Elegance and functionality with elevated planters
Planters on legs from GRÖNFELD combine minimalist Scandinavian design with practical benefits for both the plants and the surface below. By choosing a model on legs, you lift your plants to a height that makes them more visible and easier to maintain, while adding a sense of lightness to the outdoor space. Visually, a terrace appears less "heavy" when the floor surface is visible beneath the planters. Like our other products, these boxes are manufactured in Denmark from high-quality aluminum, ensuring a long lifespan and a finish that perfectly complements modern architecture.
Protect your terrace with proper ventilation
One of the primary technical reasons to choose planters on legs is the protection of the underlying surface. This is especially critical on wooden decks. When a planter sits directly on the woodwork, it creates a damp environment where water cannot evaporate. Over time, this inevitably leads to rot and discoloration of the wood. By elevating the box on legs, you ensure constant airflow (the "Move Green with Ease" principle), which keeps the terrace dry and healthy. It is a small design detail that makes a massive difference to the overall lifespan of your decking.
Modular construction and material strength
Our system allows you to customize the leg height and the size of the box according to your specific needs.
- Classic Series: Crafted from 1.5 mm aluminum, perfect for private gardens. The legs are elegant yet strong enough for all standard garden plants.
- PRO Series: Here, we use 2 mm aluminum and extra-reinforced legs. The PRO models are designed for public spaces where they must withstand heavier loads.
Both series benefit from our unique click-system, allowing for tool-free assembly. Although the boxes are delivered unassembled to optimize transport and protect the environment, it only takes a few minutes to get them ready for soil and plants.
Color selection and durability
GRÖNFELD offers a 10-year rust guarantee on all painted items, including boxes and legs in our standard colors: Black and Rust-lacquer (Corten look). Aluminum does not rust like iron, but our specially developed coating provides C3-class corrosion protection, as known from professional construction. If you wish to match your planters with your house's window frames or garden furniture, you can order them in any RAL Classic color. Please note that custom colors have a lead time of 2-3 weeks and are non-returnable as they are produced specifically for your order.
Frequently asked questions about planters on legs
- How much weight can the legs support? Our legs are dimensioned to match the size of the box. The PRO series legs are specifically reinforced for large volumes, while the Classic legs are ideal for standard plant sizes.
- Do planters on legs come with a base? Yes, to hold the soil at an elevated height, planters on legs are always delivered with a base. In the PRO series, this is a reinforced, black-lacquered galvanized plate.
- Can I use WaterUps in planters on legs? Absolutely. The system is prepared for self-watering, which is a significant advantage as elevated boxes can dry out slightly faster due to the airflow beneath the base.
