The Longley is a substantial streetscape feature designed to introduce structure, greenery, and informal public seating into high-profile outdoor environments. While primarily specified as a large capacity timber planter, its integrated form and scale make it well suited to schemes where a street bench style presence is required alongside planting.
Manufactured in the UK to demanding public realm standards, the Longley is an effective choice for architects and landscape designers delivering premium external spaces.

With its generous footprint and strong architectural proportions, the Longley supports planting-led design while contributing to the wider street furniture layout. It is often used to create defined spaces for rest, meeting, or circulation within:
• Town centre regeneration projects
• Public squares and civic forecourts
• Retail and leisure developments
• Transport interchanges and entrance zones
• Landscaped courtyards and waterfront schemes
It can be paired with other street furniture such as litter bins, bollards, and cycle parking to deliver a coordinated external environment.
The Longley is available in carefully selected timber specifications to suit both aesthetic intent and durability requirements.
Timber choices include:
• FSC treated softwood, offering a robust and cost-effective solution
• Planed and sanded Iroko hardwood, providing a refined, high-end finish for premium landscapes
Both options are suitable for demanding outdoor settings where a timber-led streetscape is preferred over more industrial materials.
Large planters in exposed environments must perform structurally as well as visually. The Longley is manufactured to provide long service life, with detailing that supports use in busy public settings.
Key considerations for specifiers include:
• High-capacity structure for substantial planting schemes
• Suitable for long-term installation in external conditions
• Optional plywood base for added stability and planting support
• Strong presence within hard landscaped areas
This makes it a practical alternative where a traditional park bench may not provide the same spatial definition or design impact.
The Longley is designed as a major landscape element with exceptional planting volume:
• Length: 2500mm
• Depth: 2500mm
• Height: 865mm
• Capacity: 4250 litres
Its scale allows for trees, mature shrubs, or layered planting, supporting ambitious greening strategies in urban environments.
The Longley works particularly well when specified as part of a wider palette of coordinated external products. It is frequently installed alongside:
• Timber and steel bench seating in adjacent rest areas
• Complementary street furniture bench ranges
• Public realm litter and recycling bins
• Decorative or protective bollards for pedestrian zones
For schemes requiring both planting and informal seating opportunities, the Longley provides a strong alternative to standalone benches.
