Contrary to some massive and hefty timber designs, fibreglass is a lightweight material that makes it possible to move planters around with ease. Fibreglass containers are thus very well suited for household use. Fibreglass containers have the freedom to be presented indoors and outside since high-quality reinforced fibreglass is a robust material that can survive harsh weather conditions. Due to the attractive and sophisticated appearance Fibreglass provides, it is a popular option when designing a garden display with numerous planters. Each planter must be cleaned with a non-abrasive medium at least twice a year in order to maintain the colour and quality of this material.
