Bespoke metal planters in Norwich
Norwich projects come to us for the same reason most do: standard off-the-shelf containers do not fit medieval-core hospitality courtyards, riverside apartments and business park landscaping. We fabricate every planter to the exact dimensions of the space — welded shells, false bases and concealed drainage — so the planting sits where the design intended and the metalwork looks like part of the building rather than something added later.

We are a British manufacturer with our own specialist installation teams, so the same company that draws and welds your planters also fits them. For clients in and around the Norwich Lanes and the Wensum riverside, that removes the usual gap between supplier and installer — one point of contact, one programme and one party accountable from shop drawing to handover.

Built for Norwich
Building stock
Most of what we install here goes onto medieval-core hospitality courtyards, riverside apartments and business park landscaping. We survey first, set out the run against the real building rather than the drawing, and adjust panel lengths so the finished line follows the structure exactly.
Exposure and loading
Conditions here are flat East Anglian wind across the open sites; the Lanes are sheltered. 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 Norwich clients are typically hospitality operators, 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
The Lanes are pedestrianised for most of the day, so we deliver at dawn and carry modules to position. 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
Conservation-area courtyards want freestanding, unfixed planters with a quiet finish against flint and brick. 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.


Norwich FAQs
- Do you install in Norwich 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 Norwich and the surrounding norfolk area. You are not handed off to a third-party installer.
- How long does a bespoke planter order for Norwich 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 Norwich?
- Conservation-area courtyards want freestanding, unfixed planters with a quiet finish against flint and brick. On top of that, exposure here is flat East Anglian wind across the open sites; the Lanes are sheltered, so we size the gauge and choose the coating to match rather than applying one standard build to every job.
