Outdoor Planters

You likely have never really thought too much about the differences between indoor and outdoor planters, but there are a variety of differences and this blog post will discuss the features you should look for in an outdoor planter. The biggest difference between indoor and outdoor planters is that outdoor planters are designed to withstand various weather conditions, including rain, snow, and fluctuations in temperature. They also need to be more resistant to UV rays and the fading that can occur as a result. Our outdoor self-watering planters are made from materials that are durable and resistant to the effects of outdoor elements. Specifically, Urbanscape outdoor planters are all constructed using state of the art polyethylene material.

Polyethylene planters are far more resistant to damage than traditional indoor planters. This includes damage from the elements, including extreme temperatures, UV radiation, and moisture. Polyethylene planters are more crack resistant and rot proof. Unlike indoor planters, all of our planters are 4 season durable and they are a lot less likely to be damaged by freezing and thawing.

To help you make your decision on which planters are the best for your space, here are some features and materials commonly associated with all-weather planters:

Material- Resin or Polyethylene: Planters made from resin or polyethylene are known for their durability and resistance to harsh weather conditions. These materials can withstand UV rays, moisture, and temperature variations.

UV Resistance: Exposure to sunlight can cause fading and damage to some materials. UV-resistant planters maintain their color and structural integrity even after prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Freeze-Resistance: In regions with cold winters, planters need to withstand freezing temperatures without cracking or breaking. Materials like frost-resistant plastics and certain metals can be suitable for such conditions.

Design: While functionality is crucial, all-weather planters often come in various designs and styles to complement different outdoor spaces.

When shopping for all-weather planters, it’s essential to read product specifications and choose ones that meet your specific climate conditions and aesthetic preferences. Additionally, proper care and maintenance can extend the lifespan of these planters and keep them looking good in any weather.

There are other considerations to take into account when thinking about purchasing outdoor planters for your space.

Drain Free Winterization- all of our Urbanscape planters feature the easiest winterization process imaginable. Unlike many more traditional outdoor planters, our planters do not require draining before freezing weather. Our polyethylene planters can handle freezing and thawing and this saves you from having to drain all of your planters at season’s end.

No Moving Parts or Synthetic Materials- some of our competitors planters use pumps or parts that require maintenance and replacement. Our self-watering planters are completely free of moving parts. They use the natural wicking qualities of water to keep your plants healthy from the bottom up. There is no easier system than our tried and tested self-watering technology.
