Trellis planters are often used to grow climbing plants such as roses, vines, clematis and climbing hydrangea. The trellis acts as a support for the plants and helps them grow upwards instead of spreading out over the ground. Trellis planters can be used in a variety of settings, including as a decorative feature in a garden, on a patio or balcony, or as a screen or separation between different areas in an outdoor space.

You can create a space for peace and relaxation if you have a small garden or terrace. Here you can use planters and trellises to create this small space. Place the boxes as a screen and plant flowers and plants to create a beautiful and calming atmosphere.

Which plants are best suited to this type of planter? There are many plants to choose from, but here are some suggestions for plants that will thrive in a trellis planter box.

• Climbing plants are ideal for growing up the trellis and creating a green and flowering wall.
• Clematis, creeping rose, honeysuckle and climbing hydrangea are all examples of climbing plants that will thrive in trellis planters. These plants don't require a lot of space but will grow fast and close together on the trellis, creating a beautiful and lush wall.
• Flowering perennials are a popular type of plant that will thrive in a trellis planter.
• Bell vine, lupine, poppy and perennial sunhat are all examples of flowering perennials that are suitable for this type of box. These plants will provide a colorful and vibrant wall that will be beautiful to look at all summer long.
• Vegetables, although it may not be the first thing that comes to mind, vegetables can also be grown in trellis planters.
• Tomatoes, cucumbers, beans and peas are all great examples of vegetables that will climb up the trellis and produce a high yield in a small space. These plants require regular watering and fertilizing, but will provide fresh and healthy vegetables that you can enjoy all summer long.
• Smaller trees and shrubs can also be grown in trellis planters.
• You can try small fruit trees like apple trees or peach trees, or shrubs like blueberries or blackberries. These plants will require more space than the others on this list, but will provide a beautiful and varied wall that will look great all year round.
• Ornamental grasses are beautiful and elegant plants that can create movement and texture in your garden.
• Feather grass, bluestem and bamboo are examples of ornamental grasses that are suitable for trellis planters. These plants are low maintenance, but will provide beautiful and gentle movement in your garden.

It's important to remember that trellis planters require regular maintenance to ensure the plants thrive and grow healthily. It's important to give the plants enough water and fertilizer and to prune them regularly so they don't overgrow.

We recommend washing with lukewarm soapy water after installation to remove the oil film. Within a few weeks, depending on precipitation, the rusting process will begin. If you are impatient, the process can be accelerated by a wash followed by a salt water spray.

Corten steel is a unique material, it is a corrosion-resistant steel that develops a rustic surface when exposed to the elements. This surface protects the steel from further rusting, making it an ideal material for outdoor use.

Corten steel also has the unique property of changing color over time, giving a rustic and natural look to your garden environment. This can provide a beautiful contrast to the surroundings and create a unique look in your garden.

Corten steel lasts up to 8 times longer than regular steel. The climate in which corten steel is used plays a significant role in its durability. In optimal conditions, corten steel in gardens will last over 50 years, while salty air will negatively affect its lifespan.

Does corten steel rust on the underlying surface?

Corten steel has minimal corrosion resistance compared to regular steel. However, it will always stain the surface slightly at the beginning of the rusting process.

Therefore, when placed on tiles or wood, we recommend a base plate. There are drainage holes in the base plate and the box will be raised approx. 5 mm from the surface to allow water to drain away. On concrete tiles, rust can easily be removed with oxalic acid.

Will the steel damage the plants?

You can grow and plant all kinds of vegetables and plants in this planter. Steel is a natural material and will not release toxic substances to your vegetables. If you are still in doubt, we recommend lining the box with a plastic sheet, polystyrene, insulation mat or similar. This will also insulate the soil from the sides of the box and extend its lifespan.

Corten steel is generally not harmful to plants as it is a corrosion-resistant material that does not release harmful chemicals or metals. However, it may be important to check the PH of the soil and add soil conditioners if necessary, as corten steel can tend to lower the PH of the soil.

It's also important to ensure good drainage in planters and raised beds, as Corten steel can rust if it is persistently wet.

It's also recommended to prune the plants regularly and ensure good ventilation in the planter boxes and raised beds so that the plants don't suffocate from excess moisture.
