Plants can keep the air around the frame a little drier by absorbing moisture, and if you choose a low‑maintenance groundcover like clover or moss, it can also help shield the metal from direct rain and reduce salt buildup. Just make sure the plants don’t outgrow the frame or pull up the soil where the metal sits. A small layer of organic mulch between the plants and the frame can also act as a barrier, keeping the metal a touch drier. Give it a try—nature’s own little rust‑bouncer!
