Smaller, higher-margin, and the item that gets a cafe, a hotel and a boutique storefront to order 40 pieces at once. We make them with a floating base so soil weight does not split the ends.

Construction & materials
Materials, moisture and finish
Window boxes fail by rotting at the base corner where the liner folds, and by pulling their fixings out of a soft fascia. We cut the base as one floating panel with 8 mm perimeter clearance, use a one-piece LDPE liner welded at the folds, and publish a bracket load rating so your installer specification is defensible.

FAQ
Objections we handle weekly
The answers below are the ones we give on the phone. Anything missing, ask on WhatsApp.
Do your window boxes leak onto the customer's fascia?
No: a welded one-piece LDPE liner plus 8 mm perimeter clearance contains soil and water; we still advise a drip tray SKU for stone and timber facades and we can supply one, powder-coated to match the box colour.
Can you supply self-watering planters?
Yes, a 35 mm reservoir with an overflow weep hole and a wicking mat, sold as a hospitality SKU. It adds a modest per-piece cost and lets the trade sell a '4-week holiday' claim; the watering window depends on plant and aspect, and we say so on the insert.
What is the smallest order for a custom colour?
200 pcs per size in a standard colour; Pantone-matched opaque finish at 500 pcs. Larch oiled lines can start at 100 pcs because the finish is a dip, not a spray-booth colour change.
Can these be nested to save freight?
Yes — 5 pcs nested per carton with kraft interleaves, which cuts cube roughly 30 % against single-box packing. We quote both: nested for trade, single gift box for online sellers who cannot re-box on arrival.
