PUBLIC REALM / CUSTOM FABRICATION
Architectural Metal Planters
Clean lines above. Considered drainage below.
Architectural planters combine visible metalwork with a demanding internal environment. Define the planting volume, wet weight and drainage approach alongside the exterior shape and finish.
FUNCTION / FORM / SITE
Define the complete product scope.
Fabricated options include rectangular folded boxes, modular planting troughs and support frames for separate liners. Panel stiffness, corner construction and lifting arrangements depend on dimensions and the intended loading. A liner and drainage layer should be coordinated with the landscape specification.
On terraces and roofs, the responsible designer must assess the complete saturated load and its distribution to the supporting structure. Keep discharge water away from vulnerable finishes and building interfaces. Coastal exposure, irrigation chemistry and dissimilar-metal contact also affect material selection.
PRODUCT OPTIONS
Examples to shape your brief.
Entrance planters
Standalone metal containers coordinated with pedestrian movement and building sightlines.
Terrace troughs
Long fabricated forms with planned supports, liner interfaces and controlled drainage.
Modular landscape edges
Repeatable sections that can be transported, positioned and connected within site-access constraints.
DESIGN / PROCUREMENT
Resolve the details that affect the result.
Loading and support
Include soil depth, saturated weight assumptions, support positions and the designer responsible for the supporting structure.
Liner and drainage
Identify liner supply, drain outlets, overflow strategy, insulation if required and access for maintenance.
Delivery and finish
Check doorways, lifts and crane access. Define coating colour, visible weld acceptance and protection during planting.

QUESTIONS / ANSWERS
Before you specify.
Does the metal container need a liner?
The answer depends on the metal, coating, planting medium and intended service. Define the liner and drainage system with the landscape designer rather than assuming the outer shell is watertight.
Can planters be used on a roof?
The supporting structure and saturated loads require assessment by the responsible designer. Provide roof access, load limits and waterproofing protection requirements.
Can long units be made in sections?
Transportable sections can be considered, with joint appearance, drainage continuity and site assembly details agreed in the design.
What information should accompany a quote request?
Provide outer dimensions, planting depth, quantity, material and colour preferences, liner requirements, drain locations and access constraints.
