Patio planters

I'm thinking of getting some rectangular planters to put around my patio but not sure where to start looking. Any reputable places. Looking for something about 1m x .5m x 1.5-2m.
Shoid really have measured the area beforehand but posting this from the pub.

I'm very likely to have got the dimensions wrong.
Have you thought about using pallet collars?
To be honest I don't know what that is.

Aha. Not sure I like the industrial look of that.
I paint mine, then they don't look industrial. I only found the picture of the rabbit cage.

We have polystone planters just like the ones from Primrose. Not cheap but we have had them nearly 14 years now and they are in perfect condition. We use them to break up the hard landscaping on our patio. Most of our pots are also made of the same material.
Thanks. That is good to know. Was thinking of wood ones but a 14 year lifespan sounds like money well spent.
I've just come across a new site this morning and I think its new. They have some really lovely planters although not the largest range in the world, maybe there is more to come if they are new?

I also quite like woodlodge products as they seem to be great quality
