Jakob Swiss stainless steel mesh for a trellis is the gold standard for this product type. An amazing product, this Jakob stainless steel mesh is not really necessary to support most vines and is an expensive overkill. While the mesh size can be enlarged to reduce the cost and still effectively allow the vine to grow, stainless steel rods are actually more practical and cost-effective for most trellis applications.

This square wooden planter shows how a separate waterproof liner, supported by a hidden structural aluminum frame, prevents soil from contacting the wood and the sun from heating the root ball. It’s hard to overemphasize the importance of the separate waterproof liner to the adaptability and longevity of DeepStream’s uniquely engineered 3-component planter system.
To ensure Commercial Wood Planters will last for decades, planks are held in place by the deep slots of the proprietary structural marine-anodized extrusion, not fasteners that tear apart in the endless wet and dry cycles that cause the planks to expand and contract. The separate waterproof liner has advanced drainage and provides a thermal break against solar gain. Backed by a Lifetime Structural Warranty, all parts are replaceable and there is no paint or powder coating to fail. They will never crack like fiberglass planters can.

DeepStream Plastic Liners and 3-layer Drain Pads with TREMdrain & Biobarrier complete your Wood Planter
When selecting your outdoor garden planters, keep in mind that drainage is critical to the health of your plants grown in containers, and it is very difficult to remedy after the fact.
DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter pads. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 proprietary stock plastic planter liners, to which various plugs, hose barbs, and valves may be attached. Liners are non-structural and are meant to be placed inside planter boxes.
DeepStream commercial planter liners with advanced drainage.
Generally, more container-grown plants die from drowning than from lack of water. “Old school” drain holes on the bottom and gravel drainage medium simply do not work and will quickly clog. DeepStream elevates the drainage hole center approximately 2″ up the sides of your liners to provide a “reservoir” for the tap roots and allow clay “fines” in all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.
DeepStream’s tapered stock planter liners with advanced drainage make them economical to ship and easy to replant and recondition roots.
Garden Planter liners prevent the soil from contacting the wood, preventing rot, while promoting drainage. The air space the liner creates between itself and the planter box prevents the root-ball from getting warmer than the ambient air. This space also allows you to hide drip irrigation lines and wiring for lights. The tapered shape reduces shipping costs, and makes root conditioning and replanting slide-out-easy.
Custom Planter Liners
DeepStream welds Waterproof Planter Liners to fit any size planter.
These Custom-Welded Modular Planter Liners for a large commercial roof deck landscaping project are equipped with hidden drainage and drip irrigation.
Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local weather, you may need to add more drains to your garden plantes. Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls.
DeepStream’s advanced 3-Layer Drain Pad
Drain pads, when used in conjunction with clean 1-2 mm inorganic drainage material to slow the flow of the water to the drain, could prevent clogged drains for a decade or more in your garden planters. Biobarrier will not stop aggressive root systems like runner bamboo and Clusia.
The basic components of DeepStream’s 3-part advanced drainage filter pad: drain board, filter fabric and Biobarrier.
DeepStream’s advanced drainage pads: TremDrain Board improves drainage area and efficiency, filter fabric reduces drain blockage by silt and organic material, Biobarrier helps prevent root blockage.
Drain packs must be used in conjunction with a proper planting medium for container gardening, and inorganic filtering material to slow the drainage water so that any clay “fines” that could coat the geotextile will instead settle to the bottom of the liner below the side-wall drain.
When selecting your outdoor planters, keep in mind that drainage is critical to the health of your plants grown in containers, and it is very difficult to remedy after the fact. The design of the planter liner is one of the important components.
Generally, more tended plants die from drowning than from lack of water. “Old school” drain holes on the bottom and gravel drainage medium simply do not work and will quickly clog. DeepStream elevates the drainage hole center approximately 2″ up the sides of your liners to provide a “reservoir” for the tap roots, but more importantly, that space allows clay “fines” present in all most all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.
DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter packs. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 stock proprietary plastic planter liners, to which various plugs, hose barbs and valves may be attached. Liners are non-structural and are meant to be placed inside planter boxes.
Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local climate, you may need to add more drains. Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls with a hole saw bit. If additional threaded ports are needed we stock two-part watertight bulkhead fittings.
Planting mediums for container gardening are as varied as local climates and plant species. Here in Florida, we can get 6” of rain in a day in the rainy season, so we need a quick draining material and we often add perlite. If you have a dry climate, you may need to add more vermiculite to retain water. Since Florida also has a dry season where it my not rain for a month or more at a time, we use drip irrigation, as the planting medium we use for the rainy season dries out far too quickly during the dry season.

Food Safe Plastic Garden Planters made with HDPE, high density polyethylene, is a solid color throughout, so your planters won’t show scratches in the same way fiberglass or painted metal planters do, and graffiti can be easily cleaned off. HDPE plastic resists UV in sunlight and makes food safe planters safe, think kitchen cutting board, making them perfect to grow herbs and vegetables. HDPE is also waterproof, so planters don’t need a liner. Hammered Nickel and Shale are just two of the contemporary colors available.
DeepStream’s modern Food Safe Plastic Garden Planters, shown in Shale Grey and Hammered Nickel quick ship colors, are a study in rugged architectural minimalism that transcends time and fads, while standing up to urban environments, indoor or outside.
Are you looking for an attractive, lower cost commercial planter that will stand up to the hard knocks of life on the streets? Not only is HDPE a solid color throughout, so HDPE Planters do not show scratches in the same way fiberglass or painted metal planters do, but you can also use a random orbital sander to effortlessly create a unique new finish.
Two of the modern color HDPE Plastic sheets that we stock for quick delivery custom welded planters: Shale and Hammered Nickel. Shale has a “orange peel” finish, while the Hammered Nickel has a small scalloped finish. Many more colors and textures are available, call for color samples.
HDPE will not absorb paint or dirt, and as they are not painted, they may be pressure washed for sanitation. If a pressure cleaner won’t take graffiti off, it may be removed with paint remover or a light sanding, so they are perfect for rugged urban street life.
Whether for use at home, your restaurant, or commercial business, DeepStream’s customizable HDPE Food Safe Plastic Planters might be just what you are looking for. Environmentally friendly HDPE planters can be recycled again at the end of their long life.
Food Safe Plastic Planters come with a 3-year warranty against factory defects or structural failure. Equipped with DeepStream’s stock rotomolded planter liner inside, the warranty is extended to 5 years. If you’re landscaping with plants or trees that have an aggressive root system like runner bamboo or Clusia purchase, a 3/16” thick 5086 Aluminum Planter instead, as the root ball will expand to the point that it will separate any seam and even rip the strongest plastic, or fracture fiberglass.
Food Safe Plastic Planters may be direct-planted without using liners, or customized with liners with advanced drainage to extend the 3-year warranty to 5 years , while eliminating solar gain from heating the roots. As with all planters, for plants with aggressive roots like Bamboo or Clusia, we recommend using DeepStream’s rugged Planter Liners to aid in root management and replanting, or order our Aluminum Planters.
To reduce complexity and keep costs for tall planters to a minimum, your HDPE Planters can be built with inner cross-straps to support DeepStream’s landscape contractor-grade rotomolded plastic planter liners or a simple shelf for removable potted plants at any height to meet your landscaping requirements.

