A Commercial Planter for Public Realm Projects
Designed for specification within demanding outdoor settings, the Bournville is frequently used as part of coordinated landscape and street furniture packages. Its size makes it ideal for small trees, shrubs, and substantial planting displays.
Typical applications include:
• Town centre regeneration and high street improvements
• Retail parks and commercial forecourts
• Transport interchanges and pedestrianised zones
• Education campuses and civic spaces
• Mixed-use residential developments
As a street planter, it helps define space, manage pedestrian flow, and introduce greenery into hard landscaped environments.
Fabricated Steel Construction with Durable Finish
The Bournville is manufactured from pre-galvanised mild steel, providing long-term protection against corrosion in exposed outdoor conditions. Each unit is finished with a high-quality powder coating in one of Broxap’s standard colour options.
Key material benefits include:
• Pre-galvanised steel fabrication for strength and longevity
• Powder-coated finish for weather resistance and colour stability
• Suitable for year-round external installation
• Designed for consistent appearance across multi-unit schemes
This makes it a practical choice for specifiers considering commercial planters in busy public spaces.
Integrated Drainage for Healthy Planting
Effective drainage is essential in large planters, particularly in urban environments where surface water management is critical. The Bournville includes drainage holes to the base as standard, supporting plant health and reducing standing water risk.
This feature ensures the planter performs reliably across a range of planting specifications and site conditions.
Optional Decorative Detailing
For projects requiring additional visual character, the Bournville planter can be supplied with optional decorative alloy bands. This allows landscape designers to introduce subtle detailing without compromising the planter’s clean, contemporary profile.
Dimensions and Space Planning
The Bournville is a large-format unit, suitable for impactful planting displays:
• Height: 900mm
• Length: 1600mm
• Width: 1600mm
Its scale makes it comparable to large wooden planters, offering a similar presence with the added benefits of steel durability.
Coordinating with Wider Street Furniture Schemes
The Bournville is often specified alongside complementary Broxap products, including:
• Seating and public benches
• Bollards and boundary protection
• Litter bins and recycling units
• Cycle stands and shelters
It can also be paired with softer landscape elements such as wooden planters or timber seating to create balanced material contrast within the public realm.
Decorative alloy bands are optional.
