Modern Planters

The materials you incorporate into your space will impact the final product of your design. At PureModern, our planters come in a variety of materials, including:

• Powder-Coated Aluminum. These customizable, marine-grade aluminum planters look good while withstanding all types of weather conditions
• COR-TEN Steel. Ideal for outdoor spaces that need greenery with an edgy spin. Planters made from this material are naturally water and frost resistant.

• Custom Materials. PureModern offers a wide array of customization options, including materials, shapes, and finishes. We also provide installation and irrigation accessories.

We’ll work closely with you to craft custom modern planters that meet your exact requirements — whatever your needs and preferences. 

The first thing you need to know to select the right modern planter for your needs is where and how it will be used. 

Our modern planters can be used in both indoor and outdoor spaces. The most important question to ask is:

Do you need drainage holes or not?

If you have an interior application then you won’t want drainage holes but if the planter is outside and NOT in a covered area then you will want drainage holes so excess water can drain out. 

Be sure to consider whether you have sufficient natural light in the spot where you’ll be placing the planter — either from a nearby window or directly from the sky above.

Please note that one material we sell (COR-TEN) can only be used outside.

When planted properly, greenery in modern containers becomes a truly stunning element in any design plan. 

But a gorgeous display in a modern planter can become an issue if you don’t know how to properly fill the planter. Potting mix isn’t always the answer. First, it’s heavy and expensive. And if your planter is large, plants can develop a complex root system. 

Other filler options include: 

• Plastic containers from your recycling bin
• Packing material
• Rubble
• Ask PureModern to add a custom internal shelf in your planter

Yes! We offer a number of irrigation and installation solutions. 

For irrigation purposes, consider Ollie Plant Sippers, which capitalize on a plant’s own natural capillary action. With this system, plants require 80% less water, and the water holding tank only needs to be filled every six weeks – conserving resources and saving you time and money. 

EZ Fill-Ter Bags provide a natural filtration system and are also an effective way to fill your planter that doesn't involve heavy soil or stones. 

If you’re planning to hook up to an irrigation system, we can custom-cut drainage holes that fit your unique system.

If you’ve still got questions about how to choose a planter that will provide the right drainage solution for your design plan, find more information here or contact us today.

At PureModern, we think about durability in three ways:

• Material strength for weather resistance. How well can a planter’s material stand up to everyday wear-and-tear, heat and cold, water exposure, and more?
• Aesthetic durability. How many years will a planter continue to look its best?
• Maintenance costs over time. Over the planter's lifetime, how much will you spend on maintenance between time and labor?

Powder-coated planters satisfy all three of these requirements and are the epitome of a lifetime product. They withstand the elements and look great over time, all while requiring minimal maintenance and upkeep.

The price point is higher, but you absolutely get what you pay for. Take a look:

• Heavy gauge 5052 marine-grade aluminum is used to ensure optimal durability in all weather conditions.
• We use a bonded powder coat on the marine-grade aluminum with TIGER Drylac® Series 38 architectural-grade powder inside and out to create a durable hard shell on the aluminum planter.
• Our powder coating is free of the VOCs (also known as “volatile organic compounds”) commonly found in building materials. VOCs can sometimes be unstable and emit unhealthy gasses that can negatively impact people and the environment.
• This grade of aluminum is used for ships and airplanes and this type of powder coating is used in military equipment and communication towers.
