Douglas Dockside, Isle Of Man

IOTA’s Taper 800 planters have been used in a scheme to improve the streetscape in the Dockside area of Douglas, Isle of Man.

IOTA’s granite planters are increasingly specified within streetscape schemes, where they offer a stylish, and often cheaper, alternative to more utilitarian planters in concrete, composite or metal. At the Dockside in Douglas, a particular issue arose as there was no protective kerb between the pavement and the renovated road surface. The Isle of Man Department of Works installed 25nr. of IOTA’s Taper 800 planters along the length of the Dockside, to act as a vehicular barrier and to guide the flow of pedestrians.
