Modern planters. Made to make a statement.
The right planter can completely change a space. Whether you're refreshing a garden, creating a contemporary patio, styling an entrance or introducing greenery to a commercial environment, Nicoman Metal Planters combine modern design with practical, durable construction.
Available in Black, Anthracite Grey, Green and distinctive Pre-Rusted finishes, the collection offers different shapes and sizes for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Why Choose Metal Planters?
Metal planters offer a clean, architectural look that works beautifully in both modern and traditional surroundings.
Nicoman's galvanised steel planters are designed for indoor and outdoor use, making them suitable for gardens, patios, balconies, entrances and commercial environments. Their simple shapes allow the planting to take centre stage while the metal construction creates a smart, contemporary finish.
They can be used for everything from flowers and ornamental grasses to greenery and suitable small trees.
Create a Statement with Tall Metal Planters
One of the standout designs in the Nicoman range is the 90cm × 30cm × 82cm Metal Trough Planter.
Its tall, slim proportions make it ideal for creating an impressive planting display without taking up excessive floor space. The 82cm height also makes it particularly useful for screening, dividing areas and introducing height into a garden or commercial space.
A false base insert positioned partway up the planter also means you don't necessarily have to fill the entire planter with soil. Plant pots can be positioned higher inside, making the tall design more practical to use.
Black Metal Planters – Clean & Contemporary
For a timeless contemporary look, Black Metal Planters are an easy choice.
The dark finish creates a striking contrast against green foliage and colourful flowers while complementing paving, decking, fencing and modern outdoor furniture.
Nicoman offers Black metal planters in several formats, including cube, standard trough and tall trough designs, allowing different sizes to be mixed throughout the same space.
Use a single large planter as a statement piece beside an entrance, or position several together to create a more substantial planting display.
Anthracite Grey – Understated Modern Style
For something slightly softer than black, Anthracite Grey provides a sophisticated neutral finish.
The Nicoman Anthracite Grey Trough Planter measures 90cm long × 30cm wide × 82cm high and is manufactured from galvanised steel. Its neutral colour works particularly well alongside grey paving, rendered walls, contemporary fencing and modern outdoor furniture.
The tall design is equally suited to gardens, patios, balconies and commercial environments, while the false base provides a practical solution for planting.
Pre-Rusted Corten Steel – Natural Character
If you want the planter itself to become part of the design, Pre-Rusted Corten Steel creates a completely different look.
Its warm rust tones provide a beautiful contrast against greenery and work particularly well alongside natural materials such as timber, stone and paving.
The Nicoman collection includes Pre-Rusted options in several sizes, including a 50cm × 50cm Cube Planter, 80cm × 30cm × 40cm Trough Planter and the larger 90cm × 30cm × 82cm Tall Trough Planter.

Cube or Trough – Which Should You Choose?
The shape of your planter can have just as much impact as its colour.
Cube planters work particularly well as individual statement pieces. They can be positioned beside entrances, at the corners of patios or grouped with other planters to introduce different heights.
Trough planters are particularly useful along walls, pathways, patios and boundaries. Their longer shape also makes them suitable for creating continuous planting displays.
For greater height and visual impact, the 82cm tall trough planters can help define or separate areas while introducing greenery at a higher level.
Use Metal Planters to Define Your Space
Large planters don't have to be purely decorative.
Strategically positioned trough planters can help define seating areas, create attractive entrances, divide larger spaces or add greenery around patios and terraces.
The tall Nicoman trough design is specifically suited to screening and dividing spaces, making it useful for both residential and commercial environments.
This makes larger metal planters particularly useful for:
- Gardens and patios
- Entrances and pathways
- Balconies and terraces
- Offices
- Restaurants and cafés
- Hotels and hospitality spaces
- Other commercial environments
Mix & Match Your Planters
You don't necessarily need to choose just one planter style.
Combining cube, trough and tall planters can introduce different heights and proportions to your planting scheme. Alternatively, repeating the same planter along a wall or pathway creates a more structured, architectural appearance.
You can also use colour to change the character of the space. Black and Anthracite Grey create a clean contemporary look, while Pre-Rusted Corten Steel introduces warmer, more natural tones.
Complete Your Outdoor Space
Metal planters can also be coordinated with other products from the Nicoman Metal Garden Collection, including privacy screens, garden borders, fire pits and other contemporary outdoor products.
Combining planters with decorative privacy screens is particularly effective when you want to introduce greenery, screening and separation within the same outdoor space.
