Pure copper pot rings fasten like a belt around your plant pot and are clipped over the rim. Unlike traditional copper tape or other slug deterrents, pure copper pot rings that attach directly to plant pots ensure long lasting protection while adding to the aesthetics of your garden. Available in 4 sizes for pots of diameter 18cm to 75cm.

Sizes and RRPs

The modular system is available in four sizes - small, medium, large, and XXL - to ultimately fit around just about any size of pot, from 18cm to 75cm diameter. They can even be bent to fit non-circular pots. Paul believes they are a unique addition to the marketplace, adding that he has “not seen any other copper product that provides pot protection like this”.

RRPs: Small (min 18cm pot diameter/max 30cm) £15; medium (min 25cm pot diameter/max 45cm) £20; large (min 35cm pot diameter/max 60 cm) £26; XXL (min 45cm pot diameter/max 75) £34.

Why Copper Works to Deter Slugs

Copper is a natural slug deterrent. When slugs come into contact with this marvellous metal, a small reaction occurs that they find unpleasant, effectively repelling them. This means your plants remain safe without the need for harmful chemicals or repeated applications of repellents. It’s a sustainable choice that’s kind to the environment and your garden.

Advantages Over Copper Tape

Whilst copper tape has been a popular choice for slug prevention, it comes with several downsides. Copper tape often struggles to adhere properly to pots, especially in outdoor conditions where moisture and dirt can weaken the adhesive. Additionally, many gardeners find that copper tape lasts only a single season before needing replacement.

Pure copper pot rings offer a far more robust and durable solution. By attaching securely to your plant pots, these rings remain in place regardless of weather conditions. Made from 100% copper, they resist corrosion and maintain their effectiveness season after season, providing excellent value for money.
