Constructed from steel, galvanised and stainless.

The majority of the structure is fabricated out of 3mm (0.12 inch)/10 gauge mild steel plate. All mild steel fabricated surfaces are galvanised, thus reducing the possibility of rusting.

The remaining sections are stainless steel…

• Profile tubes = marine grade satin stainless steel
• Mesh display panels = 304 grade stainless steel
• Fixings (nuts/bolts/washers) = A2 grade stainless steel
• Display plaques = marine grade satin stainless steel

Manufactured in Derbyshire in the UK.

The structure is circular at ground level, with the diameter at the outer circumference of the base frame section being 2.85 metres/9.35 feet.

The diameter at the extremities of the profile tubes is 3.6 metres/11.81 feet.

The height at the top of the central cylindrical area is 2.4 metres/7.87 feet.

The overall height (to top of finial) is in the region of 5 metres/16.40 feet.

Weighing around one tonne.

Configured to allow for the hanging and displaying of around 25,000 padlocks, if calculated on two appropriately sized padlocks per mesh hole, or three tonnes.

Safely tested to equivalent of six tonnes.

The inner and outer display panels are made from 3mm (0.12 inch)/10 gauge 304 stainless steel wire mesh.

Internal dimensions of each mesh hole is 22mm/0.87 inch wide by 70mm/2.75 inch deep.

There are approximately 12,500 mesh holes within the tree’s inner and outer display panels.

To minimise damage during transportation, storage, assembly and day to day use, the trees have been designed and engineered to accept a ‘slide on’ cladding system on outward facing sections.

This allows for repairs/replacement, if any damage to coloured sections occurs, by simply replacing the individual cladding piece.

Cladding is made from a 100% recycled material, white in colour, and is an outdoor grade, UV stable rigid PVC.

Onto the cladding we apply ‘U-pol Raptor Tough Protective Coating’, to make it hard wearing and long lasting.

Raptor (a commercial product) provides the coloured element. We use ‘Leaf Green – RAL 6002’ as standard, but most colours are available.

Love Lock Trees are supplied in standard green colour, RAL 6002 – Leaf Green.

Trees are available in most colours.

Large trees come with one set of cladding and two bumpers, coated in Raptor, though a painted or powder coated finish is available, in most colours.

Total excavation depth is 350mm/13.78 inches.

If you require no ground penetration, please contact us.

Included in the price are, two marine grade, satin stainless steel information plaques, one above each entry/exit.

These can be engraved and colour infilled (single sided) with the tree owners desired; logos, emblems, tree name, contact information, etc on. Standard infill colour is black, but colour infilling is available in most colour.

Behind the information plaques, are two areas for the owner of the tree to use as message boards if the 0wner wants, e.g. to inform the public of… no climbing, do’s and don’ts etc.

Accessible by all.

The ground surface areas/finishes around and within the structure must be level and smooth, aiding easy mobility.

Entry/exit (door areas)

Width = minimum 813mm/32 inches

Height = minimum 1981mm/78 inches

There are anti-theft elements on the large size Love Lock Tree.

These will be explained when ordering, or visiting the demonstration tree.

Each column on the entry/exit has a PVC ‘bumper’, covering it, to take the impact/potential damage caused by pushchairs, mobility aids, etc. These can be replaced if or when needed, and come as standard with all finishes.

The bumpers are the same colour as your trees cladding/painted/powder coated finish.

Bumpers are outdoor grade, UV stable rigid PVC and are made of 100% recycled material.

Application for, and granting of, the appropriate planning consent is the responsibility of the purchasing party, as it will depend upon individual siting within a PUBLIC or PRIVATE location.

Our standard trees…

• Are not easily climbed upon
• Designed with no overhead hanging padlock areas
• Have no moving parts
• Contain no easily removable parts
• Have no trip hazards

Part of the large sized tree’s base function is to provide a catchment and drainage area below the display panels.

Although this is a minimal amount of drainage, a facility has been provided below the base to install 2 x 110mm/4.33 inches diameter drainage connections. Connecting either to an existing drain system, or stand alone soak away facility. This is installed below the centre of the tree when initial ground work is carried out.

Periodic maintenance may be required, to ensure minimal sludge build up in drainage system.

The drainage facility is a standard option, but not compulsory.

Gravel is to be supplied as part of the ground work element of the installation and will be the choice of the purchaser.

However it is recommended that the minimum gravel size should be 20mm/0.79 inch diameter.

The grounding rod needs to be installed with the base section.

The grounding rod is optional, and is up to the tree’s owner to decide if required.

Please visit the installation page.

Order lead times are in the region of six weeks to manufacture a standard large Love Lock Tree and apply finishing processes, plus installation.

Each Love Lock Tree is fabricated to quality management system ISO 9001:2015 (UK only).

A Love Lock Tree comes with a 12 month fabrication manufacturers warranty against workmanship and materials used. UK only.

We recommend you visit the demonstration tree, located in Derbyshire, to discuss your requirements and specifications.
