Indoor & Outdoor decorative planters and flower pots
Why Choose Fiberglass Planters?
Whether you’re using them indoors or out, pots and planters made from fiberglass are more durable, lightweight, and long-lasting.
What is Fiberglass?
Fiberglass is a reinforced composite of spun glass fibers laid together in a sheet, and held together with a resin. This creates an incredibly durable, lightweight and long-lasting material that can be used to create unique plant pots and planter container shapes in any number of styles, colors, and finishes.

How are fiberglass Planters made?
Fiberglass planters are made by laying sheets of spun glass fibers over a mold, and covering the fiberglass sheets with a polyester resin. Once the resin dries, the planter is taken off of the mold, excess material is trimmed and carefully sanded to buff out imperfections, then coated with a primer. The fiberglass planter is then finished with an automotive-grade paint for additional durability. This process results in a hand-crafted fiberglass planter that lasts, is durable, lightweight, UV resistant, and has the ability to withstand damage and corrosion in both indoor and outdoor spaces.

What Makes a Quality Fiberglass Planter?
Two Signs of Shortcuts
Fiberglass planters that aren’t constructed well can eventually leave plant designs looking unprofessional.
rough surfaces
excessively heavy
Fiberglass planters are meant to be lightweight. If a planter seems too heavy for its size and shape, the manufacturer may have added low-quality fillers to the resin.

FAQ About Fiberglass
What you should know about fiberglass planters and pots
Is fiberglass good for planters?
Yes! Fiberglass is a great choice for keeping your plants healthy because it helps retain moisture (so plants don’t dry out quickly) and insulates plant roots to keep them protected during temperature changes. Fiberglass planters can withstand many different weather conditions and won’t easily break or crack. These pots work both indoors and out, and they’re lightweight, durable, and versatile, coming in many different designs and colors. Many, like ePlanters’ Jay Scotts fiberglass planters, also come in UV-resistant colors.
Can fiberglass planters stay outside during winter?
Yes! Quality, well-constructed fiberglass pots like those sold at ePlanters require very little maintenance and can withstand both extreme heat and cold. It’s important to ensure your planters have proper drainage holes to prevent cracks and breaking from freezing water, so choosing options with pre-drilled holes is best. Automotive-grade paint (as used in Jay Scotts fiberglass planters) also ensures the pot’s finish stays bright.
Is it safe to grow fruit and vegetables in fiberglass containers?
Fiberglass is non-toxic and perfectly safe to use in the garden and with edible plants. It is not a porous material and will not leach any chemicals into the soil.
Do fiberglass pots need sealing?
No, you do not need to seal fiberglass planters, though you may want to apply a protective wax layer to maintain the finish. And if your planter is going to be used outdoors, you should ensure you have appropriate drainage holes.
Do fiberglass planters break?
Quality fiberglass planters are extremely durable with minimal maintenance. They will not break or crack as long as you have the proper drainage holes and avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives. You can ensure an even longer life by repairing small scratches when needed and applying a wax coating to keep the finish like new.
How long do fiberglass planters last?
The fiberglass pots at ePlanters, like those from Jay Scott, can last 15-50 years or more with proper care. The combination of fiberglass and resin, plus an advanced construction process, makes these planters extra durable. Constructed of commercial-grade materials that are lightweight but strong, fiberglass planters withstand extreme weather conditions and look great year-after-year.