DeepStream’s tall planters, often used by restaurants, do not need to be filled with expensive, messy soil as a ballast material for stability. Fill with a foot or so of inexpensive water and simply pull the plug to drain them and when you need to.
Shorter planters with optional liners to maximize the warranty period, improve drainage, and ease repotting. The planter liners may rest on foam block efficiently at minimal cost.
When ordering shorter planters with optional liners to maximize the warranty period, improve drainage, and ease repotting, the planter liners may rest on foam block efficiently at minimal cost.
In rainy locations, our planters include a self-regulating, variable depth ballast system that lowers the center of gravity with a water overflow port. There is a drainage port at the bottom of the planter, eliminating messy weep holes. When the planters need to be moved, they can be easily and cleanly lightened by draining the water, unlike planters ballasted with soil or other material.
Food Safe Plastic Garden Planter Prices vs Fiberglass Planter Prices. Zinc casters and mounting base for planters on wheels add between $230 and $310. Add $130 to that price for stainless-steel casters. *Note that budget pricing may change as materials costs change.

DeepStream Plastic Liners and 3-layer Drain Pads with TREMdrain & Biobarrier complete your Wood Planter
When selecting your outdoor garden planters, keep in mind that drainage is critical to the health of your plants grown in containers, and it is very difficult to remedy after the fact.
DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter pads. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 proprietary stock plastic planter liners, to which various plugs, hose barbs, and valves may be attached. Liners are non-structural and are meant to be placed inside planter boxes.
DeepStream commercial planter liners with advanced drainage.
Generally, more container-grown plants die from drowning than from lack of water. “Old school” drain holes on the bottom and gravel drainage medium simply do not work and will quickly clog. DeepStream elevates the drainage hole center approximately 2″ up the sides of your liners to provide a “reservoir” for the tap roots and allow clay “fines” in all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.
DeepStream’s tapered stock planter liners with advanced drainage make them economical to ship and easy to replant and recondition roots.
Garden Planter liners prevent the soil from contacting the wood, preventing rot, while promoting drainage. The air space the liner creates between itself and the planter box prevents the root-ball from getting warmer than the ambient air. This space also allows you to hide drip irrigation lines and wiring for lights. The tapered shape reduces shipping costs, and makes root conditioning and replanting slide-out-easy.
Custom Planter Liners
DeepStream welds Waterproof Planter Liners to fit any size planter.
These Custom-Welded Modular Planter Liners for a large commercial roof deck landscaping project are equipped with hidden drainage and drip irrigation.
Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local weather, you may need to add more drains to your garden plantes. Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls.
DeepStream’s advanced 3-Layer Drain Pad
Drain pads, when used in conjunction with clean 1-2 mm inorganic drainage material to slow the flow of the water to the drain, could prevent clogged drains for a decade or more in your garden planters. Biobarrier will not stop aggressive root systems like runner bamboo and Clusia.
The basic components of DeepStream’s 3-part advanced drainage filter pad: drain board, filter fabric and Biobarrier.
DeepStream’s advanced drainage pads: TremDrain Board improves drainage area and efficiency, filter fabric reduces drain blockage by silt and organic material, Biobarrier helps prevent root blockage.
Drain packs must be used in conjunction with a proper planting medium for container gardening, and inorganic filtering material to slow the drainage water so that any clay “fines” that could coat the geotextile will instead settle to the bottom of the liner below the side-wall drain.
When selecting your outdoor planters, keep in mind that drainage is critical to the health of your plants grown in containers, and it is very difficult to remedy after the fact. The design of the planter liner is one of the important components.
Generally, more tended plants die from drowning than from lack of water. “Old school” drain holes on the bottom and gravel drainage medium simply do not work and will quickly clog. DeepStream elevates the drainage hole center approximately 2″ up the sides of your liners to provide a “reservoir” for the tap roots, but more importantly, that space allows clay “fines” present in all most all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.
DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter packs. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 stock proprietary plastic planter liners, to which various plugs, hose barbs and valves may be attached. Liners are non-structural and are meant to be placed inside planter boxes.
Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local climate, you may need to add more drains. Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls with a hole saw bit. If additional threaded ports are needed we stock two-part watertight bulkhead fittings.
Planting mediums for container gardening are as varied as local climates and plant species. Here in Florida, we can get 6” of rain in a day in the rainy season, so we need a quick draining material and we often add perlite. If you have a dry climate, you may need to add more vermiculite to retain water. Since Florida also has a dry season where it my not rain for a month or more at a time, we use drip irrigation, as the planting medium we use for the rainy season dries out far too quickly during the dry season. For more in-depth information on drip irrigation, drainage, and the many aspects of container gardening check the Helpful Resource Links to planterblog.com listed at the bottom of this page.

The hidden modular structural aluminum frame used to construct Long Wood Garden Planters supports waterproof rotomolded 100% recycled HDPE food safe plastic planter liners with advanced drainage. The resulting air gap shields the plants root ball from solar gain for better growth with less water and hides drip irrigation and lighting systems.
On a clear 80-degree day, the temperature of the outside skin of a planter, or pot, can reach 124-degrees, steaming the root ball inside, unless there is a thermal air gap between the planter box and liner, as found on DeepStream’s planter design.
Measuring a planter box’s solar thermal gain of 124-degrees on a sunny 80-degree day. DeepStream’s liner-inside-a-box provides a thermal gap so the root ball stays at air temperature.

DeepStream Plastic Liners and 3-layer Drain Pads with TREMdrain & Biobarrier complete your Wood Planter
When selecting your outdoor garden planters, keep in mind that drainage is critical to the health of your plants grown in containers, and it is very difficult to remedy after the fact.
DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter pads. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 proprietary stock plastic planter liners, to which various plugs, hose barbs, and valves may be attached. Liners are non-structural and are meant to be placed inside planter boxes.
DeepStream commercial planter liners with advanced drainage.
Generally, more container-grown plants die from drowning than from lack of water. “Old school” drain holes on the bottom and gravel drainage medium simply do not work and will quickly clog. DeepStream elevates the drainage hole center approximately 2″ up the sides of your liners to provide a “reservoir” for the tap roots and allow clay “fines” in all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.
DeepStream’s tapered stock planter liners with advanced drainage make them economical to ship and easy to replant and recondition roots.
Garden Planter liners prevent the soil from contacting the wood, preventing rot, while promoting drainage. The air space the liner creates between itself and the planter box prevents the root-ball from getting warmer than the ambient air. This space also allows you to hide drip irrigation lines and wiring for lights. The tapered shape reduces shipping costs, and makes root conditioning and replanting slide-out-easy.
Custom Planter Liners
DeepStream welds Waterproof Planter Liners to fit any size planter.
These Custom-Welded Modular Planter Liners for a large commercial roof deck landscaping project are equipped with hidden drainage and drip irrigation.
Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local weather, you may need to add more drains to your garden plantes. Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls.
DeepStream’s advanced 3-Layer Drain Pad
Drain pads, when used in conjunction with clean 1-2 mm inorganic drainage material to slow the flow of the water to the drain, could prevent clogged drains for a decade or more in your garden planters. Biobarrier will not stop aggressive root systems like runner bamboo and Clusia.
The basic components of DeepStream’s 3-part advanced drainage filter pad: drain board, filter fabric and Biobarrier.
DeepStream’s advanced drainage pads: TremDrain Board improves drainage area and efficiency, filter fabric reduces drain blockage by silt and organic material, Biobarrier helps prevent root blockage.
Drain packs must be used in conjunction with a proper planting medium for container gardening, and inorganic filtering material to slow the drainage water so that any clay “fines” that could coat the geotextile will instead settle to the bottom of the liner below the side-wall drain.
When selecting your outdoor planters, keep in mind that drainage is critical to the health of your plants grown in containers, and it is very difficult to remedy after the fact. The design of the planter liner is one of the important components.
Generally, more tended plants die from drowning than from lack of water. “Old school” drain holes on the bottom and gravel drainage medium simply do not work and will quickly clog. DeepStream elevates the drainage hole center approximately 2″ up the sides of your liners to provide a “reservoir” for the tap roots, but more importantly, that space allows clay “fines” present in all most all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.
DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter packs. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 stock proprietary plastic planter liners, to which various plugs, hose barbs and valves may be attached. Liners are non-structural and are meant to be placed inside planter boxes.
Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local climate, you may need to add more drains. Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls with a hole saw bit. If additional threaded ports are needed we stock two-part watertight bulkhead fittings.
Planting mediums for container gardening are as varied as local climates and plant species. Here in Florida, we can get 6” of rain in a day in the rainy season, so we need a quick draining material and we often add perlite. If you have a dry climate, you may need to add more vermiculite to retain water. Since Florida also has a dry season where it my not rain for a month or more at a time, we use drip irrigation, as the planting medium we use for the rainy season dries out far too quickly during the dry season. For more in-depth information on drip irrigation, drainage, and the many aspects of container gardening check the Helpful Resource Links to planterblog.com listed at the bottom of this page.

