Know before you buy
Because lead is a non-porous material and there are no drainage holes, you should use a plastic liner or pot inside the planter. This allows you to remove the plant for watering or ensures excess water doesn't sit at the bottom, which could damage root health.
While the lead construction is durable and weather-resistant, it is standard practice to use a plastic insert or liner. This protects the interior of the planter and makes it easier to swap out seasonal arrangements without disturbing the lead surface.
Lead is highly prized for outdoor use because it is naturally resistant to corrosion and does not rust like iron. Over time, the material will develop a beautiful, soft grey patina that enhances its traditional English aesthetic.
Yes, lead is a dense, heavy metal, which makes this planter naturally stable. It is significantly heavier than plastic or resin alternatives, ensuring it will remain securely in place even in exposed outdoor settings.
While it is designed for outdoor use, you can certainly use it indoors. Just ensure you use a waterproof saucer or liner inside to protect your surfaces, as the planter does not have drainage holes.
