Why This Window Box Stands Apart
True metal planter: Naturally resistant to rust and corrosion.
Hand-finished copper look: Electroplated, hand-rubbed rustic finish, and sealed for warmth and depth.
Structural integrity: Thick iron frame provides long-term stability.
Designed for healthy plants: Wide opening + drainage holes support root health.
Secure mounting: The 48" model includes 4 brackets for stable installation.
Materials & Care
Finish process: The metal planter is electroplated with a copper finish, hand-rubbed for rustic texture, then sealed with a clear protective coat. The frame and brackets are finished with a black powder coat.
Optional annual protection: Apply a clear spray sealant (inside and outside) once a year to help preserve the finish’s appearance—especially in harsher climates.
Avoid constant overflow: Water spilling over the sides may cause spotting depending on minerals, chlorine, or soil additives.
Not for fountains: These planters are not designed for continual water exposure.
Winter storage: Optional. Clean with mild soap + water, dry thoroughly, then store if preferred.
Mounting note: Brackets are not designed for metal railings. For railing mounting, explore HoldItMate® systems.
Recommended Plants for Window Boxes
Window boxes look best when planted with a “thriller + filler + spiller” approach—one or two focal plants, supporting texture, and trailing greenery for movement.
