Fiberglass and composite planters need special care. Please see ‘tips and care’

• Caution must be exercised when moving planters. These planters are made of many moulded pieces which can be stressed and produce cracks, if pushed or pulled.
• The larger the planter, the greater the risk to its integrity if pushed or pulled. It is recommended that planters be emptied prior to moving.

Since all of our planters are made for outdoor use, they all come with drainage holes. These steps will make your planter ready for indoor use:

• Plug holes
• Line the entire inside of the planter with a 3-5ml poly, or
• Add an appropriate layer of lava rock to create sufficient
• Add 1 layer of landscape cloth over the drainage material
• Use sterilized indoor potting soil plastic drainage (lava rock or non-biodegrading styrofoam peanuts)

• Although we carry a handful of saucers (smaller sizes), the use of saucers can seriously impede proper drainage of planters. Due to this reason, we highly recommend that saucers not be used in outdoor applications.
• If your planters are in a completely covered area, let us know and we can offer suggestions.

We certainly can! There are, however, higher costs involved with this process: creating a new mould, and potentially higher shipping costs. We will sit down with you to discuss the whole process and expected results. Please keep in mind, custom orders are non-refundable.

We have been developing our own fiberglass and resin product lines for years. All of our products are only offered through our store. But, we can deliver just about anywhere!

• The process begins with a design, which then produces the sculpture. A casting is then taken of the sculpture, in order to create the mould. The shape of the sculpture, will require a varying number of mould pieces to create each planter.
• Our planters are made from high-grade fiberglass or resin-based composites.
