Stonewear MilSpec Planters
The cost effective, attractive, alternative
to conventional Pre-Cast concrete planters.
 |
Economy
 |
Large 8', 10', or 12' models decrease total cost per linear
foot of perimeter protection. |
|
Buy a larger lightweight unit and pay about the same as a smaller
heavier
pre-cast unit, thus covering more area for same cost. |
|
|
Strength
|
Ultra strong, Stonewear Glass Fiber reinforced, lightweight MilSpec
planters deliver decreased placement costs because Stonewear is 1/3 the weight of
pre-cast. |
|
Plus, extra length equals fewer units to place. |
|
| Example: |

| Stonewear Glass Fiber Concrete |

| Pre-cast conventional concrete |
6' |
2700 lbs |
1540 |
|
More "Bang for the Buck" on the perimeter because
lightweight strength allows ease of fabrication and placement of larger units. |
| Example: |
2000 Linear feet |
| Stonewear Glass Fiber Concrete 10' Planter |
153 Units |
| Pre-cast conventional concrete 6' Planter |
222 Units |
|
Effective stopping power approximately the same because the
"moveable" dirt going from a zero energy state to ballistic speeds
is the heart of the stopping equation that "consumes" the kinetic
energy of the moving vehicle |
| Example: |
Lighter weight, shallow footing
concrete planter with dirt core has greater stopping power than heavier,
deep footing concrete retaining wall.
Why would a lighter planter, with thinner
walls, be stronger in resisting
and stopping the impact of a 15,000 lb vehicle? Read Collision Physics
