Granite planter

squarecontemporaryfor public space

We were asked if it was possible to create some large 2 x 2 x 1.m planters. These planters were to be clad in granite tiles. One requirement of the brief was that it should be possible to move the planters, even when fully planted. This meant designing a structure which would stay rigid, even when moved, whilst loaded with a gross weight of more than 5 tonnes. Working with our structural engineers we designed a planter very similar to our standard Tree planter with a stainless steel rim which complimented the Cornish granite surround and with the aid of a forklift could be re-positioned, as required, if access was need for street repair The granite TREE planter is the latest addition to the TREE planter range. The planter is clad in beautiful and durable grey granite tiles – flame finished for a textured surface. Beneath the cladding is a sturdy fully galvanised sub-frame with integral forklift channels. The planter is designed to allow re-positioning whilst fully laden for added flexibility. It has a built-in galvanised steel liner with a 2.3 cubic meter capacity. The top of the planter is finished with a stainless steel rim Sturdy galvanised steel sub frame with integrated forklift channels Galvanised steel liner & stainless steel top rim Bespoke sizes and widths available Part of the TREE range of furniture (incl. timber-clad planters)
