How we work

Meticulous and made to last.

Every Pot Shack pot is hand-cast on site in Centurion, cured and finished using 97% solar electricity. Local, tested, repeatable.

Our story
  1. 01

    Hand-cast in Centurion

    Every pot is moulded and cured on site at our Centurion yard, by the team that has been doing this since 1996.

  2. 02

    97% solar-powered yard

    Our Centurion yard runs on 97% solar electricity, the same density, same life, lower footprint.

  3. 03

    Frost & rain tested

    Designed for South African summers and Highveld winters. Frost-safe, sun-safe, downpour-safe.

  4. 04

    Delivery

    Flat-rate to Gauteng, Western Cape and KZN on our own vehicles, or collect free from the yard.

Concrete furniture

Furniture that stays put.

Chairs, tables, benches and a pool lounger, hand-cast to live outdoors year round. No rust, no rot, nothing to carry in for winter, and heavy enough that the wind leaves it exactly where you put it.
