Corten planters, edging and address details

Steel that belongs outside.

Made in the USA from heavy-gauge weathering steel that settles into a patina and never needs paint. Troughs, cubes, columns and the edging that ties a landscape together.

Where it goes

For every corner of the exterior

The founding six

The founding collection

The first thousand planters.

Larvale opened with six pieces: two troughs, a cube, a cylinder, a tall column, and the edging that ties them together, all cut from the same 12 and 14-gauge weathering steel.

Autumn offer: a free 5-pack of edging with any two planters, and complimentary shipping over $250.

The difference is the steel

Heavy gauge.
Not sheet metal.

Most corten sold online is 18-gauge sheet, under 1/20 of an inch thick. Larvale pieces are cut from 12 and 14-gauge ASTM A588 — over twice as thick, the grade used for bridges — with hemmed rims and continuous welds.
