A huge pot, suitable for planting sizeable trees. Despite its dimensions, the Aladdin Container is relatively light, and hence perfect for weight-restricted terraces. Aladdin is molded in two pieces, and has a thin horizontal line at its widest point.
Instead of a simple drainage hole, Aladdin is fitted with an overflow pipe with the intake raised 5cm above the base. This effectively creates a large internal reservoir within the bottom of each planter. For best effect, the bottom 5cm of the planter should be filled with an inert drainage material - such as Hydroleca expanded clay pellets, or recycled polystyrene chunks

These planters possess an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making them suitable for a wide range of environments – from weight-restricted roof terraces to interiors, to public spaces. Even the largest sizes are easy to handle.
What is Fiber Cement?
Fiber Cement is a mixture of Portland cement, reinforcing fibers, air, and water. Initially moldable, the material slowly solidifies into a water and humidity resistant form.
40% Bonding Agent - The binding material is Swiss Portland cement, produced with sintered limestone and marly clay. Portland cement is the main component in all fiber cement products.
11% Additives - Inert additives improve certain characteristics of the fiber cement and optimize product quality.
5% Process Fibers - Processing fibers serve as filters during the production process. They are mainly cellulose fibers widely used in the paper industry. Recycled waste paper is used to some extent.
2% Reinforcing Fibers - Reinforcing fibers are synthetic and organic fibers made of polyvinyl alcohol and modified for fiber cement application. Similar fibers are widely used in fabrics, tissues, and fleece.
12% Water - The water content remains within the fiber cement panel for a long time and contributes to the continuing strengthening (hydration) of the cement stone.
30% Air - Microscopically small air pores serve as expansion chambers for freezing water and make the product frost proof. Fiber cement is a breathable material, while simultaneously being water and weather proof.
Fiber Cement Planters, Benches and Landscape Features have a 3 year limited warranty on their structure and a 10 year frost warranty.
