The Mona Plant System ensures that the water andnutrients are delivered in the right quantity to theroot of the plants, resulting in improved rootdevelopment and optimal plant growth.

General

Factory installation

All necessary water tanks, pipes, end caps and airpipes with level indicator, are factory fitted into theplanters / tree containers, prior to delivery.

Ensure that the distance between the top of the linktank and the lowest part of the root does not exceed150mm.

Filling planters

The system consists of storage tanks, flexible linkingpipes and a flexible filler pipe with filler pipe cap.The system delivers water directly to the roots viacapillary action, eliminating water wastage. Thisencourages deep root growth, improving long termdrought resistance. The cap and lid provides aneasy access point for watering and soluble fertiliserapplication.Installation

General

The system consists of a 300 micron thick blackpolythene liner, hydroleca (pulverised ashgranules) sacks and a rigid plastic filler pipe.

Bournemouth planters can be manufactured andsupplied to include plinth, side and top lighting, allspecified to illuminate the planter or thesurrounding paving.Plant, up lighting and down lighting can be usedto create a dramatic planting scheme byintroducing colours or feature spot lighting.We have created seven types of basic lighting toenhance your scheme and the planting. Theseven types of lighting are shown below. Thelighting types can be specified individually or theycan be grouped together to create a range oflighting effects.In its basic form, the lighting is available as coolwhite, warm white, blue, green or red LED units.More complex lighting can be supplied, includingtwilight switches, PIR sensors, timers, infrared,ultraviolet and royal blue emitters, PWMdimmers, RGB, UPS, DMX and remote controlunits.

Side lighting - holes aremanufactured into the sidewalls of the planter to allowthe LED lighting to create adecorative feature to the sidesof the planter

Plinth lighting - LED lighting is fitted to the inside of the planter,located under the base floor, offering a pool of light around thebottom of the planter.

Street Design is pleased to announce newdesigns of wood and metal planters featuringintegrated lighting as standard. These designsmake full use of safe, eco-friendly, low-power,low-voltage, high-efficiency LED lighting with abroad choice of placements, brightness andcolours.Our LED lighting units can handle all of the tasksformerly undertaken by tungsten, halide andfluorescent lamps, and out-perform them in everydepartment. They are extremely flexible - we cansupply almost any configuration of lighting to aclient's specification using our standard lightingunits in these purpose-designed planters.The lighting units can be powered by either a lowvoltage DC supply or mains electricity. The choiceof light levels and power units is also broad. Ourstandard power supply pumps out 12 Volts at 4Amps, in LED terms enough for a very brightplanter. The entire range is from 1 Watt to 1,000Watts.This page outlines the different types of lightingavailable and shows examples of the uses towhich the lighting units can be put.

Overview

Plant lighting - LED lights aresupplied to illuminate andmake features of the planting

Plinth lighting is available in warmand cool white, standard LEDcolours, and RGB strips that allowalmost any colour to be mixed.Plinth lighting can also bespecified for one or more sides(or arcs) of a planter and at anypower level between 1 Watt permetre and 40 Watts per metre.Our standard plinth light is warmwhite and operates at 6 Watts permetre and provides a noticeablelight up to one metre from theedge of the planter (though thisdepends on ambient lightinglevels and the reflectivity of theground surface).

Plinth lighting

Side lighting

Side lighting is offered as feature,decorative lighting from cut-outsin the horizontal timber slats. Lowpowered LED ribbons provide apoint of interest on these planters.These lamps are very noticeableeven under extremely brightconditions, and are quite dazzlingat night.

Plant lighting

The plant lighting array ispositioned down at planting level.Four LED lighting battens arefixed to the inside edges at thetop of the planter. The lights areangled up and illuminate theunderside of the flora, a strikingand unusual effect. Fortunately,the plants don't seem to mind.

Spotlights fitted within the plantercan be angled up to illuminatelarge plants, bushes and treesseveral metres above the plantersurface. LED emitters rated at 1,3 or 5 Watts are equipped with 5,15, 25 or 45 degree collimatinglenses to send a narrow beam ofwhite or coloured light toilluminate the chosen feature highabove the planter. The layout ofthe planting can conceal the lightsources to enhance the effect.

Down Lighting in this context isabout mounting a lamp with alens and reflector above theplanting area to provide top-downillumination. The reflectors comein different shapes and sizes tomatch the light distribution to theshape of the planter. Theproximity of the light source andthe use of an opaque reflectorminimises both the powerrequirements and the unwanted,upward, light pollution.

Up Lighting

Down Lighting

Up lighting - LED up lighting isfitted to the inside top of theplanter, creating a rim of lightbetween the planting and theplanter

Down lighting - An LED light ispole mounted in the centre ofthe planter, illuminating thecomplete planter top andplanting. Depending on theheight, the surroundingground can be illuminated ifrequired.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Maintaining the standard mild steel finish (steel frame and legs)

Maintaining the standard mild steel finish (planter body panels)

Dirt can be washed off with warm water and a mild detergent. Always use cleanwater and cleaning cloths to avoid surface contamination. If required the mildsteel base frame and planter feet can be re-painted. Brush apply a single coaton top of the existing paint using black, smooth finish hammerite paint.

Polyester powder coated finishes should be washed down with clean warmwater and a mild detergent. Minor touching up can be done with an aerosol tomatch the original powder coated colour. Details can be obtained from StreetDesign Limited. More severe damage can be repaired by sanding down, bymanual or mechanical means, beyond the damaged area, sufficiently far as toensure that any step in the powder coated finish is removed. This will ensurethat after re-finishing the repair will be difficult to detect.

General

All Bournemouth planter products are manufactured using quality materials and finishes.The internal base frames will be fully welded mild steel and will be hammerite painted after fabrication.The galvanised mild steel planter body panels will be supplied with a polyester powder coated finish.

All products requirea varied amount of maintenance, depending on the environment, usage and weather conditions.Galvanised steel will only require cleaning. In time, the powder coated mild steel planter body panelswill require re-coating. The stainless steel top capping will only required cleaning.

The stainless steel top capping will be supplied with a dull polished (brushed) finish.

Maintaining the standard stainless steel finish (top capping)

Dull polished (brushed) stainless steel should be washed down with clean,warm water with a mild detergent. More severe marks can be removed by usinga fine abrasive, such as a Scotchbrite or stainless steel scouring pad. As dullpolishing is a process of applying fine linear scratches evenly over the surface,it is extremely important that rubbing down with a abrasive pad is done carefullyin a straight line parallel to the existing grained finish. Rust marks or stains areusually caused by environmental contamination from dissimilar materials laidagainst, or near to, the stainless steel. These stains can be removed asdescribed above.