Architects specify Live Wall and Green Roof projects to soften and cool building and parking structures naturally. Landscape Architects choose reliable Tournesol Siteworks systems.
The knock your socks off visual impact of the Interior Live Wall created out of a vast array of orchids in full bloom at the Atlanta Botanical Garden is a living work of art. This botanical Tour de Force was created using the TerraScreen® by Tournesol Siteworks — a simple, cost-effective, and maintenance-friendly live wall system.
Live Wall and Green Roof Systems: whether you are creating a large commercial outdoor live wall, green wall, vertical garden, or an intimate interior live wall, one of Tournesol’s 4 Live Wall systems, or their green roof system, will make your project successful. DeepStream started as a customer of Tournesol more than 18 years ago and have we been a high-volume distributor of this 35-year-old industry leading manufacturer for over 14 years.
Isn’t social contact wonderful! Plants put Love in the air and Tournesol Siteworks’ Exterior Green Wall systems, distributed by DeepStream, soften and cool urban environments, making them more appealing for all to enjoy.
The Green Roof movement is great, but the ratio of wall to roof area is much greater on high-rise buildings. If Architects designed balconies with drainage and water spigots built into their clients’ high-rise buildings, it would allow residents and offices to help offset their impact to a far greater degree both in terms of cooling and exchanging oxygen for carbon and absorbing other pollutants. Still, green walls can be retrofitted with live wall systems by Tournesol and make a big difference.
Tournesol VGM® modular Exterior Live Wall System mounts to the exterior of any structurally sound wall, including building facades as seen here. The mounting brackets are quickly and easily assembled to the box, and an optional anti-lift arm prevents removal by vandals or unexpected weather or seismic activity.
Tournesol Siteworks manufactures a suite of products for commercial construction projects, offices, and even residential projects that make that vision simple, cost-effective and successful every time. Tournesol has proven solutions for nearly any climate and application. Customization and design consulting services are available to make the toughest challenges in green roof and live wall projects of any scale manageable.
Creating a successful Green Wall, Live Wall, or Vertical Garden starts here.
Green Roof
Green Roof landscaping is quick and easy using Tournesol GRT3 Modular Green Roof HDPE UV-resistant plastic trays which hold engineered soil and plants. The green roof can go directly on existing roofs without retrofit and the associated costs, while providing storm water retention, insulation, and membrane protection.
GRT3 Modular Green Roof Trays — A modular green roof is made up of a series of trays, which hold engineered soil and plants. The green roof can go directly on existing roofs, assuming necessary support exists, without retrofit and the associated costs. It provides the important elements associated with green roofs, including stormwater retention, insulation, and membrane protection. Tournesol GRT3 green roof trays are made of extremely durable HDPE, with 60% recycled content. Unlike injection molded trays, HDPE is UV-stable, resisting cracking and splitting. They are available in 4” and 8” depths. Raised drain holes at corners and along channels allow for 3/4” of storm water retention after rain fall, augmenting drip irrigation for minimal water use.
Live Walls can do even more than a green roof to cool your building, clean the air, and reduce energy cost.
Interior Live Wall
Interior Live Wall. Often described as living art, the TerraScreen® allows the designer, landscaper, or owner to use plants to establish a living, breathing focal point, set a mood, or celebrate a season. TerraScreen® is a simple, cost-effective and maintenance-friendly live wall, designed especially for interior and “intimate” exterior green wall installations.

Often described as living art, the TerraScreen® allows the designer, landscaper, or owner to use plants to establish a living, breathing focal point, set a mood, or celebrate a season. All panels are made of black powder- and zinc-coated steel wire, with integral wall brackets. Panels may be mounted adjacent to or above one another to create a larger coverage area. The sides of the TerraScreen® system can be covered with a simple powder-coated steel cover. The irrigation system may be connected manually to a hose or water cart, or plumbed to a timer system.
Live Wall Planters let you live in a city clad in living, breathing green, as the plants absorb heat and carbon while giving off oxygen. It turns an overheated, unfeeling space into a living, breathing oasis.
Exterior Live Wall
Exterior Live Wall at the Beverley Hills Waldorf Astoria created using Tournesol VGM® modular Live Wall System uses lightweight soil block, not dirt inside a removable recycled plastic planting module that attaches to stainless steel hanging rails that can be attached to the side of a building or a freestanding frame to build walls. Once grown in, it provides instant, complete coverage of any vertical surface.
At its heart, the Tournesol VGM® modular Live Wall System is a recycled plastic planting module attached to stainless steel hanging rails. Once grown in, it provides instant, complete coverage of any vertical surface. A wide, controllable variety of plant designs can be used in any horticultural condition. Modules are available with an optional stabilized growing media for peak plant performance. Designed to last the life of the building, VGM® is backed by Tournesol’s 30 years of experience.
Tournesol VGM3 modular system of replaceable 20″ x 22″ x 10″ recycled plastic blocks can be fixed to rails inside a frame to erect massive Live Walls like this one, seen at the New Orleans Botanical Garden. The stabilized polymer media blocks inside hold up to five times their weight in water, yet they are still lighter than nearly any other engineered soil mix. They will not dissolve or fall out in inclement weather.
Easy Live Wall
Live wall made budget-friendly and DIY easy. Hang the VGP Live Wall Tray on a VGP mounting panel, standard 2″ x 3″ welded mesh or wire, or along rods or stainless-steel rope. The VGP tray is designed with overflow drain from a sub-irrigation reservoir, so the pots will cascade drain to a central point. Add a wick and the reservoir will provide optimal water use for long-term growing, and easy replacement or change-out as desired.
A Live Wall the easy way. Designed for residential and light commercial applications, the 100% recycled polypropylene VGP Live Wall Tray uses standard 1-gallon nursery pots in the planting tray for long-term growing, easy watering, and lift out easy change-out as desired.
A system for residential and light commercial applications, the VGP Live Wall Tray System is a versatile, easy-to-install living wall. Few living wall systems offer the versatility of the VGP live wall. At the heart of the system is the planting tray, made of 100% recycled polypropylene. When direct-planted with two 4″ or one 1-gallon nursery pots, it provides a lush, rich-looking living wall at a price significantly lower than our commercially oriented VGM modular living wall. The trays may be hung on a VGP mounting panel, standard 2″ x 3″ welded mesh or wire, or along rods or stainless-steel rope. Each tray incorporates an anti-lift arm to prevent unwanted removal, but requires no other bolts or clips. Trays are hung at either 6″ or 9″ intervals, depending on the plant size and the project budget. The VGP tray is designed with overflow drain from a sub-irrigation reservoir, so the pots will cascade drain to a central point. Add a wick and the reservoir will provide optimal water use. The generously sized pot will allow for long term growing, and easy replacement or change-out as desired.
Structures as mundane as parking garages become the means of expressing the vibrancy of the environment. The line dividing landscape and architecture becomes blurred, and the world is a better place for it. Tournesol Live Wall solutions and consulting tame the challenges faced by architects, designers, owners, and contractors in making this happen.
Vertical Garden
Taking a Vertical garden to new heights is easy and cost-effective with ridged VertiGreen® trellis panels mounted Tournesol’s VGM Modular living wall system. Tournesol’s systems can reduce the overall cost of covering a wall with green to cool the building with shade while protecting the stone surface. The trellis is easy to attach and protects the underlying wall structure, while it supports climbing plants and vines. Mounting is efficient with wall mount brackets which integrate with Tournesol’s rectangular and square fiberglass planters.
A Vertical Garden thrives growing up 3-dimension Trellis wall panels which also protect the mounting wall from the plants. Tournesol Siteworks offers the VertiGreen® rigid commercial-grade Trellis Panels with two grid sizes because every plant grows a little differently. The modular trellis will support and protect robust foliage growth, whether attached to a wall or mounted between posts as a “green” fence.

