Take your time when making a selection. There are many styles and
materials to choose from. Knowing your requirements before you start
shopping will save time, prevent frustration, and best of all, save
money. Follow these tips for choosing the best metal planter:
- Decide what the planter will hold. Choose a container that
will accommodate the roots of the tropical tree, shrub, or plant when
it reaches maturity.

think twice about buying a heavy metal planter. Consider a fiberglass
container that provides the look and feel of metal without the weight
restrictions.

following:
- The plant(s) that will reside in the container.
- The location you choose for the container.
- The design and style of your garden, landscape, or home.
- Choose a material and/or texture that will complement your
landscape as well as the style of your home. Metal planters are
available in a variety of materials, styles, and textures. If you
cannot find a pre-made planter that fits your needs, you can have one
custom-made to your specifications.

- Large, thick metal containers are heavy, so be sure to
install them properly. Some pieces may require special equipment for
handling.

double potting or you can drill drainage holes yourself.
