This natural patina shields the metal from further corrosion – no painting, sealing, or staining ever needed. Unlike dip-coated or painted planters that chip and fade, Corten only gets better with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 45 inches wide, this size strikes the perfect balance: room for shrubs, ornamental grasses, small trees, or layered privacy plantings while fitting neatly on patios, along walkways, or flanking entrances.
