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.

The system delivers water directly to the roots via50mm diameter, rigid plastic pipe, eliminatingwater wastage. This encourages deep rootgrowth, improving long term drought resistance.The high level filler pipe provides an easy accesspoint for watering and soluble fertiliserapplication.

Diplomat 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.

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.

Side lighting - holes are cutinto the side walls of theplanter to allow LED spotlighting to be fitted.

MATERIAL FINISHES

FSC treated softwood with a natural finish

FSC treated redwood standard finish

As standard, all FSC treated redwood planterswill be supplied with a natural finish. Thepreservative treatment process will colour thetimber a light brown/green. Left to weathernaturally, the timber will eventually turn a silvergrey colour.

FSC treated redwood wood optional finish

As an optional extra, the FSC treated redwoodcan be supplied with a stained finish. This will beapplied after the timber treatment process. Thestandard stain will be 3 coats of Ronseal quickdrying water based stain. The standard colour willbe teak. Other stains and colours can be appliedupon request. As part of the future maintenance,all stained products will require additionalstaining. The frequency of re-staining will dependon the location, use and the effects of weatheringand traffic film.The products should be cleaned down, verylightly sanded and re-coated with the originalstain.

FSC iroko hardwood standard finish

As standard, all FSC iroko hardwood planters willbe supplied with a natural finish. Due to thenature of the material and the density of thegrain, iroko hardwood is not capable of taking apreservative treatment. Iroko hardwood is anaturally durable material, giving a lifeexpectancy in excess of a treated softwood. Leftto weather naturally, the timber will eventuallyturn a silver grey colour.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Natural finish treated redwood can be washed down with a mild detergent.More stubborn surface marks can be removed with a light, hand sand with a120 grit, or higher grade sandpaper. Excessive sanding should be avoided.

Maintaining the optional FSC treated redwood finish

Stained, treated redwood will need to be re-coated after a period of time.The stain can either start to fade, become dull (oxidised) or incur somesurface break up. Lightly sand down the timber using a 120 grit, or highergrade sandpaper. We recommend that the timber is re-stained with theoriginal stain colour and manufacturer. Details can be obtained from Streetdesign Limited. Apply the stain evenly, with brush strokes running parallelwith the woodgrain, in thin layers, building up the finish as recommended bythe stain manufacturer.
