High Gloss versions of that color. If your brand color lives in another system, convert to the nearest Pantone or RAL equivalent before submitting; cross-system conversions from house-paint references are typically only 80% accurate and add significant time to the approval cycle.
- Lead time caveats: standard sizes and custom color match ship in 1–2 weeks. Custom shape or size orders run 10–12 weeks. Out-of-stock base inventory (rare) runs 8–12 weeks. We confirm exact dates in writing before you commit.
For Designers & Project Teams
The 12" Modular Collection is in regular rotation for hospitality, restaurant, multifamily, and small-format commercial projects across the country. Because we finish every order in our US facility, lead times stay short and color flexibility stays open.
- US-stocked base, finished to your color order. 1–2 weeks for any standard finish or custom color match across all six standard sizes. No waiting on container shipments or overseas production cycles.
- Color matching for branded environments. Match a hotel brand standard, restaurant interior palette, or architectural specification using any Pantone or RAL code. A small per-color fee covers the match and spray-out approvals.
- Modular planning for project rollouts. The shared 12"×18" cross-section across all six SKUs lets you mix lengths within a single run and keep the line reading as architecture. Common combinations: a 72" + corner cap, a row of 60" units along a property line, paired 36" units flanking an entry.
- Trade pricing for designers, architects, landscape professionals, and hospitality procurement teams across our full collection. Apply for a trade account.
- Specification documentation: spec sheet and configuration documentation available on request. Expanded CAD and BIM files are in development.
- Freight delivery options: FedEx Freight Direct curbside (with liftgate and appointment) on $500+ orders, White Glove placement available, and orders over $3,500 include curbside shipping & handling at no additional cost. Full rate schedule is in the Shipping & Delivery tab.
- Returns: 30 days from delivery on standard-color items in original condition. Custom color match orders are made to your specification and aren't returnable. We confirm this in writing at time of quote so there are no surprises at delivery.
- Dedicated support: a project team from initial quote through delivery, not a contact form queue.
Trade Buyers Usually Ask
Can you match a brand or architectural color?
Yes. We match any Pantone or RAL code. These are the industry-standard reference systems for accurate, repeatable color matching on fiberglass. The workflow includes physical spray-out samples for your approval before production starts. A small per-color fee applies and covers the matching process, all spray-outs needed to confirm the match, and your choice of Low Gloss or High Gloss for that color. If your brand color lives in another system, convert to the nearest Pantone or RAL equivalent before submitting.
How do I mix sizes in a single project?
All six SKUs share the 12"×18" cross-section, so any combination of lengths runs cleanly side by side or end to end. Common configurations: a 72" length along the longest span with a corner cap (M69400.C) at the turn; paired 60" units flanking a residential entry; a row of 36" units along a fence line at a restaurant patio. Specifying the same color and gloss across multiple SKUs keeps the line reading as a single architectural element. Mixed lengths in different colors read as styling rather than architecture.
Which size works for a balcony or small patio?
The 24" (M69400.24) and 36" (M69400.36) are the most common balcony and small-patio sizes — the 12" depth fits along railings and walls without consuming floor space. The 12" corner cube (M69400.C) works as an accent or as a row terminator. For longer balconies, the 48" (M69400.48) fits cleanly along most railing spans, with the 60" (M69400.60) and 72" (M69400.72) reserved for larger terraces, patios, and commercial outdoor seating.
Can the Modular 12" be used outdoors year-round?
Yes. The 12" Modular Collection is built from commercial-grade fiberglass with an automotive-grade UV-stable, frost-resistant finish. Modulars are installed across desert, coastal, and freeze-thaw climates and are backed by our 3-year limited warranty. For outdoor use, choose the pre-drilled drainage option to prevent water from pooling and freezing in the base.
Do you offer trade or volume pricing?
Trade pricing is available to designers, architects, landscape professionals, hospitality procurement teams, and other commercial buyers. There is no order minimum and no volume tier; all approved trade accounts receive the same trade rate across the full collection. Apply for a trade account — we typically respond within one business day.
What are typical freight options for commercial projects?
FedEx Freight Direct curbside (with liftgate and appointment) is included on orders of $500+. Orders over $3,500 include curbside shipping & handling at no additional cost. White Glove placement, blind ship, and Certificate of Insurance (COI) requests are available. For multi-unit modular runs, contact our team to coordinate freight consolidation across SKUs.
Are returns allowed on custom-color orders?
Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery on standard-color items in original condition. Custom color match orders are made to your specification and aren't returnable. We confirm return eligibility in writing at time of quote so there are no surprises at delivery.
How quickly can you ship for a project deadline?