Large Planters for Trees are a complete landscaping system, custom-built by American craftsmen to any size, and backed by a Lifetime Structural Warranty.
DeepStream Designs’ commercial 36″ square Large Planters for Trees, crafted from 100% recycled plastic lumber, were selected for a curated exhibition at world-famous Long House Reserve, the Hamptons’ tranquil design oasis of art, architecture, and landscaping. DeepStream planters are engineered with our proprietary trademark anodized aluminum legs supporting a hidden structural aluminum frame, and planter liners with advanced drainage inside.
Don’t confuse these Large Planters for Trees with carpenter-built planters that will fall apart in 3-5 years, or concrete and fiberglass planters that will crack. These planters provide the ideal Landscaping environment and last for decades. With our proprietary structural aluminum frame system we can build planters to ANY SIZE.
Architect-specified Large Planters for Trees, crafted with maintenance-free, environmentally friendly, money saving, UV-Stabilized 100% recycled HDPE food-safe plastic lumber with a 50-year warranty by its manufacturer, provide labor-saving, protective parapet walls between terraces.
These are the Large Planters for Trees you are looking for. They will stand the test of time for decades, providing both you and the environment the lowest cost of ownership over time. DeepStream builds custom marine alloy aluminum planters and wood planters with structural aluminum frames in any size you need.
A fresh creative approach to urban landscaping. Modern rectangular and square Large Wood Planters for Trees make an attractive natural safety barrier rugged enough for urban streets.
Our Large Wood Planters for Trees are engineered and constructed with our trademark structural anodized aluminum legs and sturdy hidden aluminum frame which holds a separate rugged plastic planter liner. Since we anodize our leg extrusions, there is no paint or powder coating to fail. If you choose planter boxes made with planks of environmentally friendly 100% recycled plastic lumber they are UV-resistant, with a 50-year warranty by the manufacturer, and they may be pressure cleaned.

Since we anodize our leg extrusions, there is no paint or powder coating to fail.
Cost-effective modular installations of Large Wood Planters for Trees are made possible by the hidden 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum structural frame, attached to DeepStream’s trademark marine-anodized extruded T-leg to construct planters of any size rectilinear shape. The planks of the planter box are contained by the aluminum channels in the legs, not held by fasteners, allowing it to expand and contract without tearing itself apart.
DeepStream Designs manufactures our Large Commercial Wood Planters for Trees to meet the demanding requirements of Landscape Architects, hotels, condominiums, public buildings, businesses, and urban dwellers who cannot afford the time, money, disruption, mess, damage, and inconvenience required to replace carpenter-built wood planters or cracking fiberglass and concrete planters again and again.
Stand-alone Large Commercial Wood Planters for Trees prevent structural damage and expensive remediation associated with leaking built-in concrete planters.
OK, the photo at left shows an extreme case, but as buildings settle, and all buildings do over time, unseen cracks appear. Also the tree roots that tear apart huge stone temples in Central America exert the same expansionary forces on buildings. Cracks allow water to run along the lines of steel rebar used in poured concrete construction, causing the rebar to rust and expand up to 20X its original size. This creates an effect called “spalling,” which cracks the concrete and wreaks the structural integrity. Correcting spalling is a very expensive and disruptive process. Stand-alone planters in modular liners avoid this inevitable problem entirely.
I think a lot of Architects, developers, and general contractors have not lived in poured-in-place concrete buildings that are so predominant here in Miami, or they wouldn’t design or build poured-in-place concrete planters. Even with the best waterproofing systems, they will leak, and much sooner than you think. Sure, your warranty as a builder may be up, but you leave the HOA with expensive special assessments and disruption to solve the problems you could have, should have, avoided in the first place. Even if you install plastic liners with a horizontal flange over the top edge from the start, eventually every liner will fail, leading to unseen structural damage.
If you do have a building with leaking concrete slabs and you have access to the slab there are expensive, but effective, solutions that involve metal fittings inserted holes drilled along the crack lines that have hoses attached to pump in a proprietary agent under tremendous hydraulic pressure that will displace the water, run along the rebar and sealing it against further damage. We have experience with this system as a customer in one of our building so feel free to contact Sheila, (305) 857-0466 for more information. But believe us when we say it is better to avoid this process up front.
These are the planters that we created while building our own residential condominium project, where we still live today. Stop by our Coconut Grove offices and see both the problem and the solution, in person.
Specifying DeepStream’s proprietary anodized aluminum legs and engineered frame system to create modular Large Wood Planters for Trees saves budget and resources, while eliminating the eventuality of structural damage to the building caused by leaking poured-in-place concrete planters.
At our shop, you will find skilled American craftsmen building custom planters and planter liners to the exact dimensions you need, one planter at a time. What you won’t find are assembly lines, or custom or design fees.
As a complete 3-component engineered system, the separate planter box, constructed from either natural 3/4″ thick tongue-and-groove solid tropical wood or recycled plastic lumber planks, is held by the slots in our proprietary aluminum legs, engineered to allow the natural expansion and contraction of the planks without fasteners to pull apart.
The elegance of Ipe wood and our trademark structural anodized aluminum legs never fail to visually impress. However, they are only part of the reason our Large Wood Planters for Trees provide the ideal landscaping environment for plants to thrive. The structural aircraft aluminum frame and rugged plastic planter liner with advanced drainage give the system strength and longevity, preventing wood rot, hiding drip irrigation, and preventing solar gain steaming the root ball.
Large Wood Planters for Trees use 3/4″ thick tongue-and-groove solid tropical wood or recycled plastic lumber planks are held by the slots in our proprietary aluminum legs engineered to allow the natural expansion and contraction of the planks to constrain them without fasteners to pull apart.
The internal aluminum frame houses a separate rugged, waterproof, rotomolded, UV-resistant LLDPE plastic stock planter liner, which is tapered for easy repotting and designed for advanced drainage. The gap between the planter box and the liner provides a thermal break preventing the root ball from overheating as the sun heats the outer layer of a single layer pot or planter. The gap also hides drip irrigation lines, drains, and wiring for lights.
As shown by Sheila, the President of DeepStream Designs, on a clear 80-degree day, the temperature of the outside of planks on Commercial Wood Planters, or pots, can reach 124-degrees, steaming the root ball inside, unless there is a thermal air gap between the wood planter box and waterproof liner, as found with DeepStream’s unique liner-within-a-wood-planter-box design.
Measuring the solar thermal gain, 124-degrees on a sunny 80-degree day, on the outside planks of Commercial Wood Planters. DeepStream’s liner-inside-a-box provides a thermal gap so the root ball stays at air temperature and landscaping flourishes. The waterproof liner inside the planter box has advanced drainage and hides drip irrigation lines.
As with all DeepStream solutions, these large Planters for Trees are hand-built by American craftsmen and backed with a Lifetime Structural Warranty. You order and buy factory-direct for the lowest cost, while eliminating confusion and delays. Every planter is custom-built to your specifications, with volume discounts, and never a design fee.
Stability is a function of form.
It is important to consider the stability of your installation, and pick a form factor appropriate to the ultimate height and size of the tree and maximum wind conditions. Trees such as palms, without a lot of branches and foliage, have lower wind resistance. Palms do better on windy roof tops and terraces here in hurricane-prone Florida. While the weight of the planted planter will keep it from blowing away, a planter with a narrow base, relative to the leverage of wind against foliage, can tip over.
DeepStream’s Large Wood Garden Planters for Trees are lightweight, allowing the roof to support the maximum volume of planting medium while staying within load limits, so that even olive trees like this one,which will grow to approximately 10 feet high, are possible on a roof deck. The separate planter liner hides the drip irrigation system and the wiring for the lights.Architects often use DeepStream’s modern modular long rectangular garden planters and individual square Large Planters for Trees to create a cool and natural protective parapet wall between different levels, both at ground level and on roof decks.

