About Big Metal Planters

Handmade In Wisconsin

Our team cuts, forms, welds, and finishes every planter in our shop. We build with Corten weathering steel and high-grade 5052 aluminum, using heavy guage walls and sturdy internal framing engineered for heavy soil loads and cold-weather conditions.

The result is a planter with tight seams, a clean top edge, and a structure that hold its shape season after season.

Made To Order, Not Off The Shelf

We do not build a warehouse full of standard sizes and hope one fits. Every planter is fabricated after you order it, to the shape, dimensions, material, wall style, finish, and bed depth you choose. That is why the configurator asks for exact measurements instead of offering a few preset sizes.

Who We Serve

We build for homeowners who want a planter that fits a specific space. We also build for landscape designers, contractors, developers, and commercial properties, including rooftop decks, courtyards, restaurants, and multi-unit projects.

If a project needs a size, shape, or quantity that does not fit the online configurator, we can usually still build it. Send us the details and we will work through the design with you.

Our Approach

We would rather build one planter that fits exactly than sell a cookie-cutter product that almost works. That approach applies to custom fabrication, to professional projects, and to the planters you can configure online.
