Every planter ships with a false-bottom drainage plate and a removable poly liner, so water exits through weep holes instead of pooling against the metal and rotting the root ball. The liner also keeps soil and tannins off the finish, so the box looks new after seasons of replanting.
We powder-coat to any RAL or custom colour, so the planters read as part of the architecture rather than an off-the-shelf afterthought. The baked TGIC finish holds its tone against UV and salt far longer than wet paint, which matters on south-facing plazas and exposed streetscapes.
Rooftop and podium units get ballasted bases or bolt-down anchor cleats sized to the wind exposure, so a tall planter loaded with a multi-stem tree stays put in a storm. We calculate the soil-and-ballast weight against overturning before anything leaves the shop.
We spec the alloy to the environment: marine-grade 316 stainless or thick aluminum near pools and coastlines, and heavier steel where a lobby planter doubles as a security bollard. Wall thicknesses are sized so a six-foot box keeps its crisp edges instead of oil-canning.
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.

Most metal planters jobs in North York are driven by tower service rooms, office parks, school properties, parking structures, and arterial delivery timing. The Grate Guys treats each request as a practical scoping job: the quote starts with what must be measured, what load or use the part has to survive, and how the fabrication will reach the site.
The North York checklist for this product covers measurements, material choice, load case, finish, delivery access, installation timing, and drawing approval.
