As
with all planters, the plants themselves help cool the
earth and clean the air by producing more oxygen and
trapping carbon. In addition,
our
LEED Planters lower the
impact of man on the environment because:
-
It's
RECYCLED and
RECYCLABLE!
-
Using recycled plastic “lumber” planks eliminates
the cutting of trees and uses less energy to
manufacture.
- The plastic
lumber we use is made from recycled post-consumer HDPE (high-density polyethylene) from milk jugs and
other polyethylene packaging that would normally be
destined for landfills.
- The liners are
made from recycled pre-consumer LDPE (low-density
polyethylene)
- Aluminum legs
and straps, along with plastic components are 100% recyclable.
-
Maintenance-Free!
- Uses no energy or materials to maintain
-
Plastic lumber never
needs to be painted or stained and will never rot,
splinter or split
- Proprietary
extruded legs of 6063-T5 aluminum are finished with
a durable etched marine anodized finish and
non-scuff feet.
- Stainless
steel fasteners are installed with dialectric paste
to prevent corrosion.
-
Colors won't fade
- Ultra-violet stabilizers are added to the
lumber so colors will look as vibrant decades from now
as they do today.

Cost Effective
-
Working with recycled plastic lumber not only
reduces production costs, but it also requires
NO maintenance, reducing your cost of
ownership over time compared to wood planters.
- While the material we use is only a few cents a
square foot less than natural hardwood lumber,
several aspects of the LEED Planter help us
reduce the manufacturing cost without cutting
quality, and pass the savings on to our customers:
-
Planter boxes and liners are stocked in specific
sizes to eliminate waste
-
Planing, sanding and hand-rubbed finish are
eliminated
-
Optional
drain attachments with overflow control allow
any liner to be used in interior and exterior
installations.
-
Planters ship fully
assembled, or can be disassembled for shipping or
flat storage in 15 minutes.
-
Custom sizes and other
colors available.
NOTE:
Recycled Plastic Lumber (RPL) will expand and contract with
changes in temperature. . .

NOTE:
Recycled Plastic Lumber (RPL) will expand and contract with
changes in temperature, unlike its aluminum
frame.
To prevent bowing when the RPL is heated by the sun, planters over
44" long will be “tuned” at the factory by
leaving horizontal fasteners slightly loose
before placing the planters in full sun for two
hours to allow the sun to thoroughly heat both
sides of your planter before the fasteners are
tightened down.
Average daytime temperatures in Miami, where your planter will be
manufactured, vary from the 50s in the winter to
the 90s in the summer, so the temperature of the
RPL in full sun can vary from 80° to 130°.
Should the maximum temperature in your area be
significantly hotter than Miami when your
planter was assembled, some bowing could still
occur.
Should it be necessary to tune your planter, loosen the four liner
support frame fasteners with a #3 Phillips
screwdriver, and allow the RPL to heat up by
rotating the planter’s long faces towards the
sun for an hour each during the hottest,
sunniest part of the day, before tightening them
back down. If your planter was designed with
horizontal 1” angles to prevent liner bowing,
you also need to loosen and retighten those four
fasteners at the same time.
