Large Wooden Planters

The best outdoor planter materials are timber, terracotta, fibreglass and metal. However, the most adequate one is the one that best suits your purpose. Timber is highly durable and flexible, so it’s great for bespoke designs and commercial projects. Terracotta is highly versatile and ideal if you’re looking to give an earthy appeal to your garden. Fibreglass is lightweight and can handle any weather conditions. Metal containers such as aluminium planters don’t rust and don’t need painting making them the most cost-effective option. Check out our Material Guide for more info.

Cedar and Redwood are the most favoured for wooden garden pots. Cedar because of its long-lasting qualities, natural resistance to rotting and fungi, as it contains natural oils that preserve the wood’s quality. And redwood because of it’s similar resistance, smooth appearance and beautiful red tone that will enrich any exterior space. However, here at Taylor Made Planters, we use a selection of high-quality hardwood and softwood including Redwood, Cedar, Pine, Iroko, Accoya and Yellow Balau, any of which will last you for many years to come if maintained properly.
