Metal planter fabrication in Kenya
Produce metal planters with an agreed drainage and finish design.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional three-piece order: freestanding cylindrical decorative metal outer planters, each nominal 300 mm outside diameter × 300 mm high, receiving three separately supplied removable nursery-pot liners. The metal shell is ornamental ground-supported furniture, not a sealed reservoir, hanging planter or balcony fixing. A competent fabricator approves sheet thickness, seams, base, edge finish and actual liner/drainage arrangement; dimensions are an example, not a structural capacity claim. Deliver a measured prototype as the first of the three, then two matching units.
Who is the first customer?
