Planter or raised garden bed – what’s the difference?

Although planters and raised garden beds are often used interchangeably, they serve different purposes.

Here you can read more about the differences between raised garden beds and planters.

Planters are typically used for:

  • flowers and ornamental plants
  • screening and spatial division
  • terraces, balconies, and entrance areas
  • the option to add bottom plates for increased flexibility and placement options

Raised garden beds are primarily used for:

  • vegetables and herbs
  • kitchen gardens
  • ergonomic cultivation
  • without a bottom plate, placed directly on the ground to ensure proper drainage and healthy root development

Both solutions can be produced in steel and customized in both dimensions and appearance.

Why choose steel?

Steel is an ideal material for planters and raised garden beds because it:

  • retains shape and strength over time
  • requires minimal maintenance
  • can be manufactured precisely to desired dimensions
  • complements both modern and classic garden designs

Steel is particularly suitable if you are looking for a solution that is both functional and architectural.

Types of steel

Planters and raised garden beds can be manufactured in several types of steel, each with its own characteristics and visual expression.

Corten steel

Corten steel develops a natural, living patina that protects the steel and creates a warm, organic appearance.

Galvanised steel

Galvanised steel has a light, industrial look and is particularly suitable where high durability and wear resistance are required.

Black-lacquered steel

Black-lacquered steel provides a sharp, modern expression and is often used in architectural gardens and structured outdoor spaces.

Use in the garden and outdoor space

Planters and raised garden beds in steel can be used for more than traditional planting. They also function as:

  • spatial dividers
  • edging and boundary elements
  • seating edges and outdoor zones
  • structural elements in larger garden layouts

By combining multiple elements, you can create a cohesive and calm overall expression in your garden.
