PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Fiberglass Garden Planters from Tournesol Siteworks are created with a polyester-based fiberglass (also known as Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic, or FRP), hand-laid in open molds.

Fiberglass is a lightweight, strong material made up of layers of polyester resin alternated with woven fiberglass mat. The strength and durability of fiberglass depend upon the number of layers of resin and mat, and the weight of the mat. Because we design our fiberglass to withstand being outdoors, Tournesol typically uses the heaviest mat available and applies at least one layer more than most other fiberglass manufacturers. The number of layers, the thickness of the material, and the internal structure (bulkheads, gussets, etc.) depend upon the configuration and natural strength of the product design.
