Planters can be used creatively to divide or surround an area – we can manufacture them in your choice of size and finish. Sand Pits and Planters can be made in the design and size you choose, with or without a roof.
Sand Pits and planters are supplied empty as standard. Alternatively Outdoor For Schools can also supply a wide range of fillers such as play sand, gravel and bark for sand pits; natural or artificial plants, compost and toppers for planters upon request.
