Requirement

IOTA was commissioned by Cardiff Council to supply bespoke steel planters for St Mary Street, at the heart of the city's Castle Quarter.

Project detail

The large, conical-shaped planters were manufactured in three sizes with heights of  800 / 1200 / 1600mm respectively, all with a top diameter of 1000mm.

The planters were designed with channels in the base to allow them to be moved by fork lift or pallet truck.

1.4003-grade stainless steel was used, offering significant benefits for use in public realm The powder-coat finish was a special anti-graffiti formulation to RAL 7015 [Slate grey].

The planters are spread along the bustling, pedestrianised section of St Mary Street, leading from the gatehouse of Cardiff Castle.
