Steel Planter Boxes
The wide range, commercial quality and ease of installation make SHAPESCAPER modular steel planter boxes a preferred choice in garden design for both professional and DIY landscapers.
The planter range is available in either a 500mm or 700mm profile with both profile heights featuring smooth rounded edges with a 40mm x 20mm return top edge for added strength and safety. SHAPESCAPER steel planter boxes are typically supplied without bases to allow for free draining. Planters can be supplied with custom bases and feet suitable for rooftop and patio installations.
SHAPESCAPER steel planters are supplied in two easily joined halves, this allows for compact transport and single handed installation making the SHAPESCAPER range of customisable planters the perfect landscaping design solution for even the most complex builds. SHAPESCAPER planters are self supporting with installation completed by simply aligning the predrilled holes and then securing the supplied fasteners.
Steel Planter Boxes Built for Australian Landscapes
SHAPESCAPER modular steel planter boxes are manufactured in Australia using BlueScope Redcor weathering steel. Perfect for Australian landcapes, both the SHAPESCAPER Hexagon and Box planters can easily be customised on site to fit a wide range of designs simply by using additional stock extension and corner sections. The modular design enables the planters to adapt to any configuration with extender panels available in 600mm, 1200mm, 1800mm and 2400mm increments. Corner sections are available for internal and external configurations to suit all of the 24 stock planters in the SHAPESCAPER range.
Straight length extenders and 90° corners are typically used to modify box planters while the 60° corners are commonly used to modify hexagon planters. The planter system is however completely modular, being totally interchangeable across the range, even when joining the 500mm and 700mm profiles.

Steel Planter Design Ideas
Modern Minimalism: Pair steel box planters with sleek, modern furniture and a reduced colour palette to create a minimalist aesthetic. The clean lines and rustic finish of the planters easily complement contemporary styling introducing a warm and relaxed element to the design.
Reclaimed Chic: Combine SHAPESCAPER steel box planters with rustic-style decor, such as garden furniture featuring reclaimed wood and stone. Incorporate vintage items like old metal watering cans, antique garden tools, or repurposed industrial objects as decorative elements around your steel planters. These pieces enhance the reclaimed aesthetic and add character to your space.
Use Textural Plants: Choose plants with interesting textures that complement the rustic look of the steel planters. Succulents, ornamental grasses, or trailing vines can add softness and contrast to the hard edges of the planters.
Incorporate Natural Stone: Surround your steel planters with natural stone elements like river rocks, pebbles, or larger boulders. This combination of materials creates a harmonious balance between industrial and natural aesthetics.
Create Levels: Use the different profile heights available throughout the SHAPESCAPER range to build layers and establish different levels in your design.
Green Oasis: Create a lush, green oasis by grouping several steel hexagonal planters together. Mix and match different plant species to add variety and texture, transforming your space into a vibrant garden retreat.
Steel Box Planters are an excellent choice for those looking to add a touch of modern elegance to their garden displays. They add a long-lasting and attractive feature around homes, gardens and public spaces, providing a perfect blend of form and function.
