About Polystone Resin Cube Planter
A round pot carries the outward push of wet soil around its curve. A square one has nowhere to send it: the mix presses straight against four flat panels, and an unreinforced wall will bow. Every cube in this range is reinforced right through the perimeter walls, which is why the lines stay straight and plumb at the larger end of the size run, season after season.
Some sizes go further again, with vertical and horizontal bracing moulded into the interior. Those cubes are strong enough to take the weight when turned upside down and used as a plinth, which is a practical way to lift an urn, a water bowl or a garden sculpture clear of the paving so it reads at eye level rather than ankle level.
The range runs from CG5001/20 (20 x 20 x 20) to CG5001/110 (110 x 110 x 110) in eight steps, close enough together to set a repeating rhythm along a boundary wall, a pool surround or an entrance foyer without falling back on odd sizes. For the same geometry lifted off the ground, the Polystone Resin Cubes On Feet Planter sets the identical cube on five integrated legs. Bracing varies with the production run, so contact us about a product or project and we will check which braced sizes are currently available.
Common questions
Which sizes can be turned upside down and used as a plinth?
Bracing is moulded into selected production sizes only: vertical and horizontal ribs that carry the load once the cube is flipped. Ring or email the Malaga showroom and we will check which braced sizes are in stock before you decide.
Why do square planters need reinforced walls when round ones do not?
Wet soil pushes outward, and a flat panel has no curve to carry that load around. Continuous reinforcement is embedded in the Polystone Resin while the cube is moulded, so the walls hold a straight line rather than the long sides bowing outward over a few wet seasons.
Can the 90 cm or 110 cm cube go on a timber deck?
Soil and water together make a 90 cm or 110 cm cube very heavy, and all of that weight sits on a small footprint. Have your builder or engineer confirm the joists and subfloor can take the weight before either size goes onto timber decking or a suspended balcony.
