LITE Gauge Powder-Coated Aluminum Planters

Powder coating is important because once the powder coating cures, it creates a durable finish that causes the marine-grade aluminum to last for years. In short, this is because when the powder coat is heated, it creates cross-links, melts, and then forms a sheath of protective coating on the aluminum.

The Application Process:

1. A prepaint coating is applied to the metal.
2. The planters are heated to ensure the prepaint coating dries evenly and thoroughly.
3. The metal planter is electrically charged. This is done because the powder-coating adheres to static electricity. The powder is sprayed on the metal.
4. Once the planter has been powder-coated, we heat it to cure the powder-coat.

Powder-coating heavy gauge 5052 marine-grade aluminum alloy, creates a superior product suitable for all interior or exterior commercial applications.

There is a lot of information about how to properly fill a planter. However, we recommend the following process:

1.) Make sure the planter is level and is elevated above the area it is sitting upon to prevent condensation.

2.) Add a filler that is not biodegradable, if the planter is considerably larger than the space needed for the plant to grow.

3.) Place landscape fabric to separate the filler from the soil and allow excess water from a possible over-saturated soil to leave the roots.

4.) Add about 6 inches of soil. Make sure the soil you use is appropriate for the plant. Then, tamp down, add more soil, and repeat.

5.) Add Plant sipper, if desired.

6.) Add the plant, more soil, and then wet the soil.

7.) Leave about an inch space between the top of the soil and the top of the planter