DeepStream Plastic Liners and 3-layer Drain Pads with TREMdrain & Biobarrier complete your Wood Planter
When selecting your outdoor garden planters, keep in mind that drainage is critical to the health of your plants grown in containers, and it is very difficult to remedy after the fact.
DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter pads. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 proprietary stock plastic planter liners, to which various plugs, hose barbs, and valves may be attached. Liners are non-structural and are meant to be placed inside planter boxes.
DeepStream commercial planter liners with advanced drainage.
Generally, more container-grown plants die from drowning than from lack of water. “Old school” drain holes on the bottom and gravel drainage medium simply do not work and will quickly clog. DeepStream elevates the drainage hole center approximately 2″ up the sides of your liners to provide a “reservoir” for the tap roots and allow clay “fines” in all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.
DeepStream’s tapered stock planter liners with advanced drainage make them economical to ship and easy to replant and recondition roots.
Garden Planter liners prevent the soil from contacting the wood, preventing rot, while promoting drainage. The air space the liner creates between itself and the planter box prevents the root-ball from getting warmer than the ambient air. This space also allows you to hide drip irrigation lines and wiring for lights. The tapered shape reduces shipping costs, and makes root conditioning and replanting slide-out-easy.
Custom Planter Liners
DeepStream welds Waterproof Planter Liners to fit any size planter.
These Custom-Welded Modular Planter Liners for a large commercial roof deck landscaping project are equipped with hidden drainage and drip irrigation.
Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local weather, you may need to add more drains to your garden plantes. Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls.
DeepStream’s advanced 3-Layer Drain Pad
Drain pads, when used in conjunction with clean 1-2 mm inorganic drainage material to slow the flow of the water to the drain, could prevent clogged drains for a decade or more in your garden planters. Biobarrier will not stop aggressive root systems like runner bamboo and Clusia.
The basic components of DeepStream’s 3-part advanced drainage filter pad: drain board, filter fabric and Biobarrier.
DeepStream’s advanced drainage pads: TremDrain Board improves drainage area and efficiency, filter fabric reduces drain blockage by silt and organic material, Biobarrier helps prevent root blockage.
Landscaping large areas with Extra Large Planters for Trees.
Specified by Landscape Architects, DeepStream’s lightweight, Extra Large Wood Planters for Trees, built using our proprietary structural aluminum frame system and modular planter liners hiding drip irrigation and wiring for lights, are used to lushly landscape several expansive areas of the world class 12th story roof terrace atop Boston’s historic Exchange Place.An extra Large Wood Garden Planter 21 inches deep created with DeepStream’s trademark proprietary structural aluminum frame with cross bracing in a U-shape with the longest side 24 feet long by 16 feet on the ends. Although this planter was designed with modular stock planter liners sitting directly on the deck, it is too shallow for trees, but it gives you an idea of how large and versatile DeepStream’s modular planter system can be.
Extra Large Wood Garden Planter for Trees 31 inches deep, engineered with DeepStream’s trademark proprietary structural aluminum frame with double cross bracing in a rectangular shape with the longest side 18 feet long by 12 feet on the ends. This planter was designed to use modular stock planter liners sitting directly on the deck to maximize planting depth and reduce unnecessary costs.

Modular Custom-Welded Plastic Planter Liners are used on roof decks to landscape large areas with trees.
Large areas can be planted and easily irrigated with hidden drip irrigation inside modular planters. When DeepStream’s cost-effective and rugged rotomolded LLDPE stock liner won’t work, we can craft custom-welded modular liners with 1/4″, 3/8″, or 1/2″ co-polypropylene, as used in the construction of large chemical tanks, or HDPE, as we use in our food-safe plastic planters. Polypropylene is extremely durable, but should be buried as even black is not UV-stable. Any color of HDPE is impervious to the sun’s UV rays.
Large areas can be planted and easily irrigated with hidden drip irrigation and custom-welded modular plastic planter liners used inside Large Planters for Trees. Avoid trees and plants with aggressive root systems like Clusia or Bamboo.
You can add side-wall access ports for drip irrigation and drainage holes on-site with a simple hole saw. Drain Pads, proper drainage techniques to slow the water flow, and selecting appropriate planting mediums are critical when plantings are expected to be maintained for years without digging them up.
Construction techniques include double-welded gussets, shown in the bottom picture, or cross-straps, for optimum wall support. You can add side-wall drainage holes on-site with a simple hole saw.

