The small size suits a shrub or young citrus tree on a terrace or balcony; the large size offers the soil volume needed for an already-developed tree (orange tree, bay tree, potted palm) — see our dedicated pages.
      Is the box really 100% wrought iron?
Yes, with no wooden panels — unlike a traditional Versailles-style crate, which often combines wood and ironwork. Wrought iron alone holds up through every season without warping.

## Price and lead time
       How much does a wrought iron orangery box cost?
Expect €250 to €450 for a small size, €600 to €1,200 for a large size depending on dimensions and finish — see our pricing page for the detail.
      What is the manufacturing lead time?
The exact lead time is communicated at the time of your quote, depending on the workshop's workload and the size chosen.

## Care
       Does the box rust over time?
An intact powder coating protects the iron reliably; a deep scratch exposes the metal, and a quick touch-up prevents rust from setting in — see our care and overwintering page.
      Do I need to bring the box indoors for winter?
No, the box itself stays outside all year round. Only the plant, depending on its species, may need shelter in case of frost.
