Bespoke metal planters in Aberdeen

Every Aberdeen scheme starts with the constraint rather than the catalogue. With granite terraces, harbour-side commercial buildings and energy-sector campuses in play, we build to the millimetre: welded corners, hidden fixings, internal drainage and a finish chosen for the exposure the planter will actually face.

Bespoke metal planters of the kind we fabricate and install in Aberdeen — Hardwood bench integrated into a courtyard planter run filled with wildflower planting.

Around the harbour and the granite West End we handle the whole job — design development, fabrication, powder coating, delivery and installation by our own specialist teams. That matters most when a scheme is tight on programme, because the manufacturing and the fitting are scheduled by the same people.

Local conditions

Built for Aberdeen

01

Local building types

Across Aberdeen the work sits on granite terraces, harbour-side commercial buildings and energy-sector campuses, and each of those wants a slightly different base detail — pedestals, continuous feet or a levelled kerb, depending on what the deck can take.

02

Exposure and loading

Conditions here are extreme — North Sea wind, salt and long cold winters. That drives gauge, restraint and fixing choice: taller runs get internal struts, exposed elevations get a heavier shell, and anything near salt air gets marine-grade alloy with a coastal-specification coating.

03

Who we work with

Our Aberdeen clients are typically corporate estates, developers and homeowners. We work from architects' and landscape designers' drawings, issue shop drawings for sign-off, and hold samples so a colour is approved before anything is coated.

Delivery & access

Harbour and city-centre access is controlled, so we deliver on a booked slot and install with a small, experienced crew. We agree the access route before manufacture begins, so panel sizes, joint positions and lifting method are decided on paper rather than discovered on installation day.

Planning & context

Granite conservation streets suit a dark, matte finish; the coastal climate makes marine-grade specification essential. Where consent or a landscape condition is involved, we supply elevations, RAL references and planting-depth information so the scheme can be evidenced and approved without delay.

Questions

Aberdeen FAQs

Do you install in Aberdeen or just supply?
We do both. Bespoke Metal Planters manufactures every unit in our own UK workshop and installs with our own specialist fitting teams, including throughout Aberdeen and the surrounding scotland area. You are not handed off to a third-party installer.
How long does a bespoke planter order for Aberdeen take?
Typically four to eight weeks from approved drawings, depending on size, finish and how many units are in the run. We confirm a date once the shop drawings and the colour are signed off, and we install to your programme rather than dropping units and leaving.
What specification do you recommend for Aberdeen?
Granite conservation streets suit a dark, matte finish; the coastal climate makes marine-grade specification essential. On top of that, exposure here is extreme — North Sea wind, salt and long cold winters, so we size the gauge and choose the coating to match rather than applying one standard build to every job.
