About Utah Large Planter
The outer walls stop short of the floor and a recessed plate under the centre of the body carries the weight. That is the whole trick. A shadow line runs around the base, and the container reads lighter than its footprint suggests, which matters on a poolside pavilion or a civic forecourt where a big pot can otherwise sit like a block of masonry.
The range steps up in five sizes, 33 x 31, 40 x 44, 55 x 57, 70 x 75 and 85 x 90, which covers a clipped flowering accent at the small end and a mature specimen tree at the large. Four stone finishes are held as standard: White, Natural Stone Grey, Dark Grey and Black. Where a project needs a particular colour, we can match the body in a Dulux Weathershield Commercial Grade finish at our Malaga workshop.
Light Stone composite sits out Perth sun and coastal air without fuss, but the larger sizes are heavy once planted, so settle the position before the potting mix goes in. The 85 x 90 takes more mix than most people estimate. To judge scale in a finished setting, the Utah Planters at The Vines case study was shot poolside.

Common questions
Where does the floating look come from?
The plate is set back under the centre of the body, so the perimeter walls never actually touch the paving. Light gets under the rim, a thin shadow follows the base line, and the pot looks as though it is resting just above the floor.
Do I need the vibration pot feet?
They buy extra height off hard paving. Sitting the feet under the fixed plate lets drainage water run away instead of pooling, keeps watering marks off outdoor tiles, and takes the rock out of a container standing on an uneven surface.
What size should I choose?
The 33 x 31 and 40 x 44 suit a clipped flowering accent or a low grass, and they read well repeated along a path. The 55 x 57 and 70 x 75 carry a shaped shrub or a small multi-stem. The 85 x 90 is the one for a mature specimen tree, so allow for the potting mix it takes and decide where it stands before you fill it, because a planted 85 x 90 is not something you shift on delivery day.
