Veradek Block Series Span Medium 30" Plastic Planter - Gray

Great planter! It has a metal shelf that you can use so you don't have to fill the entire planter with dirt. That feature is very helpful from a cost standpoint (don't have to buy as much dirt) as well as an ease of installation standpoint (can move the planter box much easier as it weighs less). Depending on what kind of dirt you buy and whether you fill the entire planter up with dirt, a filled planter box can be very heavy. Veradek planters (I have 6) look great, they truly add a big wow factor to your yard! They are not inexpensive--but neither are the planters sold by competitors though either. The planter also comes with insulation (styrofoam) that protects plants. All the Veradek planters that I have are metal, with the insulation installed. I don't know if the insulation is why, but the pansies that I planted in my original Veradek planter boxes 2 years ago have not died off, and I live in a zone 5 planting area. The gray is very dark (looks black) but lightens up when the sun is hitting it. I also have the black planters. I probably like the black ones better. The gray planters and the black planters are on different sides of my house, so I never see them together. The dimensions in the description of this planter were not correct when I purchased my gray ones. The ones shown were for the medium size planter, not the small one. I found this out when the planters were shipped to me. Walmart took care of that problem immediately and with absolutely no hassle. Thank you Walmart!

Sturdy- true white- easy to light and move yet very sturdy. Made of high quality material- was a great price! I would buy again.