DeepStream Designs’ rugged double-welded, gusseted, leak-proof Large Planters for Trees are fully water tested prior to shipping.
Custom-Welded Aluminum Large Planters for Trees.
In keeping with DeepStream’s commitment to Sustainable Design and craftsmanship, we create square and rectangular commercial-grade Aluminum Planters in a natural finish 5086 Marine alloy.
The cube form is a popular stable form for a Larger Planter for Trees. Internal side wall gussets are required on large planters, or angles welded across the middle of the plates for large trees or trees with aggressive roots. 5086 Aluminum is use in ocean-going vessels and will not crack or split.
DeepStream’s Square and Rectangular Modern Aluminum Planters are commercial Landscape Architect-grade, made with stiff 5086 3/16″ thick, or thicker as required, marine-grade aluminum, as used on yachts and commercial ships. They are the strongest and most durable aluminum planters available. Construction techniques include double-welded gussets, shown in the bottom picture, or cross-straps, for optimum wall support.
Aluminum Large Planters for Trees construction techniques include double-welded gussets, as shown, or even cross-strap, for optimum wall support against bowing under root pressure.
Large Planters for Trees can be constructed out of stiff 5086 marine alloy aluminum in any practical size, given the particulars of the site location and aluminum sheet size. Aluminum sheet thickness and construction techniques vary by dimension and landscaping details.
While the initial investment is higher the total lifetime cost of DeepStream’s Aluminum planters will be many times less than that of painted aluminum planters, even if you only own them for 5-10 years. It simply takes more labor to produce flawless unpainted aluminum planters, but there is no paint or powder coating to bubble and chip, failing in as little as 2 years. The more rigid and expensive 5086 marine alloy we use is, at a minimum, 3 times thicker than standard painted aluminum planters. However 5086 aluminum, left in its natural state, creates its own patina that protects it from oxidation for decades in demanding marine environments.

When purchasing a Large Planter for Trees, it is critical to note that as trees grow, their root ball gets larger and larger. With some species, the container size will limit the size of the tree; with others the root ball continues to grow. An ever-expanding root ball will either push the tree up on a pedestal of its own roots, or push out and eventually break the liner.
If you visit the ancient jungle ruins of the Mayans and Aztecs, you will recognize that, even the giant stone blocks of the temples, weighing thousands of pounds, will be pushed apart, split, and toppled by tree roots. Streetscapes constantly have to deal with root control. This, along with selecting an appropriate planting mixture and micro-climates, is another important reason to consult with a Landscape Architect experienced with container gardening when planning your project.
DeepStream’s stock planter liners are roto-molded in one piece with LLDPE recycled plastic so that tree roots have no weak spots to attack. DeepStream’s custom-welded liners used for major plantings are engineered with thicker 3/8″ co-polypropylene, or 1/2″ HDPE, as used in construction of large chemical tanks. The panels are gusseted and welded from both sides before being water-tested to ensure their ultimate durability in your project.
It is possible for plants with aggressive root systems to grow so thick that they will eventually burst any planter liner, and even bow reinforced aluminum planters and crack poured-in-place concrete planters, so it’s best to consult with a Landscape Architect when selecting your landscaping.
Even the most rugged waterproof planter liner will eventually succumb to an aggressive root system. This Clusia has been removed from its liner every year for 7 years to have its roots trimmed back. The following year the roots began to rip the thick liner apart at the top rim. The long-term solution for landscaping with plants that have aggressive root systems like these are planters constructed from Corten steel or 5086 aluminum.
The bases of trees will be pushed 6-12″ higher by their roots over a five to ten year period as the trees grow to their mature height for that size planter. Knowing that in advance, plant the root ball deeper in the planter to plan for the eventual rise and filled the recess with other plantings for the duration.

Drain packs must be used in conjunction with a proper planting medium for container gardening, and inorganic filtering material to slow the drainage water so that any clay “fines” that could coat the geotextile will instead settle to the bottom of the liner below the side-wall drain.
When selecting your outdoor planters, keep in mind that drainage is critical to the health of your plants grown in containers, and it is very difficult to remedy after the fact. The design of the planter liner is one of the important components.
Generally, more tended plants die from drowning than from lack of water. “Old school” drain holes on the bottom and gravel drainage medium simply do not work and will quickly clog. DeepStream elevates the drainage hole center approximately 2″ up the sides of your liners to provide a “reservoir” for the tap roots, but more importantly, that space allows clay “fines” present in all most all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.
DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter packs. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 stock proprietary plastic planter liners, to which various plugs, hose barbs and valves may be attached. Liners are non-structural and are meant to be placed inside planter boxes.
Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local climate, you may need to add more drains. Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls with a hole saw bit. If additional threaded ports are needed we stock two-part watertight bulkhead fittings.
Planting mediums for container gardening are as varied as local climates and plant species. Here in Florida, we can get 6” of rain in a day in the rainy season, so we need a quick draining material and we often add perlite. If you have a dry climate, you may need to add more vermiculite to retain water. Since Florida also has a dry season where it my not rain for a month or more at a time, we use drip irrigation, as the planting medium we use for the rainy season dries out far too quickly during the dry season. For more in-depth information on drip irrigation, drainage, and the many aspects of container gardening check the Helpful Resource Links to planterblog.com listed at the bottom of this page.

