We offer two GRC ranges to suit different needs.

If you are looking for a clean lined planter that suits modern Australian homes, the GRC trough planter is a standout choice. Its long, low profile makes it easy to style outdoors or indoors.

Many customers choose a GRC trough planter for its ability to sit neatly along walls, fences, pool edges or pathways. The trough shape also works well as a subtle divider for patios and balconies, giving you privacy with greenery.

Our best-selling Lightweight GRC Stonelite range is made from durable glass reinforced concrete and available in our Dulux Custom Colours or any Dulux Premium Colour. The classic GRC range, listed below, features a rusted finish, but can also be painted in any custom colour on request.

Because the Lightweight GRC Stonelite range is so easy to handle, it is ideal for longer planters. A GRC trough planter in this range can be moved and restyled without the heavy effort of traditional concrete.

What is GRC?

GRC (Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete) is a durable, lightweight material that combines concrete with glass fibres. Known for its strength and resistance to cracking, GRC is excellent for outdoor use in planters and decorative elements. Its lightweight nature makes it easy to handle, while its versatility allows for various shapes, finishes and custom designs. Eco-friendly and long-lasting, GRC is a favourite for modern landscaping and garden projects.

This combination of strength and lightweight design is especially valuable for a GRC trough planter, as the design often accommodates multiple plants in a single line.

Why choose a GRC trough planter

A GRC trough planter is one of the most versatile shapes in our collection. Use it to create a neat row of plants, soften hard edges or bring colour into narrow areas.

Troughs are also popular for commercial projects because they provide a clean, consistent look across larger spaces.

Here are a few ways customers use trough planters:

  • Line driveways or garden paths with repeating greenery
  • Create a herb or vegetable run near the kitchen
  • Frame outdoor seating areas and courtyards
  • Add a planted border to balconies and rooftops
  • Use as a low divider in cafés, hotels or offices

Plant pairings that suit troughs

The GRC trough planter is perfect for plants that look great in groups. Try a clipped box, such as lavender or rosemary, for a formal feel. For a softer, leafy style, plant ferns, mondo grass or liriope in a repeating pattern. Indoors, trough planters work well with peace lilies, pothos or smaller fiddle leaf figs. Succulents and cacti also suit the wide format, especially for sunny windows or covered patios.

Sizing and placement tips for

When choosing your GRC trough planter, think about where it will sit and what you want it to do. Longer troughs create a strong horizontal line, while shorter troughs are great for grouped styling. Most customers place them in full sun to part shade, but they can also be used inside with a saucer. For outdoor use, add drainage stone and high-quality potting mix to support healthy root growth.

Pair with Thai limestone finishes

To add a softer stone-inspired look, match your trough with our Thai Limestone styles. These finishes complement the GRC trough planter beautifully and work well in coastal, classic or Mediterranean-inspired gardens.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does your Rust finish leach?

Pots that contain a rust finish do have the potential to leach rust onto the surface below the pot as is the case with all rust surfaces. Products exist that can offer the ability to seal the outside of the pot such as Porters rust sealer but this would need to be applied by the customer.

Do you sell to the people at home or just landscapers?

Yes we sell to everyone.

Can you provide advice on the best planting methods?

Yes we have a planting guide that can take you through the steps which can be viewed by clicking here.

What are Dulux custom spray colours?

We use the Australian Dulux paint range to offer a massive amount of colour options whilst applying your paints by trained professionals with commercial grade spray equipment and industry best practices to ensure your finish looks amazing and outlasts the competition. To learn about the advantages click here.

Do I need anything special to protect the pots and plants?

We recommend following our planting guide which can be viewed by clicking here to get the most life out of your pots and plants. With certain pot ranges we also recommend using pot feet with most purchases which can be viewed by clicking here. Bitumen Sealer is also a vital inclusion to give your pots that extra waterproofing to protect from naturally occurring efflorescence with information viewable by clicking here.

I was told painted surfaces may crack or peel?

We use the same commercial Dulux paint combinations used across Australia on commercial buildings. In fact Dulux themselves offer a 15 year guarantee on their paints! Like everything in life it takes skilled preparation of surfaces, and expensive spray equipment to get long lasting results and the good news is our team of qualified professionals will achieve the best results in Australia so you don’t have to worry.

I’ve purchased a painted product before and it faded, cracked and peeled, why won’t yours?

Unfortunately not all suppliers are offering the same standard of quality that we do. In fact some of our competitors will use cheap inferior paints, watered down paints, paint their products overseas, paints that are not suitable for Australian UV, paint brushes to apply the paint, inadequate surface preparation methods when applying the paints, paint in poor environmental conditions, not use undercoating when applying paints and believe us the lists goes on. We are happy to say we have a proven method which is patented by our business and produces long lasting quality results in line with Australian Dulux specifications so that you can the same professional result, every time. We paint hundreds of thousands of pots every year and don’t have returns based on our paint not going the distance.

I was told infusing colours is better than spraying them. Is this true?

Incorrect. Infusing colours is subject to variations in colours, and doesn’t protect your product from naturally occurring efflorescence or crazing (a fancy way of saying imperfections in your pots surface finish). By using professional spray painting equipment to finish your product in Australian Dulux paints you’ll be getting the best possible, long lasting, UV resistant finish that hides efflorescence and crazing, giving you a finish that will impress with the longevity your deserve.

Why can’t I just paint my own pots?

Like all things in life, training and the right tools make a big difference to the end result. At Pots Wholesale Direct we’ve invested in professional spray equipment and hire trained professionals to apply your paint to get the long lasting results your product deserves, so put down the brush and ask for our team of skilled professionals to give you the finish you deserve.

Can I choose any Dulux paint I want?

Yes you can ask for colours outside of the best selling range but it make incur a $30 per pot surcharge due to extra costs and expenses. Enquire today to find out more.

Can I have any custom size or shape I want?

Yes at a cost. We do produce custom pots but usually these are part of larger commercial projects where the quantities ordered offset mould costs and shipping costs. The good news is we hold the largest range in Australia and generally have an off the shelf shape or size to meet almost all requirements. Enquire today if you need more information.
