Parklet 6 - Large with Planters & Full Seating

A Large Parklet System Designed for High-Footfall Streets

Parklet 6 – Large with Planters & Full Seating is a contemporary parklet system developed for locations where generous seating provision and strong visual presence are required. Designed specifically for pavement installation, it transforms underused street space into a defined area for rest, socialising and informal gathering.

Its full-seating layout makes it particularly suitable for:

• Busy town centres and high streets
  
• Retail and hospitality frontages
  
• Civic spaces and public squares
  
• Transport-adjacent pedestrian routes
  
• Placemaking and street activation schemes

The three-sided bench arrangement allows multiple users to occupy the space simultaneously, supporting inclusive and sociable use throughout the day.

Parklet Seating Arranged for Social Use

Unlike half-seated layouts, this design prioritises parklet seating by running benches along three edges of the structure. This creates a contained yet open environment that encourages people to sit, pause and interact without interrupting pedestrian movement.

Seating benefits include:

• Continuous benches on three sides for maximum capacity
  
• Clear internal space for circulation and accessibility
  
• Seating orientation that supports conversation and group use
  
• A layout suited to longer dwell times in busy locations

This makes Parklet 6 a strong choice where comfort and capacity are equally important.

Integrated Planters for Green Street Design

The inclusion of multiple planters gives this parklet with planters a strong landscape-led character. The planters help define the parklet boundary, introduce greenery at street level and improve the overall quality of the public realm.

Planter features include:

• Three 2.4m planters and two 1.7m planters integrated into the layout
  
• Planting zones that soften the structure’s edges
  
• Opportunities to introduce seasonal or site-specific planting
  
• Improved visual separation from traffic and surrounding movement

Together, seating and planting create a balanced environment that feels both functional and welcoming.

Modular Parklet Kit with Flexible Deployment

Parklet 6 forms part of Broxap’s wider modular parklet range and is supplied as a complete parklet kit, allowing for straightforward installation and future adaptability. The modular approach supports both permanent schemes and trial installations, depending on project requirements.

Key advantages include:

• Modular components for consistent quality and repeatability
  
• Ability to integrate with other parklet elements or street furniture
  
• Suitable for temporary pilots or long-term public realm upgrades
  
• A self-contained format that simplifies site preparation

This makes it attractive to local authorities and designers seeking adaptable public space solutions.

Durable Steel and Timber Construction

Designed for everyday public use, the parklet combines a hot-dip galvanised steel frame with FSC®-certified timber seating and finishes. Materials are selected to withstand heavy footfall and outdoor exposure while maintaining a refined appearance.

Construction highlights include:

• Hot-dip galvanised steel frame to ISO 1461
• Choice of FSC® hardwood or FSC® treated softwood timber
  
• No base, allowing direct placement onto prepared pavement surfaces
  
• Components designed for durability and low maintenance

This ensures long-term performance in demanding street environments.
