Bespoke metal planters in Bath
Working across Bath means designing around Georgian terraces, hotel terraces and hillside private gardens. There is rarely a standard size that works, so we measure, draw and fabricate each run to suit the opening it has to fill, with false bases that keep soil weight down and drainage that never stains the surface below.
Because we manufacture in our own UK workshop and install with our own fitters, Bath clients deal with one company throughout. There is no subcontracted fit and no argument over who owns a problem: we draw it, weld it, coat it, deliver it and install it around the Georgian crescents and the Avon valley slopes ourselves.

Built for Bath
What we're fitting to
Bath work usually means Georgian terraces, hotel terraces and hillside private gardens. We take our own dimensions on site, because a set-out that is 20mm off on paper becomes a visible gap once the planters are in position.
Exposure and loading
Conditions here are hillside plots take more wind than the valley floor, which is calm. 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.
Who we work with
Our Bath clients are typically hotels, homeowners and landscape designers. 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
Steep, narrow Bath streets often rule out a large vehicle, so we plan a small delivery and a stepped carry in modules. 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
The World Heritage setting is unforgiving — planters must be quiet in colour, freestanding, and detailed to complement Bath stone. 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.
Bath FAQs
- Do you install in Bath 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 Bath and the surrounding somerset area. You are not handed off to a third-party installer.
- How long does a bespoke planter order for Bath 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 Bath?
- The World Heritage setting is unforgiving — planters must be quiet in colour, freestanding, and detailed to complement Bath stone. On top of that, exposure here is hillside plots take more wind than the valley floor, which is calm, so we size the gauge and choose the coating to match rather than applying one standard build to every job.