3-layer Drain Packs with TREMdrain and Biobarrier complete your advanced planter drainage solution.
DeepStream pioneered 3-layer planter liner drain pads that are constructed of the waffle like TREMdrain which provides a larger surface area for drainage with drainage channels, Bio-Barrier plastic tables infused with root repellent which is wrapped in geo-textile filter fabric and hot glued together in a single pad that is placed over drain holes to improve planter liner drainage.
The first layer is TREMDrain: a waffled plastic pad that enhances the drainage area with crush-resistant channels covered with a layer of geotextile fabric.
The second layer is Biobarrier root control: Considered effective for 10 years by its manufacturer, we have found that it is not effective against plants with aggressive root structures like Ficus, Bamboo, and Clusia. Biobarrier is a geotextile fabric with permanently attached nodules of trifluralin, which are engineered to slowly release it to create a vapor zone where roots will not grow. Trifluralin is not systemic, so it’s not absorbed by plants, and there is no residual or cumulative effect on the plants. Roots that are away from the 2″ – 4″ zone are unaffected. Trifluralin has been used for more than 40 years and, with a US EPA Class IV rating of 10,000, it is considered practically non-toxic, ranking it between sugar (29,700) and salt (3,000).
The third layer is a geotextile fabric pouch: Encasing the Biobarrier pad, this pouch provides two more layers of filtering to the geotextile fabric pad of the Biobarrier backing and the layer of geotextile covering the TREMDrain, before excess water flows out of the liner drains.
It is critical not to crush the pad against the liner drain with a hard root ball, as it will make a perfect seal and prevent all drainage. Please note that drain pads are designed to keep the planter liner drain from clogging as long as possible, but they will not make drain water “clear.”
Drain pads must be used in conjunction with a proper planting medium for container gardening, and inorganic filtering material to slow the drainage water so that any clay “fines” that could coat the geotextile will instead settle to the bottom of the liner below the side-wall drain of DeepStreams’ stock planter liners.
Fiberglass Planters and Pots by Tournesol Siteworks are the high-quality outdoor commercial fiberglass planters your looking for. Large or small they are available in 13 distinctive styles and many sizes, forms, and colors.
The timeless classic form of this Arcade Fiberglass Garden Planter creates a dramatic entrance.
As a developer, general contractor, and planter manufacturers with thousands of installations spanning almost two decades, DeepStream understands commercial and homeowner needs and high quality fiberglass planters.
DeepStream started as a customer of Tournesol while building one of our own residential projects. Now, almost 2 decades later, we have been a knowledgeable, authorized high-volume nationwide distributor of their fiberglass planters for more than 15 years.
Fiberglass is a relatively inexpensive way to create complex shapes that can add a dramatic, modern look to your residential or commercial Landscaping projects, as shown by these tall, tapered copper fiberglass garden planters.
Fiberglass makes it easy to create complex angular shapes that add a dramatic modern look to your residential and commercial landscaping projects, as shown by these tall, copper fiberglass garden planters designed by Luxxbox.
Tournesol Siteworks Fiberglass Garden Planters have been specified by Landscape Architects, Contractors, and Builders for 36+ years. Their fiberglass garden planters have an industry leading 3-year warranty.
The long rectangular shape of the Wilshire Fiberglass Garden Planters is a universal form used by both aluminum and fiberglass planters, as it looks great in almost every location. Simple clean, modern lines are equally at home on a sidewalk, hanging from the side of a building or parking garage.
The long bronze-colored rounded rectangular and cube-shaped Metro Fiberglass Garden Planters are a creative take on a classic form with just the right proportions and modern lines that versatile fiberglass reproduces perfectly.
DeepStream can supply your Fiberglass Planters cost-effectively, offering 13 distinct Fiberglass-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Planter design collections.
Contact Sheila at (305) 857-0466 or dsdmiami@gmail.com for detailed on-line catalog information, wholesale pricing, and delivery times. Spring and summer are the busiest time for installation of fiberglass garden planters and lead times can stretch into months, so order early.
The Craftsman collection was inspired by a vase made by Oakland arts-and-crafts master Dirk van Erp. The “hammered” texture integral to these Fiberglass Garden Planters replicates the hand-hammered copper created in his workshop. The metal-infused finishes allow the original intent he had to come to life, albeit on a far larger scale than would have been possible then.
Extra-large, rounded rectangular, round and cube-shaped earthen colored Metro Fiberglass Garden Planters landscaped with trees and flowering trellises impart a village vibe to the modern cobbled street courtyard of a shopping and dining district.
Commercial Fiberglass Garden Planters are created with a polyester-based fiberglass (also known as Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic, or FRP), hand-laid in open molds or sprayed from a gun as chopped glass of varying thicknesses. Fiberglass is a lightweight, strong material made up of layers of polyester resin-infused fiberglass strands. Thin inexpensive fiberglass planters are easily cracked and broken so, as always, quality is more expensive up front, but much less expensive in the long run.
The strength and durability of fiberglass depend upon the number of layers of strands and the type of resin used. The color is only in the outer layer, so chips can occur. Fiberglass itself is not waterproof, so the outer colored layer is a waterproof gelcoat and the inside of the planters are painted with a waterproofing material.
Sleek, simple, and elegantly proportioned, the collection of Urban round Fiberglass Garden Planters enhance modern landscape and architectural design. These extra-large Urban garden planters are designed to be durable even when used to block off traffic locations like this passenger drop- off area.
The ubiquitous light gray colored Wilshire Fiberglass Garden Planters are a perfect low-cost way to add visual interest to a sidewalk café seating area.
HDPE Food Safe Plastic Planters are an alternative with several advantages over fiberglass planters:
They won’t crack.
They are less expensive.
Have a faster delivery time.
They are built to custom sizes for no extra cost.
HDPE is a solid color throughout and will never absorb water.
Graffiti is easily removed and they are easily refinished.
DeepStream’s modern Food Safe Plastic Planters, shown in Shale Grey and Hammered Nickel quick-ship colors, are a study in rugged architectural minimalism that transcends time and fads, while standing up to urban environments indoors or outside. They are also available as practical planters with wheels.
These high quality commercial planters will change your perception of “plastic planters”. Unlike fiberglass planters, HDPE Planters have a solid color throughout, so they don’t show scratches like fiberglass or painted aluminum and can never absorb water. HDPE is more flexible so it does not crack like fiberglass under stress.
Like fiberglass, it is not the best material for plants with aggressive root systems. Although it won’t crack like fiberglass, it can bulge if not braced in the appropriate spots. Experienced craftsmanship and design can make all the difference. They have a 3-year warranty like fiberglass, which is extended to 5 years if used with DeepStream’s stock planter liner.
HDPE can be pressure cleaned, will not stain or hold paint, so it’s good in urban locations where it might be subject to graffiti. They can easily be refinished in place with a sanding block or random orbital sander like natural aluminum.
Choose marine alloy aluminum planters made from thick, rigid 5086 aluminum plate if you’re going to plant Clusia or other plants with aggressive root systems.
Commercial Aluminum Planters made with 5086 marine-grade aluminum are more expensive than fiberglass planters but, as they are the strongest and most rigid of the lightweight materials available, they are an excellent choice for landscaping with trees and aggressive root systems like Clusia and species of runner bamboo.
Do the job right and you do it once! These cube aluminum planters, 24″ long X 24″ wide X 24″ high, crafted from commercial grade 3/16″ thick 5086 marine alloy will withstand the aggressive root system of this Clusia, while its natural finish will withstand the salty coastal environment for decades to come. DeepStream’s recycled plastic lumber Mariner planter shown to the left of the cube is a perfect companion planter.Painted or powder coated aluminum planters made with thinner aluminum formed for strength, landscaped with bushes or flowers, are a popular cost-effective way to control access and create a sidewalk or plaza cafe. While Aluminum can be powder coated or painted any color, the warranty on the finish is limited to one or two years at best. They may be sanded and spot-painted in place, or removed and stripped by a variety of methods and refinished.
Pressure washable, unfinished marine alloy aluminum planters have a clean timeless contemporary look that will last for decades. No need for expensive stripping and refinishing ever. Like HDPE Food Safe Plastic Planters, Aluminum Planters are great to use where it might be subject to graffiti, as you can use chemical paint strippers and a random orbital sander to quickly and easily refinish them in place if a pressure washer doesn’t quite do the job.

Drain packs must be used in conjunction with a proper planting medium for container gardening, and inorganic filtering material to slow the drainage water so that any clay “fines” that could coat the geotextile will instead settle to the bottom of the liner below the side-wall drain.
When selecting your outdoor planters, keep in mind that drainage is critical to the health of your plants grown in containers, and it is very difficult to remedy after the fact. The design of the planter liner is one of the important components.
Generally, more tended plants die from drowning than from lack of water. “Old school” drain holes on the bottom and gravel drainage medium simply do not work and will quickly clog. DeepStream elevates the drainage hole center approximately 2″ up the sides of your liners to provide a “reservoir” for the tap roots, but more importantly, that space allows clay “fines” present in all most all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.
DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter packs. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 stock proprietary plastic planter liners, to which various plugs, hose barbs and valves may be attached. Liners are non-structural and are meant to be placed inside planter boxes.
Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local climate, you may need to add more drains. Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls with a hole saw bit. If additional threaded ports are needed we stock two-part watertight bulkhead fittings.
Planting mediums for container gardening are as varied as local climates and plant species. Here in Florida, we can get 6” of rain in a day in the rainy season, so we need a quick draining material and we often add perlite. If you have a dry climate, you may need to add more vermiculite to retain water. Since Florida also has a dry season where it my not rain for a month or more at a time, we use drip irrigation, as the planting medium we use for the rainy season dries out far too quickly during the dry season. For more in-depth information on drip irrigation, drainage, and the many aspects of container gardening check the Helpful Resource Links to planterblog.com listed at the bottom of this page.

