Fiberglass planters are a great way to add a lot of inexpensive garden pots to a garden décor. While the fiberglass and resin containers of old frankly looked cheap and cheesy, the technology has come a long way. The result is an astonishing variety of handsome garden containers that look very close to concrete and other materials yet are light and easy to move around.
One of the newest features of fiberglass-based inexpensive garden pots is the addition of a small amount of clay or limestone to the ingredient mix. The terms fiberclay and fiberstone are sometimes used to describe these mixes. By adding minute amounts of these natural materials, it becomes very easy to replicate the look of terra cotta or concrete.
While the easy portability of these man-made containers is the single largest benefit, there are other features making these a great choice. Because fiberglass is impervious to the elements, these inexpensive garden pots will stand up to any type of weather. For those who have second homes in beach or desert areas, this is a real plus. Nine times out of ten, resin or fiberglass garden pots are a great deal cheaper than their plaster or terra cotta counterparts.
Online retailers offer all types and sizes of fiberglass containers to match all garden décor. A few options to consider include the Wyndham planter line. These inexpensive garden pots have a self-watering feature. Additionally they are chip resistant because of a unique laminating process. For those looking for a high gloss modern sheen, these are the planters tailor made for your garden décor.
Another stunning look for the garden is a fiberglass box type planter with a lattice pattern. These garden accessories are crafted using a real metal top layer instead of the cheaper painted lattice work that is often seen. The result is a decorative surface that does not fade or peel away.
