custom planters

A custom-made planter offers the perfect solution for those who want to embellish their garden or balcony with greenery, but cannot find the right sizes in standard stores. Often standard planters do not fit well in that one corner or do not meet our specific wishes. Fortunately, with customization we can create exactly the planters that perfectly suit our needs and space.

With us you can choose from various types of wood such as Douglas fir, old scaffolding wood and impregnated black scaffolding wood. Whether you need a large planter for a tree or a smaller one for a cozy border, the possibilities are endless. The result is always a unique, custom-made planter that is not only functional, but also a real eye-catcher in our outdoor space.

Why custom-made planters are a good choice?

Custom planters offer countless benefits that standard options cannot match. By being able to choose dimensions, materials and additional options, we can create the perfect planter for any garden or balcony.

Optimal space utilization

With customization we can tailor planters exactly to the available space. Whether you have a small city garden or a spacious outdoor area, we can make a planter that fits perfectly. Our steel planters, for example, can be up to 400 cm long, while the maximum height is 60 cm.

Flexibility in materials and colors

We offer various materials such as steel, galvanized steel, polyester and wood. Each option has unique features and benefits:

  • Steel: Strong and durable, with the option for customization.

  • Polyester: Ideal for large quantities of 25 pieces or more, with six standard RAL colours, plus options for different colours.

  • Wood: Easy to work with, available in square or oblong, and up to a maximum of 396 x 150 x 134 cm.

Additional options and customizations

We can offer various additional options for custom-made planters, such as recessed wheels, legs or waterproofing. These adjustments not only improve the functionality but also the mobility of the planters, which is beneficial for changing garden layouts or events.

Quality guarantee

Our custom planters come with a 10-year color guarantee, so you can enjoy an aesthetically pleasing and functional garden solution for years to come. If you have specific wishes, we can make a tailor-made quote and provide advice that fully meets your expectations.

The possibilities of custom-made planters

At Houtenplantenbak.nl we offer various options for custom-made planters. Our custom options are available for both wooden and steel planters, so you can order exactly the right planter for your garden.

Wooden planters

Our wooden planters are available in different materials. We have Douglas wooden planters that can be custom made. Old scaffolding wooden planters can also be adjusted to size. We also offer impregnated and black lacquered scaffolding wood planters for a unique look. Hardwood planters GL complete our range with their durable and robust properties.

Steel planters

We offer steel planters with a 10-year color guarantee. Our standard sizes are very large, but if your desired size is not included, we can also have it made to measure. You can easily calculate your ideal size using our calculation module. The maximum height for steel custom planters is 60 cm and the maximum length is 400 cm. For longer dimensions we can supply the planter in two parts. This ensures flexibility and customization in your garden design.

Order and delivery

Ordering your custom-made planter is easy online. Place the desired size you have chosen in your shopping cart and order immediately. After receiving your order, we will let you know when you can expect your custom planter. Delivery takes place at home, so you don't have to carry anything yourself.

Our range

In addition to customization, we also offer a wide range of standard sizes. These are immediately available from stock, so you can quickly get started decorating your garden or balcony. When considering a custom planter, consider specific wishes such as higher or wider than the standard options. This makes your garden or roof terrace completely unique and tailored to your taste.

With custom planters from Houtenplantenbak.nl you can turn your outdoor space into your own unique place that perfectly meets your needs.

Make your own wooden planter

Making your own wooden planter offers many advantages. It is often cheaper than having a custom planter made. Moreover, we can adjust the dimensions completely according to your wishes. Wood is ideal for making a custom planter. However, we must take the correct dimensions into account, otherwise the planter may become crooked or leak.

Material choice

With a wooden planter, the choice of materials is important. For example, Douglas wood is aesthetically pleasing, but it rots quickly when it comes into contact with the ground. It is better to choose oak or teak, because these types of wood last much longer and are more resistant to the elements.

Extra protection

We can paint the wooden planter or cover it with another material, such as polyester or corten steel. This not only provides an attractive appearance, but also protects the wood against dirt and water. These extra layers significantly extend the life of the planter.

Dimensions and shape

When making your own planter, we can determine the dimensions ourselves. Whether we want a square, round or rectangular shape, everything is possible. This gives us the flexibility to perfectly tailor the planter to the available space and personal preferences.

Additional options

We can also add extras to a custom-made planter. Consider hardwood wheels for easy moving or a powder coating for extra durability. These extras not only make the planter more practical, but also increase its lifespan and aesthetic value.

By making a wooden planter ourselves, we can save costs and fully respond to our specific wishes and needs. With the right materials and finishes we create a sustainable and aesthetically attractive solution for any garden or balcony.

Filling custom-made planters

Planters made of wood

There are various options when filling wooden planters. Flowers, grass and shrubs are popular choices. Flowers that require little water, such as lavender or geraniums, are ideal for wooden planters. This prevents the planters from drying out quickly and needing daily water.

Grass provides a green appearance, but requires regular maintenance such as pruning. Shrubs are easier to maintain and only need to be pruned once or twice a year. Think of shrubs such as boxwood or lavender.

Custom-made polyester planters

Polyester planters are suitable for growing herbs. Herbs such as basil, oregano or thyme not only give off a wonderful scent, but also always provide fresh herbs within reach. Polyester has the advantage of being durable and lightweight, ideal for both indoors and outdoors.

These planters are available in various RAL colours, so they can be perfectly integrated into any garden or balcony environment.

Corten steel planters

Corten steel is a popular material for custom planters because of its industrial look and durability. Flowers such as geraniums, daisies or lavender look great in Corten steel containers. These plants not only provide color but also a pleasant scent.

A good soil, hydro granules and drainage holes are essential for planting in Corten steel containers. This keeps the plants healthy and beautiful for longer.
