CANCELCreate durable growing spaces with our recycled plastic planters and composite raised beds.
Designed for gardens, patios and other outdoor areas, these rot-proof and weather-resistant products provide a low-maintenance alternative to traditional wooden planters. Choose from decorative plastic planter boxes, raised garden beds and recycled plastic components for growing flowers, herbs, fruit and vegetables.
Create practical, attractive and long-lasting planting areas with our plastic planters and raised beds.
Our range includes heavy-duty planters manufactured from recycled plastic, composite raised beds and recycled plastic components for bespoke garden projects. These products are designed to withstand damp soil and changing outdoor conditions without rotting like traditional timber.
Whether you want to grow flowers on a patio, herbs close to the kitchen or vegetables in a larger raised bed, LL Plastic offers durable options for gardens of different sizes and styles.
Outdoor planters are continually exposed to moisture from rain, watering and the soil inside them. This can cause untreated or poorly maintained wooden containers to rot and deteriorate.
Recycled plastic planters do not absorb moisture or rot like timber. They require very little routine maintenance and do not need to be regularly painted, stained or treated with wood preservative.
The principal benefits include:
Check each product page for its exact material composition, dimensions and specifications.
Plastic raised beds provide a practical way to create defined growing areas for flowers, fruit, vegetables and herbs.
Raising the growing area can make plants easier to reach and help separate cultivated soil from the surrounding garden. Raised beds can also be used to organise different crops, create structured borders or introduce additional planting space onto patios and other prepared surfaces.
Potential applications include:
Always confirm that the selected product is suitable for the intended plants and growing application.
Our category also includes raised beds manufactured from composite materials.
Composite raised beds combine a timber-inspired appearance with improved resistance to moisture and rot. They offer a low-maintenance alternative for gardeners who want the appearance of wood without regular staining or preservative treatment.
Because individual composite products may contain different materials, check the relevant product description for the exact composition and care instructions.
Wood is traditionally used to construct raised beds, but it remains in continual contact with damp soil and outdoor moisture.
Depending on the timber and how it has been treated, wooden raised beds may eventually:
Plastic raised beds do not rot like timber and require considerably less routine maintenance.
They are particularly useful where long-term moisture resistance is more important than using a natural timber material.
Recycled plastic planters can add flowers, greenery and structure to a wide range of outdoor areas.
They can be used in:
Before positioning a planter on a balcony, roof terrace or raised structure, check the completed weight and confirm that the surface can safely support it.
Plastic planters and raised beds can support a wide variety of garden projects.
Flowers can be used to introduce colour around patios, entrances and seating areas. Herbs can be grown close to the house for convenient access, while larger raised beds can provide organised space for suitable fruit and vegetable crops.
When planning the growing area, consider:
Food-growing suitability can vary between products, so check the individual product specifications before planting edible crops.
Recycled plastic boards and sleepers can be used to construct bespoke raised beds, planters and garden borders.
They provide a rot-proof alternative to timber components in projects where the material will remain in contact with damp soil.
When designing a bespoke raised bed:
Recycled plastic can expand and contract as temperatures change, so suitable fixing holes and expansion allowances are important.
Effective drainage is essential for healthy plants and the long-term performance of any planter.
Do not assume that every planter is supplied with drainage holes. Check the product specification and prepare the planter according to the plants, soil and intended location.
Installation considerations include:
Large planters can become extremely heavy when filled with soil and water. Final positioning should therefore be decided before filling.
Plastic planters and raised beds require relatively little routine maintenance.
External dirt can generally be removed using warm, soapy water and a suitable soft brush or cloth. Unlike timber, the plastic material does not need to be regularly painted or stained.
Periodically check drainage openings, connections and supporting surfaces, particularly after severe weather or changes to the planting arrangement.
