Moreover, corten steel requires little to no maintenance.

Powder-Coated Steel: Sturdy and Versatile
One of the greatest advantages of powder-coated steel is the protective layer that the material receives during the powder coating process. This layer provides a strong finish that is resistant to wear and the elements, such as sun, rain, and wind. Especially on a balcony, where these weather conditions often occur, this protection is essential to prevent rust and other forms of corrosion. It takes up little space but still offers enough sturdiness for plant pots and other accessories.
