Parklet Construction Drawings

These construction documents are provided for open-source use to create a

modular parklet with bicycle parking and / or seating components with self-watering

planter boxes and a shade awning.*

The project is courtesy of the North Central Texas Council of Governments, Blue

Green Grey Grant and was designed by Amanda Popken Development along with

the design team at DSGN Design, TBG

Partners, and constructed by Stash Design and

STARTS Permaculture.

Modules may be combined in any order. Each

is interlocking and interchangeable.

The plans include a module with a shorter

planter box to accommodate a visibility

triangle at a street corner, and a shade

component within the larger planter boxes.

Longer benches may serve as seating for

outdoor dining tables placed between.

Contact Amanda Popken with any questions about these drawings, best practices

for parklets and municipal policy on parklet installation: [email protected]

* Note: Check with the municipality where you plan to install your parklet to ensure it complies with any local ordinances governing the design or placement of a parklet, whether on private land or public right of way.

Planter Box Detail

Foam insulation and plastic liner will protect plant roots from intense heat and cold.

Place root barrier fabric atop the plastic and pipe to keep dirt and roots separate from water

reservoir.

Watering plants through the copper mouth allows water to pool in the joint reservoir and

wick up to plants in upper planter.

Amanda Popken Development

Note the slit on the side of each planter

box to allow excess rainwater to drain.

Fill planters with potting soil and plant native

flowers.