All six standard sizes and custom color matches ship in 1–2 weeks from our US facility. Spray-out samples add about one week. Custom shapes or sizes run 10–12 weeks. Out-of-stock base inventory (rare) runs 8–12 weeks. Exact dates are confirmed in writing before you commit.
Colors may render differently on screen than in person. For final color decisions, request a physical sample.

Shipping & Delivery
PPM QuickShip: standard finishes ship in 1–2 weeks. We stock and finish at our facilities in Skokie, IL and Henderson, NV, so standard orders leave our dock in 1–2 weeks; not the 6–8 weeks typical of made-to-order production. Bulk project orders (25+ units) ship on a confirmed schedule we set with you at order. Custom Pantone and RAL color matches add about 1 week. Fully custom shapes and sizes are built to order; we quote a project timeline at order. Free shipping on orders over $3,500. We ship to the continental United States.
Flat Rate Shipping & Handling
All retail and trade orders ship for one flat rate based on your order subtotal. Most orders ship via FedEx Freight Direct with Curbside Delivery (Liftgate & by appointment) included. Smaller orders ship via FedEx Ground.

Estimated Delivery
Most orders arrive 2–7 business days after they leave our facility, depending on destination. Standard items ship in 1–2 weeks; custom Pantone or RAL color matches add about 1 week. Fully custom shapes and sizes are built to order — we'll quote a project timeline at order.
What to expect with FedEx Freight Direct
Your large planter ships on a pallet via FedEx Freight Direct, a noticeable step up from generic LTL freight:
Want White Glove Delivery? Add it to your order at checkout for two-person delivery, placement in the room of your choice, and optional packaging removal. Available on orders $500+ in approximately 90% of the US — we'll confirm availability for your zip code.
Living in a condo, apartment, or high-rise? White Glove Delivery requires an available elevator (preferably a freight or service elevator) at the time of delivery. The FedEx team cannot carry planters up stairs. If your building requires elevator reservations, certificates of insurance, or specific delivery hours, please arrange these in advance. If elevator access is unavailable when FedEx arrives, the planter may be delivered to the building lobby or rescheduled at additional cost.
Inspect before signing. Open the pallet and check each planter at delivery. Note any visible damage on the FedEx delivery receipt before signing — this is the cleanest path to a fast resolution.
Smaller items — FedEx Ground
Some smaller planters and accessories under 150 lbs ship via FedEx Ground (commercial addresses) or FedEx Home Delivery (residential, including weekends). Standard FedEx tracking, no appointment required, no signature unless you request one. Typical transit: 1–5 business days. Your shipping confirmation email will indicate which carrier is handling your order.
If something arrives damaged
Fiberglass is durable, but freight happens. If you see damage at delivery:
We'll repair, replace, or credit at our discretion under our 3-year warranty. Concealed damage discovered after unpacking must be reported within 5 business days of delivery.
High-rise, condo, and apartment delivery
We deliver to multi-unit buildings every day, but a few things need to be in place for delivery to succeed:
Not sure whether your building can accommodate White Glove Delivery? Contact us before ordering — we'll help you choose the right service level.
Trade & job-site delivery
For landscape architects, designers, and commercial buyers:
Outside the continental US (AK, HI, Canada, international)
Orders to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, or international destinations can't be placed on this site. We work with freight forwarders for these regions — email sales@potsplantersandmore.com with your destination and we'll arrange a quote. FedEx Freight Direct also covers Canada, so cross-border quotes are usually quick.
Design Guidance
The 12" Modular Collection is built around a shared cross-section that lets a single architectural line stretch from a 12" corner cube through a 72" full-length row. The 12" depth tucks the planter close to walls, railings, and fence lines — the geometry that makes the line work on balconies, narrow patios, and tight commercial frontages. Mixed lengths in a single specified color read as architecture; mixed lengths in different colors read as styling.
Where the 12" Modular works
Indoor
- Lobbies and reception areas as a low-profile divider between zones.
- Hospitality interiors — restaurant tabletops, hotel lounge edges, member-club perimeters.
- Showroom and gallery floors aligned with display walls.
- Corporate floors as soft architectural lines between desks or seating zones.
Outdoor
- Balcony and small-patio edges along railings.
- Restaurant patio dividers between tables or along property lines.
- Residential entries, side yards, and pool surrounds along walls and fence lines.
- Rooftop terrace perimeters and storefront frontages.
