DeepStream’s Mariner Bench uses the principals of sustainable design and ergonomics to create this comfortable rugged bench. Its looks complement the Mariner garden planters or stands out on its own.
DeepStream’s bench uses the same rugged construction, and caries the same Lifetime Structural Warranty, as Mariner planters.
Replaceable non-marking HDPE feet prevent damage to decks and floors while ensuring the galvanic isolation of the marine anodized aluminum legs ensuring the longevity of the finish.
Each part is replaceable and the wooden slats can be quickly and easily removed for refinishing.

While wood on wood planter construction will last 3 to 5 years, DeepStream’s Mariner garden planters are engineered to last for decades, giving the lowest cost of ownership over time and are backed with a Lifetime Structural Warrantee.
If you’re ownership or responsibility for the building where planters will be placed will last more than 5 years, give serious consideration as to what it will mean in terms of cost and disruption to go back and replace or repair planters, especially on rooftops and balconies, every 3 – 5 years.
The Mariner test planter shown below, with only an initial waterproofing at our workshop, has been exposed to the Miami sun and rain for 7 years with no maintenance for 7 years.
The same planter shown below after sanding .014″ off the face of the planks and re-waterproofing and wiping down the proprietary marine anodized legs with mineral spirits.
Wood on wood planter construction uses carpentry techniques that fasten wood to wood, and planters tear themselves apart with the expansive forces that wood exerts through repeated wet and dry cycles.
Why? Each wooden plank, cut from a different part of the tree or even different trees. This means each plank has its own differential rate of expansion and warping when wetted. This makes dimensional stability using standard wood-on-wood construction in two dimensions impossible to maintain over time, and shipbuilding techniques and maintenance are far too costly for planter construction. In addition, most wood planters lack adequate isolation from the soil and the deck or sidewalk, which promotes fresh water rot.
For centuries, wood dowels have been inserted into holes drilled into rock, then soaked with water. The expansion force of the wood is thus harnessed to crack blocks off marble and granite for construction, even though the blocks are hundreds of times thicker than the thin wooden dowel.
DeepStream uses proprietary marine anodized legs and stainless steel fasteners to clamp the wood and direct the expansionary so that the wood can expand and contract at different rates without affecting the planter’s structural integrity. The commercial grade rigid plastic liners, mounted on an independent aluminum frame, contain the soil and prevent contact between the soil and the wood.
Aluminum legs are protected and galvanically isolated from a wet deck by using plastic, HDPE, feet. Even stainless steel fasteners are galvanically isolated by using a proprietary di-electric paste so that they may be removed easily years later to replace parts or refinish the planter easily as shown in the before and after pictures below of a 7 year old planter that only had the original coat of factory waterproofing and no maintenance. This “fresh” look was achieved by sanding off just.014” of the planks exterior.

Here are two 3Form natural materials, Seagrass and Harvest with an Ivory backer, that DeepStream Designs made into outdoor recycling bins.
These bins will be going into a parking garage in Houston and are complete with passivated SS 16 Gauge Stainless Steel lids. At our clients request they have been fitted with Smokers Stations by us at a cost lower than they could buy the Smokers Stations by themselves.
All materials used in the construction are recycled or recyclable and the individual pieces can easily be replaced should they ever be damaged or the client want to change their design!

The modular nature of our products creates an adaptability factor that we consider a hallmark of our sustainable design philosophy. Why replace when you can adapt?
An example is this cover we created for a school in California committed to recycling but also home to feisty squirrels. The “weather-proof critter cover” also works well to keep out heavy rains. If your bin is outside and you have raccoons, you might want to order your cover and lid with a low-profile slot and hasp for a lock. Both are an easy retrofit in the field.

The hinged design is simple and robust, just like our bins. The flap is constructed from 18-gauge stainless steel whereas the lid is 16-gauge. A robust but low profile stainless steel piano hinge attaches with flush fasteners.
The handle is a standard distance between holes so it can be replaced or customized wherever kitchen hardware is sold. If your application is near salt water or completely out in the rain, the cover, like the lid, can be ordered with the stainless steel passivated to reduce maintenance.

The only compromise we have found in the design is that simple care needs to be taken when opening the lid to replace the bags that line the inner bins. However, it is an intuitive maneuver to open the lid with one hand while holding and gently lowering the cover with the other hand.
