A15. Yes most can. We don't recommend the ceramics outside due to possible cracking in extreme weather. Just advise if you are going to use outside and we will let you know if there will be a problem. You will want to order with drain holes for outside use.

Q16. Do the metal planters need special care?

A16 We recommend a liner of some type in most of the metal planters to prevent leaks or damage to the metal when using for live plants. This is not needed with the Aluminum planters. Solid brass, steel etc have a clear finish coat to protect surface. For cleaning, just use a damp rag, no abrasive cleaners.

A17. Shipping will calculate during check out process. You will see this and be able to cancel / clear the order before completing if not acceptable. Most rates are based on UPS. Some larger items or larger orders will need to go Ground Transport (truck) and will require a recalculation of S&H charges. If this applies to your order, you will be informed and sent the revised invoice for your approval before processing order.. S&H on Larger, custom orders and written quotes will be presented before processing. On Ground Transport there are added charges for residential deliveries.