Choosing the right size or combination
| Setting | Recommended size(s) | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Corner cap or accent | M69400.C (12×12×18) | Terminates a row, anchors a corner, or stands alone as a small accent. |
| Balcony or small patio edge | M69400.24 or M69400.36 | Fits along railings and tight floor spans without crowding seating. |
| Residential entry flanking | Paired M69400.36 or M69400.48 | Frames a door at horizontal scale; the 12" depth keeps the entry path open. |
| Restaurant patio divider between tables | M69400.36 or M69400.48 | Reads as a planted partition without committing to a wall. |
| Long property line or facade alignment | M69400.60 or M69400.72 in a row | Architectural rhythm at horizontal scale, with corner caps to close the run. |
| Rooftop terrace perimeter | Combination of M69400.60 + M69400.72 + M69400.C corners | Mix lengths to fit the perimeter geometry; specify a single color and gloss for architectural read. |
Finish & color strategy
- Low Gloss: reads as a soft satin, hides surface texture, sits quietly in residential and hospitality interiors.
- High Gloss: reflective and architectural, pops against modern facades and stone, ideal for branded retail and hospitality.
- Custom color match: Pantone or RAL only. Brand standards in Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams are converted to the closest Pantone or RAL on our end (direct paint-brand matching tops out around 80% accuracy).
In modular runs, specify a single color and gloss across all SKUs to read as architecture. Mixed colors in a row read as styling and break the line.
Planting & specifying
- Drainage: pick "pre-drilled" for outdoor; pick "no drainage" indoors and use a saucer or liner.
- Soil & weight: filled weights run from ~104 lb on the 12" corner cube to ~602 lb on the 72" (80% fill, saturated potting soil at 85 lb/ft3). For multi-unit runs on balconies and rooftops, sum the filled weights and coordinate with your structural engineer before delivery.
- Plant pairings: boxwood, ornamental grasses, herbs, perennials, small ornamental shrubs, mounding succulents, and trailing material — the 18" overall height and 12" depth are sized for low-mounding and cascading rather than tall vertical specimens. For tall vertical screening, see the Amesbury (32" tall) or Perth (privacy-tall).
- Lighting: grazed lighting along a row reads the alignment of mixed lengths; uplighting from a path or rail edge reads the planted material.
Specifying & documentation
- Spec sheet and configuration documentation available on request — the 12" Modular Collection is based on the Miami rectangular series and shares its specifications.
- Expanded CAD and BIM files are in development. Email the team for current availability.
- Architects, designers, and procurement teams: apply for trade pricing.
Project support
For specified projects, we coordinate lead times to your install schedule, ship blind on request, provide a Certificate of Insurance, and quote White Glove placement when curbside isn't enough. All six standard sizes and custom color matches ship in 1–2 weeks; spray-out samples add about a week; custom shapes or sizes run 10–12 weeks.
- Standard sizes: 1–2 weeks for any of our 40 standard finishes (20 colors × Low Gloss / High Gloss).
- Custom color match: 1–2 weeks; Pantone or RAL only.
- Spray-out sample before production: add about 1 week.
- Custom shape or size: 10–12 weeks for fully custom planters built to spec.
- Out-of-stock base: 8–12 weeks. Rare.
Built to last: commercial-grade fiberglass with a UV-stable, frost-resistant automotive-grade finish. Backed by our 3-year limited warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
The collection spans 18 size combinations. Lengths are available in 12", 24", 36", 48", 60", and 72", paired with heights of 18", 24", or 32", all at a consistent 12" width. Designers and contractors can mix lengths and heights along a single run without breaking the visual line.
Yes. The flat-sided profile and consistent 12" width are built for modular arrangement. Units can be placed end to end along balcony railings, patio perimeters, or lobby walls, and the consistent height options keep the roofline clean across the entire installation. This is why the collection ranks for searches like "modular planter boxes" and "modular planter."
The 12" depth fits balconies, narrow patios, and tight urban ledges without projecting into foot traffic areas. The 18" height option keeps the center of gravity low, which is useful on elevated decks.
All units are hand-painted in over 40 matte and gloss UV-resistant finishes, including Low Gloss, High Gloss, Distressed, and Sand textures. Signature colors include Antique White, Gloss White, Grey, and Charcoal, among others. Color swatches can be ordered before purchase to confirm the match for your project.
Yes. All planters are crafted from commercial-grade fiberglass and finished with automotive-grade paint that resists UV fading, freeze-thaw cycles, wind, and rain. When the drainage holes are open or properly plugged before freezing temperatures, the planter will not crack or warp over winter. No sealers or coatings are needed.
You choose at checkout. Select "Yes Drainage Holes" for outdoor use, holes are pre-drilled and ready to plant. Select "No Drainage Holes" for indoor installations, and use a removable liner or saucer to protect floors. Drainage holes cannot be added after purchase, so choose carefully.
