Palmetto Planters has been dedicated to providing our customers with the highest level of support and service as possible. During our 10 years of manufacturing fiberglass planters and containers, we have noticed some common questions asked by our customers. Listed below are some of the questions that we are frequently asked. If your questions are not answered below, please feel free to contact us.
Weather Resistance
Q:
Will fiberglass planters and containers hold up to hot and cold weather?
A:
Yes, fiberglass is a very stable composite and will hold up to your normal hot and cold temperatures that most of our customers currently experience. If you have questions about a certain environment, please contact us directly.
Fiberglass Vs. Concrete or Terra Cotta
Q:
What are some advantages for fiberglass planter verses concrete or ceramic planters?
A:
Fiberglass planters can be up to 10 times lighter than concrete and terra cotta planters. It would only take one or two people to move virtually all of our fiberglass planters.
Concrete planters have the potential to break or chip when dropped or miss handled. Fiberglass won't break from minor miss handling and the finish may chip, but can easily be repaired with no damage occurring to the actual planter structure.
The fiberglass molding process makes our planters water tight by design. We can also incorporate drain holes to allow liquid to drain when used outdoors.
Using Planters on Rooftops
Q:
Can fiberglass planters be used on roof-tops?
A:
Yes, fiberglass planters are excellent for roof-tops, second level patios, and parking garages. Fiberglass planters are much lighter than concrete or Terra Cotta planters and reduce the load from the planters themselves.
