Our planters are designed with the environment in mind. Increased green areas make a community more attractive & add a vibrant touch to an otherwise dull or unsightly area.
Bailey Streetscene supplies a wide range of planters with varying designs and materials including timber, steel and cast iron. We also have a wide range of highly attractive steel and cast-iron tree grills too, specially designed to enhance the environment whilst protecting the vulnerable roots and trunks of young trees at the same time.
Bailey Streetscene planters are available in a range of sizes to suit any landscape and are extremely versatile: you can plant evergreen shrubs to provide colour all year round in any urban surroundings or even plant seasonal plants which ring the changes with each season.
Planters
Whether you are bringing greenery to an urban space or colourful plants to a commercial development to enhance the area, planters are a great way to improve the visual impact of an area.
Here at Bailey Streetscene, we understand various street furniture products are considered towards the end of the specification process. This is common for how planters are selected for an area.
However, we work with architects and contractors to ensure planters are given much more consideration into early design plans, helping them to make maximum visual and performance impact for a project.
But with a wide variety of shapes, materials, and styles, how do you choose and install the right street planter for your project?
How to select a suitable material for your planter
Timber planters
Timber planters are versatile in their project selection. They are a favourite among architects and contractors working on projects with a more urban application, as the subtle and natural look of timber works well against traditional concrete and glass constructions.
They also offer a high level of durability with strong structural strength (particularly hardwoods). And if correctly maintained and treated, timber planters will last for many years in an outdoor setting.
Concrete planters
These are a popular option for planters in urban environments, as the concrete aesthetics will blend in well with the local setting.
Concrete is a great material for planters due to its strength and durability, as it can withstand heavy loads. It is also incredibly low maintenance as it is resistant to the weather and other elements.
It also has excellent thermal properties, meaning for planters which incorporate seating into the designs, it can absorb the heat from the sun meaning people can still sit down even on hot days.
Metal planters
Bailey Streetscene are pleased to offer a range of metal planters which are available in steel, with a wide variety of finishes e.g. powder coated, stainless steel or corten steel finish.
Steel has a high strength-to-weight ratio, meaning it is a great material for planters which contain large plants and trees.
It is also durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions, corrosion, and general wear and tear.
GRP planters
Our GRP planters are popular among architects and contractors looking for a stylish and hardwearing planter. Not only do you get a varied and striking finish appearance in GRP planters, but you can be assured you are specifying a planter that will last for a long time.
GRP is a strong and durable material that can withstand heavy loads and extreme weather conditions. It is also resistant to corrosion.
They are also popular with sub-contractors as GRP planters are lightweight and can easily be installed and transported around site.
