DeepStream’s Commercial Wood Planters, unlike fiberglass or carpenter built wood planters, are the only commercial planter with a Lifetime Structural Warranty.
Proprietary trademark marine anodized aluminum legs and hidden structural aluminum frame supports a waterproof liner engineered to provide the lowest total cost of ownership over time for you and the environment. DeepStream custom makes each planter to meet your exact needs, so even our long and large Commercial Wood planters will last for decades.
Don’t confuse these planters for carpenter-built planters that will fall apart in 3-5 years, or fiberglass planters with a 3-year warranty. This is a complete commercial landscaping system for those who can not afford the time, money, mess, inconvenience, and potential damage required to replace carpenter-built wood planters or fiberglass planters again and again. Although an investment these planters will deliver the lowest total cost of ownership over thier lifetime.
Square and rectangular Commercial Wood Planters are available both as stand-alone planters up to 72″, or money-saving long multi-section planters of unlimited length. Both are available in natural 3/4″ thick tongue and groove solid tropical wood like Ipe, and environmentally friendly no-maintenance recycled plastic lumber.
Don’t confuse our Mariner Modern Long Commercial Planters with carpenter-built boxes that will fall apart in 3-5 years. These are a complete 3-component engineered Landscaping System:
Anodized extruded aluminum legs, with no paint or powder coating to fail, engineered to eliminate fasteners and contain the tremendous expansionary forces of wood as it cycles through countless wet and dry cycles. The legs support the hidden structural aircraft aluminum frame and are isolated from surfaces by replaceable HDPE plastic feet. Using legs of varying heights, we create an integral frame that supports accessories like screen wall, trellis, gates, and casters by design, not as an afterthought.
A separate planter box with an almost unlimited choice of panel materials, including ever-popular tropical hardwood and maintenance-free recycled plastic lumber. The planter box provides an air gap between it and the liner, which prevents solar gain from heating the root ball and hides drip irrigation and drainage systems.
For every product DeepStream’s American craftsmen create for our clients using wood or recycled plastic lumber, we plant between 50 and 100 trees in your honor through Trees For The Future. Their Forest Garden program has many positive benefits for the earth and its people, in addition to planting trees. For more information follow this link: Trees.org
Multi-section. modular, Commercial Wood Planters use DeepStream’s proprietary trademark anodized L and T legs for unlimited planter length in custom heights and widths, with no paint or powder coating to fail. As with all of DeepStream’s wood planters, all parts are replaceable and backed by a Lifetime Structural Warranty.
Liner-inside-a-planter-box design eliminates root ball solar gain, hides irrigation lines, waterproof liner, and drainage.
Trademark T and L legs extruded from marine-anodized aluminum mean there is no paint or powder coating to fail.
Standard leg heights: 21”, 31”, and 42″, with custom lengths available.
Rugged, tapered liners rotomolded from UV-resistant, food-safe, 100% recycled LLDPE plastic, with threaded side-wall drain ports for advanced drainage options.
A facade that meets your design criteria: wood, recycled plastic lumber, or designer materials like 3form or marble.
Hidden structural aluminum frame is engineered to add options like casters and screen wall using wood, glass, aluminum, or 3form Eco-resin, by design, not as an afterthought.
Damaged parts are replaceable at direct factory cost with unique “Core Replacement Program.”
Lifetime Structural Warranty.

Commercial Wood Planter Dimensions and Budget Pricing for stock liner sizes
To gain an insight into pricing, the table below shows budget pricing* for fifteen stock sizes of stand-alone planters (price includes liner and drain filter pack). We offer a 5% discount for 5-9 units, 10% discount for 10+ units.
Planters made with Recycled Plastic Lumber (RPL) are typically less expensive and require almost no maintenance. Premium Woodgrain adds about 3% to the RPL price.
PRICES are based on standard sizes to fit our stock planter liners which are created around using the best material yield and most popular sizes. While there are volume discounts, there is never a design fee or custom fee. Custom planters really do not cost more, but prices vary depending on size, material yields, and set up times. You may also need a custom-welded planter liner which will cost more than a stock planter liner.

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.
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.
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
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.
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 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.
To your prospective customers, the Restaurant Planters outside your restaurant establish their expectation about the food, service, and cleanliness inside. We recommend that you’re better off not buying planters than to have shabby, poorly maintained ones around your property.

Commercial Restaurant Planters and coordinating fixtures are a complete system, engineered and handcrafted by DeepStream in America to meet the demanding standards of fine dining restaurants.

