Planter Boxes. Large Outdoor Planters and Garden Pots Australia
Planter Boxes have a long history, dating back to ancient Egypt as early as 5,000 BC, where they were used to transport plants between locations. This was crucial for cultivating crops and ornamental plants in gardens. They utilised materials like terracotta, stone, metal, and wood, showcasing resourcefulness and adaptability.
The Renaissance saw a surge in the aesthetic use of planter boxes, as they became status symbols for the aristocracy, with elaborate designs and ornamentation. Sigma Planters offers a more functional, yet equally appealing, range of modern fibreglass landscape containers for building and horticulture planter box projects Australia-wide.

• Improper care: Damage caused by improper handling or use, such as blistering paint from leaving packaging on for more than 7 days, will void the warranty.
• Modifications: Our planters are designed for stability on flat surfaces. Adding large, external feet that don’t provide full base support can cause bowing and void the warranty.

The Moscow charcoal planter box presents my home entrance well. I have several products in this brand I purchased 3 years ago and the colour has not changed. They are still stunning and as new. I highly recommend them.
