Speak to a Tournesol Advisor for help selecting irrigation systems for your next project.

Irrigation, Drainage & Root Control

options-scoops

Scoops

Square and rectangular planters can be connected end-to-end to create linear runs. “Scoops” lower adjacent planter walls allowing them to hide beneath the soil surface, creating a continuous planting along the top. Connector kits to gang planters together are available.

Unique Scoops such as those placed to create t-shapes or corners are available but outside of standard options. Speak to a Tournesol Advisor about specifying unique scoops for your project.

options-casters

Casters

Recessed casters discreetly provide mobility and are available as an option for many of our planter collections. Planters receiving casters are built with reinforced raised bottoms, so that casters are hidden under skirted planter walls. Tournesol installs commercial-grade swiveling casters calculated to support the total weight of the filled planter. Adding casters adds .5” to height and reduces soil depth by 5”, please take this into consideration when selecting your planter height.

Casters are not offered for very large or very narrow planters where weight or tipping hazard can present a challenge. Unique caster configurations are available but outside of standard options. Speak to a Tournesol Advisor about specifying unique options for your project.

options-sealant

TourneSeal

Need it watertight? Specify TourneSeal, our waterproofing solution. This is highly recommended for planters that will not have drain holes. We apply specific coatings to our FRP, GFRC, and Steel products, if requested. Follow our warranty requirements and perform a field test for watertightness after installation, before filling with media.

options-drainage

Drain Holes

Whether installing planters on-structure or at grade, thoughtful attention to drainage will keep water and debris from collecting on non-permeable surfaces. We manufacture our GFRC and Steel planters standard with drain holes. For no additional cost, we can produce these planters without holes. Our FRP planters are manufactured without drain holes so they can be drilled as required in the field. We can add drain holes to FRP planters using our standard drain hole configuration at no additional cost. See chart for details.

Unique drainage configurations are available but outside of standard options. Speak to a Tournesol Advisor about specifying unique options for your project.

Drainage Configuration Chart

options-false-bottom

False Bottom

Reduce soil volume and weight in taller planters by adding false bottoms. The false bottom option provides a soil depth of 18”.

If other soil depths are needed, we can customize false bottoms to fit your project. We can also fill space with our lightweight VersiCell panels. Contact a Tournesol Advisor for help with your project.

options-reinforced-bottom

Bottom Reinforcement

When specifying an FRP planter that won’t have full basal support after installation, such as installing on pedestals, it is recommended to add a bottom reinforcement to reduce damage to a loaded planter. This is also recommended for planters that will be anchored to the underlying surface.

options-tiedowns

Tie Downs

Tie Downs are available for large planters to hold trees in place. These are available for planters in all our materials. Ties are added inside planters at the midpoint. Square planters use four, one in each corner, and round planters use three, spaced equally around the inner circumference.
