Potsdam Large Rectangular Fiberglass Planter Box

Product Details

The Potsdam is a long rectangular fiberglass planter box built for commercial perimeters and architectural privacy screens. Six lengths from 16" to 72" share the same 16" depth and 32" height, so a patio edge, rooftop run, or hospitality entry frames out with a consistent visual line. 20 standard colors, each available in Low Gloss or High Gloss — 40 finish options total. Custom color matching available to any Pantone or RAL reference. Quick ship in 1–2 weeks on standard finishes, backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

Curbside shipping & handling included on orders over $3,500. Liftgate included on individual freight shipments. Sizes may vary up to 2%; weights are approximations.

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.

Material & finish

Molded commercial-grade fiberglass with hand-painted automotive-grade finishes. Lightweight relative to concrete or stone, dimensionally stable, and engineered to resist warping, cracking, and fading through full sun, rain, and freeze–thaw cycles. Available in 20 standard colors in Low Gloss or High Gloss (40 finish options total) and custom-matched to any Pantone or RAL code.

Indoor or outdoor + drainage

Choose no holes for indoor lobbies, atriums, and reception areas, or pre-drilled drainage for any outdoor installation. For privacy plantings, drainage is recommended — long rectangular boxes hold significant moisture, and outdoor fiberglass tolerates rain, sun, and freeze-thaw cycles when drained properly.

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 72" lands near 1,325 lb filled, and the 60" near 1,105 lb. For rooftop terraces, elevated patios, and interior office floors, confirm load capacity with your structural engineer or building manager.
Layout planning: use 60" and 72" lengths for long linear runs and privacy screens. Use 16" and 24" lengths for corners, transitions, and shorter accent placements. The fixed 16" × 32" cross-section means you can mix lengths in a project without breaking the visual line.
Access path: 60" and 72" units require corridor, stair, and elevator clearance to the install location. Confirm access dimensions before delivery, especially for hotel and rooftop projects.
Drainage decision: indoor use is typically "no drainage" with a saucer or basin under the root ball. Outdoor use, and especially privacy plantings, should be "pre-drilled" to prevent freeze damage and root rot. Long rectangular boxes hold more water than tall narrow forms — drainage matters more here.
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 spray-out and approval. 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.
Lead time caveats: standard finishes 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.
Multi-unit orders: for runs of 4+ units, request finish-consistency confirmation before production. Single-batch production keeps color, sheen, and texture matched across the order.

Trade Buyers Usually Ask

What sizes does the Potsdam rectangular planter come in?

Six lengths: 16", 24", 36", 48", 60", and 72". All sizes share the same 16" depth and 32" height, which means you can mix lengths across a project without breaking the visual line. See the Sizes & pricing table above for full dimensions, planting openings, capacity, empty weight, filled-weight estimate, and price by SKU.

Can the Potsdam be used as a privacy screen or space divider?

Yes — that’s its primary commercial use. The 32" height combined with mature upright plantings (clumping bamboo, Italian cypress, columnar boxwood, ornamental grasses, or ficus indoors) creates a true privacy screen. The 60" and 72" lengths are most common for screening; the 48" works for shorter spans. Plant 1–2 upright structural plants per linear foot depending on species — Italian cypress and clumping bamboo at the wider spacing, columnar boxwood and ornamental grasses at the tighter spacing.

Is the Potsdam suitable for rooftops, patios, and outdoor commercial spaces?

Yes. The Potsdam is built from commercial-grade fiberglass with an automotive-grade UV-stable, frost-resistant finish, and is in active service across hotel pool decks, restaurant patios, rooftop terraces, and corporate courtyards. For rooftop and elevated installations, confirm structural load capacity with your engineer — filled weights run from ~300 lb (16") to ~1,325 lb (72"). For all outdoor use, choose pre-drilled drainage to prevent water from pooling and freezing.

Should I choose drainage holes for indoor or outdoor use?

Indoor placements are typically "no drainage" paired with a saucer or basin under the root ball. Outdoor placements should always be "pre-drilled" to prevent root rot, water buildup, and freeze damage. For privacy plantings outdoors, drainage matters even more — long rectangular boxes hold significantly more water than tall narrow forms. Both options are free and selected at order.

Can I match the color to a brand, RAL, Pantone, or designer finish?

