The Mansfield™ combines a strong architectural frame with restrained vertical panelling and carefully balanced proportions.

Mansfield™ Wooden Planter

The Mansfield™ Wooden Planter

The Mansfield™ is a restrained wooden planter defined by traditional proportions, vertical timber panels and distinctive integral finials.

A strong outer frame surrounds recessed vertical panels, creating depth and rhythm without unnecessary ornament. The result is a quietly architectural design that sits naturally alongside brick, stone and traditional exterior joinery.

We make each Mansfield™ individually to order in our Cotswolds workshop in Oak, Iroko or Accoya™, with proportions, timber and finish considered for its setting and intended planting.

Designed Around Proportion

The Mansfield™ relies on carefully balanced proportions and traditional joinery rather than elaborate detailing.

Its framed form provides a strong setting for clipped topiary, shrubs and specimen planting, while different proportions allow the design to respond naturally to entrances, terraces and larger garden schemes.

Used individually, as a matching pair or repeated across a landscape, the Mansfield™ introduces structure and rhythm while allowing the planting to remain the focus.

Commission a Mansfield™ Planter

Each Mansfield™ is made to order, allowing its dimensions, timber and finish to respond to the planting and architectural setting.

Individual planters, matching pairs and coordinated groups are produced for private gardens and professionally designed landscapes.

Current lead time: approximately 6–8 weeks.

    A Planter for Architectural Settings

    The restrained detailing of the Mansfield™ allows it to sit comfortably alongside both traditional and contemporary architecture.

    Natural timber brings warmth to stone and brick, while a painted finish can relate more closely to doors, windows and exterior joinery.

    Used in pairs, the Mansfield™ brings symmetry to entrances and gateways. Repeated along a façade or terrace, it introduces rhythm and structure while allowing the architecture and planting to remain the focus.

    Designed for Different Proportions

    The character of the Mansfield™ can be carried through different proportions without losing the balance of its original design.

    Longer forms create a strong linear presence for terraces, boundaries and larger planting schemes, while different dimensions can be used together to create a coordinated collection across a project.

    We consider each planter in relation to its intended planting and location, retaining the framed form, vertical panelling and integral finials that distinguish the Mansfield™.

    Mansfield™ Wooden Planter FAQs

    What distinguishes the Mansfield™ planter?

    The Mansfield™ is defined by its strong outer frame, recessed vertical timber panels and distinctive integral finials. Its restrained detailing gives the design architectural presence without unnecessary ornament.

    Can the Mansfield™ be made in different dimensions?

    Yes. We make each Mansfield™ to order, with proportions considered for the intended planting, location and surrounding architecture. Longer forms can also be commissioned while retaining the character and balance of the original design.

    Is the Mansfield™ suitable for substantial planting?

    Yes. We consider the engineering of each Mansfield™ according to its dimensions and intended planting, taking account of the considerable loads created by soil, water and mature plants.

    Can I plant directly into a Mansfield™ planter?

    Yes. We design the Mansfield™ for direct planting. Our specialist internal coating system, developed for our planters in 2008, protects the internal timber surfaces while maximising the space available for planting.

    What timber is the Mansfield™ available in?

    We offer the Mansfield™ in Oak, Iroko or Accoya™. Oak and Iroko can be left to weather naturally, while Accoya™ is particularly suited to a precise painted finish.
