CREATING SPACES IS CHILD’S PLAY
23 Sep 2015
Creating a green space for children to thrive in, or nature to grow wild in, is child’s play with GRC planter boxes from Mascot Engineering. Their commercial grade planters are perfect for a range of urban project needs.
Engineered and manufactured in Australia, Mascot Engineering’s lightweight Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) planter boxes have the lifespan of traditional concrete, without the hassle of moving a tonne of concrete into position.
Available in various shapes, sizes and profiles, Mascot’s planters suit most applications. With freestanding, wall mounted, cavity mounted and in-ground applications, their ever-evolving range is ideal for any project.
Utilising commercial grade planters from Mascot Engineering, the owners of a residential warehouse conversion in Sydney’s inner city created an urban oasis within its walls, designing a space for their children – and the dog – to play, dream and grow in, with a little bit of nature thrown in. The planters chosen for this project were utilised for feature planting, due to their large scale size, lifespan and natural raw concrete finish.
As a unique feature of this project, one of Mascot Engineering’s large scale planters was also used as a backyard sandpit. The surface of Mascot’s GRC planters can be finished in any material that is suitable for use on concrete – allowing this sandpit to be finished in a playful and inspiring orange. The sandpit was then completed with a custom aluminium cover.
Mascot Engineering has been manufacturing products for the Australian building industry since 1920. With distribution centres Australia-wide, Mascot Engineering has not only gone through all the approvals, they’ve stood the test of time.
