Tree guard Plate

Description

The Tree guard Plate, model 11.040, represents a sophisticated solution in the field of urban furniture, specifically engineered to provide protection and aesthetic enhancement for trees planted in metropolitan environments. Designed by Tomasz Szpytma, this product line emphasizes a minimalist and industrial aesthetic, blending seamlessly into modern public spaces such as plazas, pedestrian zones, and city centers. Crafted from durable carbon steel (S235Jr), these tree grates ensure long-term resilience against high-traffic areas while effectively securing the root zone and maintaining the integrity of the surrounding street furniture landscape.

Engineering excellence is at the core of the Plate series, which is available in a variety of grid sizes ranging from Ø120 cm to Ø200 cm to accommodate diverse planting projects. The robust construction utilizes high-quality steel flat bars (40x6, 30x6, and 20x6 mm), resulting in a substantial and stable installation that remains flush with the ground level. With a consistent thickness of 1 ½ inches and a customizable tree hole diameter of 50–80 cm, the system offers precise scalability for maturing trees. The weight of these structures, spanning from 243 lb for the smallest configuration to 474 lb for the largest, ensures that the tree guards remain stationary and secure even in areas with heavy foot traffic.

The Tree guard Plate is an essential component of modern urban design, balancing the practical necessity of protecting urban vegetation with the demand for clean, architectural lines. By integrating these professional-grade steel structures into public infrastructure, urban planners can effectively manage the intersection of natural elements and concrete surfaces. The heavy-duty composition and precise craftsmanship inherent in the Plate series make it a reliable choice for municipalities and developers looking for high-performance street furniture that withstands environmental wear while contributing to the overall coherence and safety of the built environment.
