The Bedlington planter is frequently specified in locations where planting must withstand heavy footfall, changing weather, and regular maintenance access. Its integrated steel frame provides additional rigidity, making it appropriate for:
• Town centre regeneration and high street improvements
• Transport interchanges and station forecourts
• Retail parks and mixed-use developments
• Civic squares and waterfront promenades
• Schools, universities, and healthcare landscapes
These urban planters help soften hard landscaping while supporting placemaking and greener public spaces.
The Bedlington combines natural materials with engineered reinforcement, delivering the performance expected from modern street furniture planters.
Standard specification includes:
• Treated FSC® (FSC-C122338) softwood slatted body
• Galvanised steel frame for structural support
• Plywood base supplied as standard
• Large capacity design suitable for substantial planting
This hybrid approach offers the visual appeal of timber with the resilience often associated with metal planters, making it an effective option for long-term public realm use.
With its generous proportions and reinforced frame, the Bedlington is ideal for projects requiring more than seasonal bedding. It is commonly used as a tree planter in paved environments, supporting:
• Small to medium specimen trees
• Shrubs and multi-level planting schemes
• Landscape screening and boundary definition
• Greening initiatives in dense urban areas
Drainage and planting specification can be tailored to suit site requirements and planting strategy.
The Bedlington can be manufactured in a range of sizes to meet project-specific needs, whether for compact courtyards or large civic spaces.
Available options include:
• Hardwood construction for premium landscape schemes
• Bespoke dimensions to suit architectural layouts
• Alternative finishes for coordinated street furniture palettes
It can also be specified alongside Broxap’s wider range of seating, litter bins, bollards, and cycle parking for a consistent public realm approach.
The Bedlington works particularly well when combined with other coordinated products, and is often specified alongside:
• Public benches and outdoor seating
• Bollards and pedestrian management features
• Litter and recycling bins for high-use areas
• Cycle shelters and parking infrastructure
This creates a unified streetscape where planting supports both function and visual identity.
