Mobile planter boxes

Oversized planter boxes built on castors, so the hotel can reconfigure its outdoor areas for events and move the whole lot out of the way when the space is needed.

Each box is framed in treated pine, set out square and braced across the base so it stays true once it carries soil and a mature plant. The frames were primed before any cladding went on, which is the only chance you get at the faces that end up buried inside the box.

Cladding is a shiplap board with a mitred capping around the top, so the rim reads as a solid edge rather than a row of cut ends. Every fixing is set in a straight line down the face. On a box this plain, the screw pattern is the detail.

They are lined, drained and sit on heavy-duty castors, so a full box still moves with one person. The finish is a soft blue under a white cap, matched to the palette already running through the hotel’s outdoor areas.