Yes. We match any Pantone or RAL code — 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 match, all spray-outs needed to confirm, and your choice of Low Gloss or High Gloss for that color. If your brand color lives in Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, or another paint system, convert to the nearest Pantone or RAL equivalent before submitting — cross-system conversions are typically only 80% accurate. For multi-unit orders (4+ units), single-batch production locks finish consistency across the run.

How quickly will the Potsdam ship?

Standard finishes 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. For project deadlines, contact our team to align production with your install schedule.

What are typical freight options for commercial multi-unit orders?

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 — typical for multi-unit Potsdam orders. White Glove placement, blind ship, and Certificate of Insurance (COI) requests are available. For job-site delivery, multi-pallet drops, or coordinated install dates, contact our team to align lead times with your project schedule.

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:

2-hour delivery windows — morning or evening, your choice
Text and email notifications when your shipment is scheduled, the day of delivery, and 30 minutes before the truck arrives
Curbside Delivery — Curbside, with a liftgate, along with an appointment (included on every retail order)

Signature required at delivery — please have someone 18+ available

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:

Note it on the FedEx delivery receipt before signing — the driver will wait while you inspect.
Photograph the damage — pallet, packaging, and planter.
Email sales@potsplantersandmore.com within 48 hours with photos and your order number.

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:

Reserve your building's freight or service elevator for your delivery window. Most buildings require 24–72 hours' notice and may restrict deliveries to weekday business hours.
Confirm the elevator can fit the planter — box is approximately 2" bigger than the planter dimensions. Measure your elevator and unit doorway before ordering.
Certificate of Insurance (COI) — many buildings require one before any vendor enters. We can request a COI from FedEx — email sales@potsplantersandmore.com at least 5 business days before delivery.
If the elevator isn't available when FedEx arrives, the planter may be delivered to the lobby or rescheduled at additional cost.

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:

Job-site delivery — provide site contact, hours, and any access restrictions at order
Coordinated delivery — we'll schedule finishing your planters to coordinate with your install dates
Blind ship — no PPM branding on pallet or packing slip for trade clients managing end-customer relationships
Certificate of Insurance (COI) — available on request for sites that require one
Inside delivery, white-glove, or installation coordination — available on request, quoted per project

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 Potsdam reads as a linear architectural element rather than a single decorative object. In pairs it frames an entry. In runs of three to six it builds patio edges, rooftop perimeters, and pool deck screens. Across long hospitality and corporate placements, it defines circulation and privacy. What follows is a guide to placement, layout, finish strategy, and planting.

Where the Potsdam works

Indoor

Lobbies and reception areas, dividing zones or framing seating clusters.
Hospitality interiors — restaurant dining dividers, hotel lounge zoning, member club partitions.
Corporate floors as soft architecture between collaboration and circulation areas.
Cafe-style office environments, showrooms, and retail floor dividers.

Outdoor

Restaurant and hotel patio perimeters and dining boundaries.
Rooftop terraces, podium decks, and pool deck privacy screens.
Office courtyards, plaza edges, and commercial entry framing.
Walkway and streetscape borders for retail and hospitality frontage.
Luxury residential patios, pool surrounds, and yard zoning.

Choosing the right size

Setting	Recommended size(s)	Why it works
Entry accent or short corner	16×16×32 or 24×16×32	Defines a transition without taking floor space.
Residential patio or balcony edge	36×16×32 or 48×16×32	Reads at human scale; manageable empty weight for residential placement.
Restaurant patio divider	48×16×32 or 60×16×32	Tall enough to define seating zones; long enough to span a table run.
Hotel pool deck or entry frame	60×16×32 or 72×16×32	Holds presence at hospitality scale; fewer joints across a long perimeter.
Rooftop or terrace privacy screen	60×16×32 or 72×16×32	32" height with mature plantings creates a true screen; confirm structural load.
Lobby zoning or office courtyard	Mix 48×16×32 and 72×16×32	Mixed lengths break up long corridors while keeping a consistent visual line.

Finish & color strategy

Low Gloss: reads as soft satin, sits quietly in lobbies, hospitality interiors, and contemporary residential settings.
High Gloss: reflective and architectural, pops against modern facades, stone, and glass — ideal for branded retail, hospitality entries, and rooftop visibility.
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).
Multi-unit consistency: for runs of 4+ units, request a finish-consistency confirmation before production. Single-batch production keeps color, sheen, and texture matched across the order.