Don’t confuse our commercial Wood Restaurant Planters with carpenter-built boxes that will fall apart in 3-5 years. DeepStream’s Wood Restaurant Planters are a complete engineered 3-part planter system with replaceable parts and Lifetime Structural Warranty:
Anodized extruded aluminum legs, with no paint or powder coating to fail, are engineered to eliminate fasteners and contain the tremendous expansionary forces of wood as it cycles through countless wet and dry cycles. The legs support the hidden structural aircraft aluminum frame and are isolated from surfaces by replaceable HDPE plastic feet.
A separate planter box with an almost unlimited choice of panel materials, including ever-popular tropical hardwood and maintenance-free recycled plastic lumber. The planter box provides an air gap between it and the liner, which prevents solar gain from heating the root ball and hides drip irrigation and drainage systems.
DeepStream’s Restaurant Planters with wooden, or maintenance-free recycled plastic, boxes are engineered with our trademark marine-anodized aluminum legs creating a hidden structural aluminum frame that supports a waterproof liner with advanced drainage. This unique frame is designed to mount accessories like casters, trellises, gates, lighting, and screen wall for windbreaks, privacy, or security while hiding drip irrigation and drainage systems and wiring for lights or enclosing stereo speakers.
Whether you are creating a sidewalk cafe on a busy street or quiet courtyard space, DeepStream knows it is critical that your potential customer receive an inviting visual message from the space created by our Restaurant Planters that is consistent with your own commitment to a quality dining experience inside. Ugly, rotting wood planters that are falling apart, or chipped and scratched fiberglass planters in front of your restaurant are worse than no planters at all.
When space is at a premium for your sidewalk cafe, DeepStream has 12″ and 18″ wide planters with a separate plastic liner inside the outer facade which incorporates state-of-the-art drainage. The rugged rotomolded liner ensures maximum durability, as the planting medium never touches the wood and the harshest sun does not bake the root ball, which causes unsightly plantings. Our design also easily conceals labor and water-saving drip irrigation lines between the liner and box.
Our attractive, low-maintenance planters use nature to delineate additional seating space in an urban environment. We have the planters and custom fixtures you have been looking for if your successful, busy, upscale restaurant cannot afford the time, money, disruption, mess, damage, and inconvenience required to replace carpenter-built wood or lightweight fiberglass planters again and again as they tear themselves apart in just a few years.
With DeepStream’s unique Mariner and Audubon aluminum planter frames, you can add wood, aluminum, 3form Eco-Resin, or glass screen wall as a windbreak to provide privacy, quiet noise, and extend your season, while controlling access with Planters with Gates.

Iconic locations, iconic Restaurant Planters

Restaurant Planters with Wood or Privacy Screen Hedges and Trellises
DeepStream’s modular Commercial Long Wood Restaurant Planters are engineered with the same hidden structural aluminum frame as stand-alone planters, but are more cost-effective for long, uninterrupted runs.

Planter-anchored screen walls for roof deck dining areas or city sidewalks do not require penetrations and qualify as temporary structures for permitting.

Food Safe Plastic Garden Planters welded from HDPE sheet are stronger and less expensive than fiberglass planters. Made from solid sheets of HDPE plastic, or planks of recycled plastic, they are a solid color throughout so they don’t show scratches in the same way fiberglass or painted metal planters do. HDPE will not absorb paint or dirt and as they are not painted they may be pressure washed for sanitation. Graffiti may be removed with paint remover or a light sanding so they are perfect for rugged urban street life.
More flexible than fiberglass HDPE Food Safe Planters will not crack like fiberglass, engineering and construction techniques in the welding process or the hidden structural aluminum frame makes them much more durable.
Mariner Food Safe Recycled Plastic Lumber Planters, below, are crafted with DeepStream’s Mariner structural aluminum frame and have a Lifetime Structural Warranty. Mariner planters hare all the same design attributes as DeepStream’s entire line of Wood Planters except, unlike natural tropical hardwood, they require no maintenance and do not require wood harvested from the rapidly diminishing Tropical Rain Forests of the world.
In keeping with DeepStream’s commitment to Sustainable Design and craftsmanship, we create square and rectangular commercial grade Aluminum Garden Planters in a natural finish 5086 Marine alloy. We also wholesale popular, cost-effective aluminum planters manufactured from 5052 alloy and powder coated for us in any color a customer specifies.
Thinner, powder coated 5052 aluminum planters are a cost- conscious option that can be built to custom sizes in rectangular, square, tapered, or round shapes, with a folded-over lip for strength and rigidity, then given a powder coat finish in any color.
