Hexagon Garden Raised Bed - Rusty Corten Steel - Weathering Timber Look - Multi-Height

Hexagon Garden Raised Bed - Rusty Corten Steel - Weathering Metal Planter

This weathering steel hexagon garden raised bed is an exceptional choice for DIY enthusiasts looking to add a modern, architectural element to their gardens, balconies, or patios. Crafted from Corten steel—also known as weathering steel—this planter is anti-corrosive by nature. It is designed to develop a unique, rusty protective layer when exposed to the elements, providing a stunning organic brown finish that requires no painting or maintenance. This durable material ensures your garden bed will stand the test of time while becoming more beautiful with age.

The hexagon design is deep and wide enough to hold a substantial volume of soil, providing ample space for the healthy root development of plants, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. For maximum stability, the unit features a reinforced steel frame and interior support brackets. The innovative open-bottom design ensures superior drainage, preventing water buildup and root rot while allowing plants to better absorb nutrients from the earth. Safety is also a priority; the rim features a folded edge design to ensure no sharp metal is exposed.

Best For: Gardeners seeking a high-end, low-maintenance architectural planter that develops a natural rustic patina over time.

Key Features:

• Premium Corten Steel: High-strength weathering steel that develops a self-protecting rust layer, eliminating the need for painting or chemical treatments.
• Unique Hexagon Silhouette: Provides a geometric focal point that adds modern structural interest to any backyard or courtyard.
• Open-Bottom Drainage: The bottomless design facilitates natural drainage and encourages deeper root growth by connecting plants to the ground soil.
• Safe Folded Rim: Meticulously designed with an edge fold to hide sharp metal edges, making it safe for families and pets.
• Sturdy Internal Bracing: Equipped with interior support brackets to maintain the hexagon shape under heavy soil pressure.

Specifications:

Ideal For:

• Creating a central floral feature in modern landscape designs.
• Growing high-yield vegetable crops like tomatoes or leafy greens.
• Organising a dedicated aromatic herb garden on a patio or lawn.

Good to Know: This product is delivered in its raw metal state and has not yet developed its rust patina. The rusty layer will develop naturally over time. To speed up the process, you can spray the exterior with soapy or salty water. Please avoid contact with the developing rust layer to keep clothes stain-free.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
