On the ground, or up on a balcony or rooftop terrace, planters with gates can anchor screen walls and vegetation for privacy without having to penetrate the sidewalk, terrace, or roof membrane.
To build Planters with Gates backed by a Lifetime Structural Warranty, DeepStream engineered a rigid frame to support the separate planter liner AND the proprietary vertical upright extrusions that hold the slide-in-easy proprietary 316 stainless steel hinges that hold the gate by its frame.
Direct-mount Planters with Gates.
21″ high maintenance-free recycled HDPE plastic wood planters with gates fully closed against a magnetic latch and held by two slide-in-easy proprietary 316 stainless steel hinges mounted inside DeepStream’s proprietary structural marine-anodized terminal extrusions. Since there is no paint or powder coating to fail, RPL planters may be pressure cleaned.
DeepStream’s’ proprietary marine-anodized aluminum extrusions allow slide-in-easy mounting of the custom 316 stainless steel hinges directly to Planters with Gates. The horizontal frame of the gate is solid 1/2 in. thick anodized aluminum drilled and tapped to mount the hinges, which are held by four 1/4-20, 18-8 stainless steel fasteners that have been coated with a proprietary dielectric paste to prevent corrosion.

One of many possible latches for Planters with Gates, this wood gate is mounted with a simple, lockable, 316 stainless steel slide bolt latch to secure it.
Wing Wall mount Planters with Gates.
DeepStream engineered its proprietary rigid structural anodized aluminum frame system and 316 stainless steel mounting feet and hinges to create Planters with Gates that could hold a separate planter liner to counterbalance and withstand the torque transferred to the hinges by code-required 36” gates while maintain slide-in easy mounting. Recycled HDPE plastic wood planter boxes require no maintenance and may be pressure cleaned, as there is no paint or powder coating to fail.
Two wing walls can be mounted to Planters with Gates. DeepStream’s proprietary marine-anodized aluminum T-leg forms one corner of the wood planter box allowing it to join the wing wall at one end. Our proprietary Intermediary anodized extrusion is mounted to the deck with stainless steel feet at the other end of the wing wall to hold the gate on our slide-in-easy hinges.
Retrofit Planters with Gates.
DeepStream’s natural wood planter boxes are secured inside our trademark proprietary anodized aluminum extrusions and are fitted with an internal structural aluminum frame that holds a separate planter liner, which allows them to be easily retrofitted with gates at any time.

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.