Mixing finishes is a deliberate move that reads as designed — a low-gloss charcoal alternated with a high-gloss white can rhythm out a long perimeter.

Planting & specifying

Drainage: pick "pre-drilled" for outdoor; pick "no drainage" indoors and use a saucer or liner. Long rectangular boxes hold more water than tall narrow forms — drainage matters more here.
Soil & weight: filled weights run from ~300 lb on the 16" to ~1,325 lb on the 72" (80% fill, saturated potting soil at 85 lb/ft³). Coordinate rooftop, deck, or balcony load review before delivery.
Privacy plantings: the 13" interior width and 32" height suit upright structural plants — clumping bamboo, Italian cypress, columnar boxwood, dwarf ornamental grasses (feather reed grass, fountain grass), or ficus columns for indoor lobbies. Plant 1–2 uprights per linear foot depending on species — Italian cypress and clumping bamboo at the wider spacing, columnar boxwood and ornamental grasses at the tighter spacing.
Lower-maintenance options: mix structural uprights with trailing pothos, ivy, or low ornamental grasses to soften the rectangular form.

Frequently Asked Questions

For most commercial Potsdam orders, the unit prices in the Sizes & pricing table above are the only line items. Curbside freight with liftgate and appointment is included on every individual freight shipment, and orders over $3,500 ship with curbside shipping & handling at no additional cost — which covers most multi-unit Potsdam runs. Custom color matching adds a small per-color fee (covers Pantone or RAL match, all spray-out approvals, and your choice of Low Gloss or High Gloss for that color), and White Glove placement is an optional $199 upgrade. Trade pricing applies to qualifying designers, architects, landscape professionals, and hospitality procurement teams — apply for a trade account.

Multi-property programs are a regular use case for the Potsdam — hotel groups, restaurant chains, and corporate campuses standardizing perimeter and patio elements across locations. Three things matter for these orders: finish consistency across batches (request single-batch production for runs of 4+ units; we lock color, sheen, and texture across the order), coordinated delivery windows (we schedule production to align with property install dates), and blind-ship options for trade clients managing end-customer relationships. For programs spanning multiple ship dates, we hold finish records on file so reorders 6–12 months out match the original spec. Contact our project team for program pricing and rollout coordination.

The Potsdam is ready to plant directly — commercial-grade fiberglass holds soil, water, and root systems without an internal liner. For indoor placements where you choose the "no holes" option, place a saucer or shallow basin under the root ball to catch any incidental moisture and protect floors. For outdoor placements with pre-drilled drainage, no saucer is needed; rain and irrigation drain through. If you're using a removable nursery pot drop-in (common in hospitality interiors where plants get rotated seasonally), the 13" interior width accommodates standard 12" or 14" nursery containers.

For specified projects, we provide a Potsdam spec sheet PDF with all dimensions, planting openings, capacities, empty and filled-weight estimates, and finish options — suitable for submittals and design packages. Expanded CAD and BIM files are in development; email the team for current availability and timeline. For projects requiring a Certificate of Insurance for site delivery, we coordinate that with FedEx on request (allow 5 business days). For load planning on rooftops, podium decks, and elevated terraces, the filled-weight estimates in the Sizes & pricing table assume 80% fill of saturated potting soil at 85 lb/ft³ — share the table values with your structural engineer for review.

Inspect every pallet at delivery before signing — the FedEx driver will wait while you check. Note any visible damage on the FedEx delivery receipt, photograph the pallet, packaging, and planter, and email sales@potsplantersandmore.com within 48 hours with photos and your order number. Concealed damage discovered after unpacking must be reported within 5 business days. Under our 3-year limited warranty, we repair, replace, or credit at our discretion. For active job sites, we recommend scheduling delivery for a date when an authorized site contact is on the ground to inspect — this is the cleanest path to a fast resolution.

Commercial-grade fiberglass with an automotive-grade UV-stable, frost-resistant finish — in active service for years across hotel pool decks, restaurant patios, rooftop terraces, and corporate courtyards. No sealers or recoating required. For maintenance: wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive cleaners that can dull the finish over time. For freezing climates, ensure pre-drilled drainage stays clear so water doesn't pool and freeze inside the planter. The 3-year limited warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship from the date of delivery; weather extremes, accidents, modifications, and improper use are not covered. For high-traffic placements where surface scuffing is a concern, High Gloss tends to clean up more easily than Low Gloss.
