Made to live outside
Frost-proof, UV-stable fiberglass holds its color and shape through freezing winters and full sun.
Rio Grande Cylinder Planter - 18"D × 20"H / Matte Bright White is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Sizes are the diameter by height: 18 inches wide by 20 tall, or 22 by 22, each a straight-sided cylinder with a full-width round opening about 15.6 or 19.2 inches across. The 18 inch works beside a bench or a doorway; the 22 inch is the fuller floor piece for a wide entry or a row along a wall. Both are wide and deep (about 18.5 and 31.7 gallons), so they suit a full mounding planting, a clipped shrub, or a small multi-stem tree. Use lightweight potting soil only.
Good to know: Made to order in your chosen color and shipped free from the U.S. Most orders ship within 1 to 2 weeks and arrive a few days after.

Rio Grande Cylinder Planter - 18"D × 20"H / Matte Bright White is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The Rio Grande is a wide, straight-sided cylinder in fiberglass. Its walls rise vertically from a flat base to a full-width round rim, holding one clean diameter top to bottom, so it reads as a low, solid drum rather than a tapered pot. At 20 and 22 inches tall and nearly as wide, it sits low and grounded beside a bench, at the base of a wall, or in a row along a walkway.
Made from premium composite fiberglass, it stays light enough for one person to reposition yet strong enough to live outside year-round, through freezing winters and full sun, without cracking, rusting, or fading. The wide, open mouth and generous volume suit a full mounding planting, a clipped shrub, or a small multi-stem tree that can spread over the straight rim. Each Rio Grande is finished to order in your chosen color and drilled for drainage only if you ask, so it arrives ready for the spot you have in mind.
Every piece we carry is chosen to survive real weather and look considered for years, not seasons.
Frost-proof, UV-stable fiberglass holds its color and shape through freezing winters and full sun.
Vertical walls hold a single diameter from base to rim, so it reads as a grounded cylinder rather than a tapered pot, and sits calmly in a row.
Each Rio Grande is hand-finished in your chosen shade, so the color is part of the planter rather than a coat on top of it.
Nothing here sits in a warehouse. Every planter is hand-finished in the color you choose, then shipped to your door.
All twenty standard finishes are shown here, each hand-finished to order in the color you choose, at no extra cost. On-screen color is a guide and can vary from the finished paint. Ask us about a sprayed color sample for an exact match.
The Rio Grande works indoors or outdoors in any climate. Its fiberglass body is frost-proof and UV-stable, so it can stay outside year-round without cracking or fading.
Ordered without holes by default, so it can hold a liner or double as a cachepot. Add drilled drainage on request; a drilled planter is finished to order and non-returnable.
Fill with lightweight potting soil only, never garden soil, sand, or rocks. Wipe clean with mild soap and water; an occasional wax keeps the finish bright, and touch-up paint is available for deeper scratches.
Fiberglass is light for the size (about 13.6 to 18.9 lb empty), but the cylinder is wide, so set it in its final spot before planting.
