Modular planters.

Follow the plot. Build the shape.

Connect straight sections, inside and outside corners and wedge pieces into raised beds and retaining walls. The system lets a continuous run follow the shape of the site.

All fixings are supplied. Bottomless sections allow roots to grow into the soil beneath, making the range a practical choice for larger schemes and terraced planting.

Heights: 200-600mm
Connections: Bolt-together sections, with fixings included
Layout: Straight runs, inside and outside corners, and 45-degree turns

Brampton straight

All four square sizes are bottomless. Place them directly over soil so the planting can root into the ground below.

Materials: Pre-weathered Corten or mild steel
Assembly: Flat pack with straightforward bolted connections

The finish makes
the difference.

Coordinate the planting with the architecture, paving and wider landscape. Available finishes vary by product.

Corten steel

A warm, weathered appearance that works with planting, timber and natural stone. The Corten ranges shown here are supplied pre-weathered.

Mild steel

A straightforward steel option, including the accessible Malvern range. Uncoated mild steel develops its own weathered appearance over time.

Powder-coated steel

A clean, consistent colour for a coordinated scheme. Explore the available coated models or discuss a finish for a bespoke project.
