CHARACTERISTICS:
The CURVA fibreglass planter gives gardens a stylish look. The fibreglass planter is intended for outdoor use. By default, it is not waterproof. Optionally, the CURVA planter can be supplied in a waterproof version. The planter is supplied in standard colours. Other colours can be ordered for an additional cost, so there is a matching CURVA fibreglass planter to match every design scheme.
Our fibreglass planter is made of high-quality reinforced fibreglass. This makes the planter sturdy. The fibreglass is dyed through, and the planter will retain its colour.

5-year guarantee.
Fibreglass planters are frost-resistant and strengthened to prevent warping.
Lightweight and very strong.
Finished with a double-turned edge.
The fibreglass has a thickness of 3 mm.
Includes hidden feet and circles for drilling drainage holes. This ensures that the planter floats a little above the ground (15 mm) and has optimal drainage after drainage holes have been drilled.
Standard RAL colours are RAL 7016, RAL 7021, RAL 9005 and RAL 9016. There is a start-up charge for other colours, please enquire for a quotation.
KEY POINTS OF INTREST:
Products should be unpacked immediately upon receipt to release any moisture trapped inside the packaging. This moisture can cause stains that are difficult to remove.
Always drill drainage holes in the base of the planter. The base has circles for drilling. These circles are connected by a drainage channel. After drilling the drainage holes, install the overflow pipe. This will ensure that no excess water remains in the planter.
Fibreglass planters should always be installed on a flat surface. Do not place the planter on beams, stones, etc.
The planter is not suitable for moving once filled.
PLANTING ADVICE:
Insert the overflow pipes into the drainage holes prepared for them.
Fill the planter with about 10 cm of drainage material.
Place a permeable anti-root membrane over the drainage material.
Cover the membrane with soil suitable for your chosen plants.
Keep the drainage holes clear so that excess water can run off.

To avoid overwatering, we recommend the following methods:
Use a liner or nursery pot: Keep your plant in a plastic nursery pot inside the planter. This allows you to remove it for watering and ensures excess water can drain away safely.
Add a drainage layer: Place a layer of gravel or stones at the bottom of the planter to create space for excess water to collect below the roots.
Water in smaller amounts: Without drainage, it’s important to water more carefully—only add what the plant can absorb, rather than soaking the soil.
Use a moisture meter: This helps you monitor soil moisture levels and avoid overwatering.
Using one or a combination of these methods will help keep your plants healthy while protecting indoor surfaces from water damage.
