    Wilshire Planters, Aluminum Rectangle & Square

    Wilshire planters, our most popular collection, are available in powder-coated marine-grade aluminum. Aluminum is a great choice for planters. It is lightweight, adding less to the overall load. It is easier to deliver, assemble, and complete installation. It’s also environmentally friendly, requiring less energy to produce, build, and recycle.

    Features

    • 100% recyclable marine-grade aluminum
    • Same strength as Wilshire Steel but weighs 40-60% less
    • Engineered for strength with welded stiffeners
    • Laser-cut & welded for consistent thickness and edge detail at any scale
    • Powder-coat over zinc-free epoxy primer

    Product Options

    Tournesol’s products are made-to-order. To easily add features to our planters, check our menu of standard options.  Note -  not all options are available for all products; we also have capabilities beyond the listed options. For something off-menu, speak to a Tournesol Advisor.
