Create height and structure in the garden with Danish modular solutions
Tall planters from GRÖNFELD are the perfect tool for creating vertical interest and spatial division in your outdoor areas. Height doesn't just provide a striking architectural expression that complements modern buildings; it’s also about ergonomics and functionality. A tall planter raises the bed to a height where you can weed and harvest without straining your back. Our tall models are built around the same flexible modular system as the rest of our range, meaning you can stack and combine elements to achieve the exact height your project requires.
Stability and strength in tall constructions
When building vertically, the pressure from the soil against the sides of the box increases. This is where GRÖNFELD’s Danish engineering truly shines. Our PRO series in 2 mm aluminum is particularly well-suited for tall beds, as the extra thickness ensures the sides do not bulge under the weight. For professional installations in urban spaces or restaurant environments, the option for bolt-assembly in the corners provides extra security. Even if you choose the lighter Classic series at 1.5 mm, our click-system and precision bends ensure a surprisingly strong construction that maintains its shape year after year.
Design options: From discreet Black to striking Rust-lacquer
The tall surfaces of these planters provide ample opportunity to let the materials speak for themselves. Our "Rust-lacquer" is incredibly popular for tall beds, as it offers the warm, organic look of Corten steel but with the advantages of aluminum: no rust staining on tiles and extreme corrosion protection. If you prefer a more disciplined and classic look, our black finish with a 10-year rust guarantee is a safe choice. For projects where the planters must be an integrated part of a color concept, we offer "Design your own color," where all RAL Classic shades are available.
Use as windbreaks and room dividers
Tall planters are ideal as natural windbreaks on the terrace. By choosing a tall model, you can plant evergreen shrubs or tall grasses that create both shelter and privacy. To optimize growth in these large volumes, we recommend using the WaterUps self-watering system. Since tall boxes contain a lot of soil, they can hold significant amounts of moisture, and the self-watering system ensures the water effectively reaches the roots at the bottom. If the box is placed on a wooden deck, you should consider mounting legs or wheels to allow air to circulate under the box and protect the wood from rot.
Worth knowing about tall planters
- How high can you build? Thanks to the modular construction, we can assemble boxes in many heights. Contact us for advice on stability for very tall projects.
- Do they require more watering? Since there is more soil, they retain moisture better than small boxes, but surface evaporation remains the same. Self-watering is always a good investment for large beds.
- Are they difficult to assemble yourself? No, our click-system works in the same simple way regardless of height. You assemble the modules step-by-step without the use of tools.
