Roof terrace greening: tips on what to look out for – and why choosing the right planters is crucial

A rooftop terrace is much more than just an additional outdoor seating area – it can become a green oasis right in the middle of the city. Especially at lofty heights, there are special challenges when it comes to greening. Here you will learn what to pay attention to and why our aluminum planters are perfectly suited for this.

Consider static and weight

On rooftop terraces, the load-bearing capacity is limited. Heavy materials like concrete or natural stone quickly strain the structural integrity. Planters made of aluminum are significantly lighter yet extremely sturdy. This way, you can generously green your rooftop terrace without overloading the building structure.


Protection against weather conditions

On rooftop terraces, wind, sun, and frost have a particularly strong impact. Quality is crucial here: Our planters are powder-coated, UV-resistant, and completely weatherproof. They retain their color and surface for many years – even with large temperature fluctuations.

Drainage and Waterlogging Protection
To ensure your plants thrive healthily, excess water must drain away reliably. Our plant containers feature integrated drainage solutions and optional overflow outlets with threaded sockets. This allows you to connect a hose directly, channel the water precisely to a drain, and thereby protect flooring from dirt.

Mobility: Casters for Plant Pots
You want to move your containers flexibly – for example, for cleaning, redesigning, or winter protection? Upon request, we deliver plant containers with integrated heavy-duty casters. And the best part is – the casters are elegantly hidden behind a cover.

Create privacy
In densely built-up areas, roof terraces often lack privacy screens. With tall, rectangular planters, you can create natural, green walls – as wind protection, room dividers, or to shield from neighbors. This way, your roof terrace becomes a protected retreat.

Custom Design
Every rooftop terrace is different – and requires individual solutions. We manufacture our planters according to your desired dimensions, in many shapes (square, rectangular, round) and in all RAL colors. This way, you can perfectly match the planters to the architecture and planting.

Rust look without rust
You love the warm Corten look but don't want rust stains on your terrace or facade? Our rust-effect powder coating delivers exactly that effect – without the drawbacks of real steel.
  • No color transfer, no rust stains: Your flooring stays clean, even in the rain.
  • Wetter- & UV-beständig: The appearance remains stable for years – without peeling or uncontrolled patina.
  • Lightweight and durable: aluminium with an effect coating combines low weight with high robustness.
  • Easy care: Clean with water and mild soap – done.
