2 Effective Protective Attractive Using Concrete Planters as a Protected Bike Lane s buffer creates a robust barrier, and greatly augments safety and comfort for cyclists. It also reduces drivers stress as it decreases the chances of an automobile-bike collision. Bonus: Planters contribute to community greening. With their architectural design and finish, DEZIGNLINE Planters enhance the aesthetic of the bike lane, and deliver an elegant solution along the corridor.

4 Submittal Sheet Self-Watering System Self-watering systems reduce water waste, eliminate water runoff and evaporation, and harvest water during a rain event. Easy to install, they reduce maintenance costs and improve plant health. MATERIALS PVC, Polycarbonate DIMENSIONS 36 L x 8 W x 3 H INSTALLATION See Installation Instructions for details PVC Fill Tube DEZIGNLINE Precast Concrete Planter Planting Medium System Reservoir Filter Cloth Overflow Drain ½ - ¾ Clear Aggregate

5 Installation Instructions TOOLS NEEDED Lifting straps Forklift Planter must be empty when moving or installing. Threaded insert ports 1 Insert threaded hooks or eye-bolts into all four threaded inserts in interior lengthwise walls of Planter. Tighten. 2 Attach lifting straps. Forklift picks up Planter by the lifting straps and moves to identified location.

6 Installation Instructions Self-Watering System Water Place approximately 2 3 of clear aggregate at the bottom of Planter. Place filter cloth over aggregate to prevent soil from entering aggregate layer. Place approximately 1 of soil on top of filter cloth. Place self-watering reservoir base onto the soil. Ensure that reservoir is level. Insert fill tube into reservoir base, and trim to a height of 1/2 to 1 above top edge of Planter. Add soil, tamp down (do not pack), place plants, add more soil as necessary. soil thoroughly and add water into fill tube until reservoir is full (observe excess water draining out of Planter s overflow drain).
