Factors to Consider When Selecting Large Rectangle Pots
Selecting the right large rectangle pots for your garden involves several key factors. We’ll guide you through the important aspects to think about before making your choice. Our tips will help you pick pots that suit your plants and enhance your outdoor space.
Material durability and weather resistance
Material durability and weather resistance are crucial factors in choosing large rectangle pots for your garden. We love GRC (Glass Reinforced Concrete) for its outstanding strength and resilience.
It boasts a tensile strength up to four times greater than steel fibre, with superior compressive strength compared to regular cement. This makes GRC pots ideal for withstanding Australia’s harsh weather conditions.
GRC’s impressive durability doesn’t come at the cost of weight. These pots are about 80% lighter than precast concrete alternatives, making them easier to move and rearrange in your garden.
Despite their lightweight nature, GRC pots match precast materials in weathering characteristics, ensuring they’ll look great for years to come.
GRC combines strength, durability, and eco-friendliness – it’s the perfect material for outdoor pots that last.
We’re also fans of GRC’s eco-friendly qualities. Its lighter weight reduces transport emissions, lowering its environmental impact. For gardeners who value sustainability as much as style, GRC pots offer a brilliant blend of practicality and environmental consciousness.
Size and depth for root growth
We recognise that size is important for large rectangle pots, particularly for root growth. Our Polystone lightweight planter boxes come in various options to meet different garden requirements.
The medium size, measuring 1000mm long and 400mm high, offers sufficient space for most plants. For those needing more depth, the X-Large Widebody at 1200mm long and 550mm high provides ample room for roots to expand.
Depth plays a crucial role in healthy plant growth. Our fibreglass planters are available in various heights, ranging from 300mm to 500mm. This variety allows us to accommodate plants with different root systems.
For example, bamboo thrives in our deeper options. We suggest planting three bamboo plants per planter box for full coverage, ensuring they have sufficient space to grow strong and tall.
Made-to-order fibreglass planters provide adaptability for unique garden layouts. These lightweight options can fit any round, square, or straight-sided space. This versatility means we can optimise root growth in even the most challenging garden designs.
With our range of sizes and depths, we’re sure you’ll find the ideal pot for your outdoor decor needs.

Placement and Installation Tips
We’ll show you how to set up your pots for success. Read on for our top tips.
Best practices for positioning in your garden
Positioning large rectangle pots in our gardens requires careful thought. We need to find stable, level ground to ensure our pots don’t tip over. This is crucial for the safety of our plants and anyone near the pots.
Sunlight exposure plays a big role too. Some plants thrive in full sun, while others prefer shade. We must place our pots where they’ll get the right amount of light for the plants we choose.
Proper drainage is a must for our large rectangle pots. We can’t let water pool at the bottom, as this can lead to root rot. It’s best to elevate our pots slightly or use a drainage layer.
For bamboo, we stick to the rule of three plants per planter box. This gives them enough room to grow without overcrowding.
Easy access is key for maintaining our potted plants. We place our pots where we can easily water and prune them. This makes gardening more enjoyable and ensures our plants get the care they need.
Lastly, we secure our pots to prevent damage from strong winds or accidental bumps. This is especially important for terazzo or composite pots, which can be quite heavy and costly to replace.
