A few years ago, if you wanted a barrier that also held plants, you bought two separate things – a fence and some pots. They never quite lined up. The pots got knocked over. The fence looked bare.
Now more landscape architects and property managers are asking for one integrated unit: metal fence with planter on top.
Here's why it works.
The planter sits directly on the fence rail or replaces the top horizontal bar. Height usually lands around 800mm to 1000mm – low enough to see over, high enough to stop a casual step-through. The planter section has a welded steel bottom with drainage holes and a removable liner if specified.
You get three functions from one installation: barrier, greenery, and sometimes seating if you widen the top plate.
Material is all galvanized steel – powder coat optional. The fence portion uses vertical bars (typical spacing 120mm). The planter section is a continuous trough, usually 250mm to 300mm deep.
A buyer in Brisbane did this last year – 180 meters of fence-plus-planter along a commercial driveway. They planted low shrubs. The fence stopped pedestrians from cutting through, and the shrubs hid the parking lot from the street. Two problems solved with one product.
KSHD makes these as custom orders. You tell us the length, the height, the plant depth, and the color. We send a CAD drawing. No surprises.
