In 2009 Machan Engineering was approached by East Midlands Landscaping to manufacture large, round, steel planters; large enough to keep a tree in and including integrated irrigation systems.

The planters were to be placed at the front of the new store and should therefore be attractive while robust and strong enough to contain the trees.

Machan Engineering worked with the contractor to finalise the design, which included 316 grade stainless for the sides and 304 grade for the base – cutting costs slightly without jeopardising the quality finish on the planters.
