Zinc planter boxes
After being contacted last month by an architect who works extensively on midtown Manhattan roof terraces about building planter boxes (the current source overseas was unreliable, expensive, and basically unimaginative in design), we started working on construction of a few sample planters. These massive double wall zinc constructions are solid enough to last many lifetimes, and we think their beauty speaks for itself.
The two boxes pictured are 30″ x 30″ x 30″ in dimensions, large enough to fill with a small tree. I think that what we love most about the project is the chance to show off our expertise in patinas. Check out the detail shot below. With enough concentration and focus, you can make zinc start to look like exotic quartz or granite with all of its veins and texture.
We will also be developing several other standard size boxes, as well as spun rounded flowerpots in zinc with a similar finish.

I am a landscape architect in New YOrk and i’m looking for planters like the ones you show here. I’m looking for (2) 18 x18 x 18 cubes with a patina that has a copper or brown ish patina.
Would you be able to build and supply these? the delivery address is:

New York, NY
Many thanks,

Of course! We can do planters in single- or double-wall, in a whole range of patinas ranging from matte zinc to a blackening patina. The best way to get started would be to call us and discuss construction, delivery time, and price.
