Heba Planters – Practical, Flexible Street Furniture for Modern Outdoor Spaces

Sub-contractors delivering public realm projects often face a range of logistical challenges — limited site access, tight deadlines, and shrinking budgets. Add in the complexity of working in live environments like schools, hospitals, parks, and high streets, and the demand for quick, durable, and disruption-free solutions becomes clear.

That’s where the Heba modular planter range from Street Furniture Direct comes in. These lightweight, highly adaptable units are designed to simplify installation, reduce costs, and deliver long-term value — all while enhancing the usability and visual appeal of outdoor spaces.

Designed for Practicality on Site

The Heba range includes a selection of modular, easy-to-handle planters made from durable Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE). This UV-stabilised, weather-resistant material ensures the units won’t crack or discolour over time, keeping maintenance to a minimum.

Available in a variety of formats — including rectangular, corner, and cube planters — the range allows for seamless integration into both simple and complex landscaping layouts. Their lightweight construction means they can be safely positioned by hand, reducing manual handling risks and eliminating the need for lifting equipment.

Once installed and filled, the planters are securely anchored by their own weight, making them ideal for pedestrian areas, courtyards, and community spaces.

A 2-in-1 Reversible System: Seating or Planter

What sets the Heba Collection apart is its reversible design. Each unit can be flipped to function either as a planter or a bench seat — providing maximum flexibility from a single product.

Whether you're configuring a linear row of seating, a cluster of planters, or a creative combination of both, the modular system allows you to build dynamic and responsive layouts that suit any space or project phase. This dual functionality also reduces the number of separate components needed on site — saving time, space, and budget.

Built to Adapt — Temporary or Permanent

The Heba range is perfect for both permanent installations and temporary schemes, such as phased regeneration projects or events. Their modular nature means layouts can be easily reconfigured or expanded as public needs evolve, without costly redesigns or replacements.

Environmental Benefits of Heba Planters

Street planters are more than just decorative — they contribute to healthier, greener urban environments. Here’s how the Heba range supports environmental goals:
