Planters.co.uk's zinc planters are made from high quality and durable Aluzinc. Its chemical composition and manufacturing process means it won't rust easily and is sturdy yet lightweight, making it a perfect material for planters.

Aluzinc is a combination of aluminium and zinc, typically in a ratio of approximately 55% aluminium and 45% zinc. It provides enhanced durability and corrosion resistance compared to traditional galvanized steel, as the aluminium provides a protective barrier, while the zinc offers cathodic protection.

While not completely rust-proof, our zinc planters are made from Aluzinc which corrodes at a much slower rate than many other metals. Our aluzinc planters are electroplated for rust and corrosion resistance, however avoiding scratches is important as well as using liners inside the planter.
