Enquire Now Contact Us Residential Install time: 1 Day A Platform with Plumbing – Residential Garden Access Solution Our client approached us with a unique request: they needed a garden platform that would allow them to fully enjoy the outdoors during the summer, while also maintaining seamless access from their home. The platform needed to be level with the internal floor of their house, ensuring easy transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. View Case Study Maintenance-Friendly Design By incorporating a removable section and kickledge, we provided the client with full access to the garden hoses and waste pipes, making future maintenance quick and easy. This solution avoided the long-term complications that would have arisen from encasing the pipes in concrete, preserving their functionality while maintaining the platform’s clean appearance. Safe and Accessible The platform’s high-grip surface and seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor areas ensured that the client could use the platform confidently, without worrying about slips or trips. The kickledge added an extra level of safety, preventing any potential falls near the hose access point. Durable and Low-Maintenance Unlike traditional wooden or concrete platforms, which can deteriorate over time and become slippery in wet conditions, our modular platform is designed for long-term durability. The self-draining surface prevents the buildup of water, moss, or algae, ensuring the platform remains safe and functional year-round.
