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.
We support your metal planters with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
Metal Planters is custom-fabricated or coordinated for commercial, industrial, municipal, institutional, retail, and construction sites, where fit, access, durability, and site conditions matter more than a stock product. The Grate Guys builds metal planters around drawings, measurements, traffic duty, finish exposure, and installation constraints using mild steel, structural steel, galvanized finish, powder-coat, stainless details, or aluminum where the site calls for it, made to order in our Toronto shop, licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, with a workmanship warranty on every order, supplied and installed across the GTA and shipped Canada-wide.

In Windsor, metal planters usually comes down to automotive facilities, cross-border shipping, industrial loads, and corrosion-aware finish selection. 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 Windsor checklist for this product covers measurements, material choice, load case, finish, delivery access, installation timing, and drawing approval. That keeps the page tied to a real product and a real local project, with clear constraints, site details, and quote-ready information a buyer can act on.
