Balustrades, screens, trellises and fencing

There are many ways in which a planter design scheme can be extended to include balustrades, screens, trellises or fencing; and there are, equally, many situations where it makes sense to do so - for example:

• Integrating balustrades, screens or fencing with planter design can avoid costly duplication of structures, where these elements together are required to create a perimeter to a patio, podium or terrace.
• Integrating the elements together can also yield a structurally stronger solution – for example, where an edge protection against falls from height is required to [say] a roof terrace.
• Trellises integrated with the planters support vertical plant growth in situations where, for example, it is neither desired nor possible to permit growth on an adjoining wall structure.  
• Integrating trellises with the planters also allows the whole installation to be moved, for example for use as movable privacy screening.

In the Commercial sector, such projects often introduce substantial Design Liability. IOTA has the breadth of capabilities and experience [across Design, Manufacturing and Site Works/Installation] to be able to offer complete contract solutions – up to full Design & Build [D&B] responsibility.
