{"title":"Rooftop \u0026 Pool Deck Planters","description":"\u003cp\u003eRooftop and pool deck planters share three engineering constraints that ground-level planters don't face: strict weight limits, exposure to wind that can lift or tip heavier vessels, and (for pool decks) salt or chlorinated water that corrodes anything iron-based. The planters in this collection are specified for those conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor rooftops, weight is the dominant question. Most commercial roof structures are rated at 60 to 100 pounds per square foot of live load, with green-roof and amenity-deck areas often engineered higher. A 36-inch fiberglass planter full of wet soil weighs roughly 1,250 pounds spread over about 7 square feet, under the typical limit. The same planter in concrete weighs 1,700+ pounds and often pushes a structure into rework territory. See the \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/journal\/rooftop-planter-weight-guide\"\u003erooftop weight guide\u003c\/a\u003e for material-by-material weight tables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor pool decks, the priority shifts to salt and chlorine resistance, frost stability if you're in a freeze zone, and visual integration with the deck and water. Fiberglass and high-quality fiberstone handle all three. Avoid anything that uses iron reinforcement or steel banding; both rust at pool-deck humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFull-planter weight by material\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlanter (full of wet soil)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFiberglass\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFiberstone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConcrete\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 in round, 18 in tall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~380 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~450 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~560 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 in round, 24 in tall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~700 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~850 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~1,100 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36 in round, 30 in tall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~1,250 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~1,500 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~1,700 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 in round, 36 in tall\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~2,200 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~2,700 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~3,100 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/5662\/0031\/collections\/pexels-photo-16807034.jpg?v=1780793384","url":"https:\/\/sereneyards.com\/collections\/planters-rooftop-pool-deck.oembed","provider":"Serene Yards","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
