Plantabarrier protection
An increasing trend for councils and businesses to convert on-road car spaces to shared spaces and outdoor dining and seating area has resulted in explosion of roadside parklets. These parklets often utilise either unattractive concrete or water filled traffic barriers or flimsy fences or planters which provide virtually no protection from an errant vehicle colliding with and entering the parklet. At Plantabox we have addressed the lack of protection and poor aesthetics offered by conventional barriers and fences by developing a vehicle collision barrier system. The PlantaBarrier system combines ballast weighted framed units, cladding and a living garden. The weighted units can be deployed individually or joined together using three separate levels of continuous wire rope to form a continuous barrier wall. The combined weight of multiple joined units provides an increased level of protection against unexpected impact from vehicles. PlantaBarrier units incorporate Plantabox’s water reservoir and wicking system, providing a beautiful low maintenance thriving garden customised to your requirements
