Are rattan outdoor tree boxes resistant to damage from ice-melting salts?
Rattan outdoor tree boxes are popular for their natural aesthetic and durability, but their resistance to ice-melting salts depends on the material quality and protective treatments. While synthetic rattan (PE rattan) is generally more resistant to salt damage than natural rattan, prolonged exposure can still cause wear. To minimize damage, rinse the boxes regularly after salt application and apply a protective sealant. For harsh winter climates, consider using alternative de-icing methods or relocating the planters temporarily. High-quality, UV-resistant rattan tends to fare better against salt corrosion. Always check manufacturer guidelines for specific care instructions.
