Bespoke Steel Tree Planters In Cheltenham High Street

Steel tree planters were commissioned by Cheltenham Borough Council, in a scheme to green two prime location, pedestrianised areas of Cheltenham High Street. The 5nr. planters were of dims. L 1200 x W 1200 x H 850mm; and they were manufactured from powder coated steel, with resin-bound gravel lids.

The planter design concept was developed by the Public Realm Design Team at Cheltenham Borough Council, with constructional detailing by IOTA. Bespoke design elements included:

pressed panels on all 4 sides, raised 3mm from background surface
separate lid in 2 sections, including removable resin-bound gravel infills
lifting eyes in base of planter for tree anchor attachment
internal 50mm box section frame to enable planter to be safely lifted, fully-planted
plinth with 90 x 30mm channel sections, to accommodate lifting straps
certified lifting frame

The planters were manufactured from Zintec Steel, with an internal frame of Mild Steel box sections, and powder coated to RAL 6006 [Grey olive]. The paint was specially originated for the project, with a finely-textured surface finish. The installation via HIAB lorry was conducted by IOTA.