Your choice of materials.
DeepStream has two frame systems: the Audubon system can use any material, and the large garden planters you see on this page are built with the Mariner planter leg, which typically uses tropical hardwood or recycled plastic lumber planks.
Please discuss with clients the benefits of saving the diminishing resource of tropical hardwood for future generations by specifying 100% recycled HDPE plastic lumber. Our recycled plastic lumber (RPL) requires no maintenance, lasts for decades without fading, as it is UV stabilized, saves your clients money, and will look better over time than wood ever will. RPL planters may be pressure cleaned for sanitation, as DeepStream’s trademark marine-anodized aluminum legs mean that there is no paint or powder coating to fail.
All natural tropical hardwood planters will turn a light gray color and show stains and mold spots if not treated with a waterproofing and UV protector several times a year. This treatment will make all wood darker over time. Longer term, say 20 years or so, even Tropical Hardwoods will begin to succumb to mold in wet environments, degrading the outer finish if you don’t maintain them.
Given the time and expense necessary to keep natural hardwood looking good, and the damage done to the rainforests to harvest it, versus the “set and forget” ease of using environmentally friendly recycled plastic lumber, you should give serious thought to which you will select for your project.
Do the job once, do it right, and enjoy the lowest cost of ownership over time for both you and the environment with no hassle. The lightweight Liner-inside-a-Planter-box design of DeepStream’s Large Wood Garden Planters eliminates root ball solar gain and hides irrigation lines and waterproof liners, while softening parapet walls of roof terraces with landscaping. Created with no-maintenance recycled plastic lumber and anodized aluminum legs and structural aluminum frame, these Planters with Trellises are backed by Lifetime Structural warranty and will last for decades.
Square and rectangular Large Wood Garden Planters crafted from dark gray 100% recycled plastic lumber are often used to create parapet walls between terraces, or to divide large spaces.
If you do order natural hardwood with DeepStream’s trademark anodized aluminum extrusions, unlike carpenter-built planters, you know that your purchase will last for decades and not waste this precious resource.
Developers use DeepStream’s cost-effective modular commercial-grade Large Wood Garden Planters specified by Landscape Architects to control access naturally, while creating space for social interaction with ample room for safe physical distancing. The modular nature of the structural aluminum frame allows these planters to be easily assembled without skilled labor, and moved or reconfigured should needs change. With a Lifetime Structural Warranty and no-maintenance recycled plastic lumber boxes and anodized aluminum legs, they may be pressure cleaned, as there is no paint or powder coating to fail. DeepStream planters and receptacles last for decades, providing the lowest total cost of ownership for the project owner and the environment.

DeepStream Plastic Liners and 3-layer Drain Pads with TREMdrain & Biobarrier complete your Wood Planter
When selecting your outdoor garden planters, keep in mind that drainage is critical to the health of your plants grown in containers, and it is very difficult to remedy after the fact.
DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter pads. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 proprietary stock plastic planter liners, to which various plugs, hose barbs, and valves may be attached. Liners are non-structural and are meant to be placed inside planter boxes.
DeepStream commercial planter liners with advanced drainage.
Generally, more container-grown plants die from drowning than from lack of water. “Old school” drain holes on the bottom and gravel drainage medium simply do not work and will quickly clog. DeepStream elevates the drainage hole center approximately 2″ up the sides of your liners to provide a “reservoir” for the tap roots and allow clay “fines” in all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.
DeepStream’s tapered stock planter liners with advanced drainage make them economical to ship and easy to replant and recondition roots.
Garden Planter liners prevent the soil from contacting the wood, preventing rot, while promoting drainage. The air space the liner creates between itself and the planter box prevents the root-ball from getting warmer than the ambient air. This space also allows you to hide drip irrigation lines and wiring for lights. The tapered shape reduces shipping costs, and makes root conditioning and replanting slide-out-easy.
Custom Planter Liners
DeepStream welds Waterproof Planter Liners to fit any size planter.
These Custom-Welded Modular Planter Liners for a large commercial roof deck landscaping project are equipped with hidden drainage and drip irrigation.
Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local weather, you may need to add more drains to your garden plantes. Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls.
DeepStream’s advanced 3-Layer Drain Pad
Drain pads, when used in conjunction with clean 1-2 mm inorganic drainage material to slow the flow of the water to the drain, could prevent clogged drains for a decade or more in your garden planters. Biobarrier will not stop aggressive root systems like runner bamboo and Clusia.
The basic components of DeepStream’s 3-part advanced drainage filter pad: drain board, filter fabric and Biobarrier.
DeepStream’s advanced drainage pads: TremDrain Board improves drainage area and efficiency, filter fabric reduces drain blockage by silt and organic material, Biobarrier helps prevent root blockage.
Drain packs must be used in conjunction with a proper planting medium for container gardening, and inorganic filtering material to slow the drainage water so that any clay “fines” that could coat the geotextile will instead settle to the bottom of the liner below the side-wall drain.
When selecting your outdoor planters, keep in mind that drainage is critical to the health of your plants grown in containers, and it is very difficult to remedy after the fact. The design of the planter liner is one of the important components.
Generally, more tended plants die from drowning than from lack of water. “Old school” drain holes on the bottom and gravel drainage medium simply do not work and will quickly clog. DeepStream elevates the drainage hole center approximately 2″ up the sides of your liners to provide a “reservoir” for the tap roots, but more importantly, that space allows clay “fines” present in all most all planting mediums to settle instead of clogging drain packs.
DeepStream pioneered modern drainage practices with side-wall drains and 3-layer drain filter packs. DeepStream places from one to three 3/4″ threaded drainage ports on its 16 stock proprietary plastic planter liners, to which various plugs, hose barbs and valves may be attached. Liners are non-structural and are meant to be placed inside planter boxes.
Depending on your plants, planting mixture, and local climate, you may need to add more drains. Additional drain holes can be added as required by drilling additional holes in the side walls with a hole saw bit. If additional threaded ports are needed we stock two-part watertight bulkhead fittings.
Planting mediums for container gardening are as varied as local climates and plant species. Here in Florida, we can get 6” of rain in a day in the rainy season, so we need a quick draining material and we often add perlite. If you have a dry climate, you may need to add more vermiculite to retain water. Since Florida also has a dry season where it my not rain for a month or more at a time, we use drip irrigation, as the planting medium we use for the rainy season dries out far too quickly during the dry season. For more in-depth information on drip irrigation, drainage, and the many aspects of container gardening check the Helpful Resource Links to planterblog.com listed at the bottom of this page.

Prices and warranty of Aluminum Planters are highly dependent on the alloy, thickness, and what finish you choose.
Many painted aluminum planters sold by others have no warranty at all. The powder coated aluminum planters we wholesale have a 5-year structural warranty, and either a 1-year or 2-year warranty, depending on which finish you choose. Painted and powder coated planters may be refinished by sanding, stripping, or media blasting, and then recoated. This may need to be done off site, entailing a considerable expense. Click here for printable PDF covering Wholesale Painted Aluminum Planter Warranty. Be aware that Trumps Tariffs on Canada may affect prices.
Unpainted “natural” 5086 aluminum planters manufactured by DeepStream have a 10-year structural warranty.There is no Trump Tariff on these planters. The natural finish will develop a deeper patina over the years providing even more protection, if you prefer the bright aluminum finish they may be easily and quickly refinished in place with a power sander. Bare aluminum planters should last for decades, provided they have not been exposed to hydrochloric or sulphuric acid, caustic soda, copper, or potassium, all of which have aggressive action on any aluminum. If you need to add any of those elements to your soil mixture for any reason, then you should also order a plastic liner.

While the total lifetime cost of DeepStream’s Aluminum planters will be many times less than that of painted aluminum planters, even if you only own them for 5-10 years, the initial cost is higher. It simply takes more labor to produce flawless unpainted aluminum planters, and the more rigid and expensive 5086 marine alloy we use is 3 times thicker than standard aluminum planters. However 5086 aluminum, left in its natural state, creates its own patina that protects it from oxidation in demanding marine environments for decades.
