With the population boom leaving less open space available for traditional garden beds, stainless steel is helping to introduce Mother Nature to an increasingly unnatural environment. Ecologically sustainable design (ESD) promotes the use of existing resources to maintain biological balance.

This excerpt from the ISSF Book of New Applications 2006, gives more information on applications in the garden.

The following applications are shown:

·         Shower specially designed for outdoor use

·         Domestic electric well pump

This article describes a range of planters and containers for the home and garden. Stainless steel features in all of the designs and is rade 316 with a thickness of 2.5mm. The finishing of all welded seams and corners are invisible and polished so that all the lines, angles and overall visual look of each piece is optimised.
