Cast Iron Tree Grates by EJ

If you ever wanted an example of high pedestrian traffic, try a college. They present a perfect example of why the grates you install should be of the highest calibre construction.

EJ manufactures cast iron tree grates in its East Jordan foundry and these (pictured) have found their way to Padua College on Brisbane's northside, Queensland, Australia via Brisbane's EJ headquarters.

Being cast iron, they're built to last a lifetime and then some, and can well and truly withstand the ravages of not only weather extremes, but also the testing bicycle and student wear and tear.

The close grate spacings are safe for bicycle traffic and the bolt-down segments make the grate a permanent fixture and prevent theft.

From a practical point of view, EJ tree grates make it easy to keep the area surrounding the trees, clean and today. Raking and sweeping around the grates and the surrounding area is a breeze because of its neat, flat surface.

Garden earth and mulch are contained underneath surface level and therefore prevent slip hazards. Trees flourish in concreted areas because the grates ventilate and provide ease of fertilising and watering.

Another major showcase project with EJ tree grate installation is recently re-modified Westfield Fountain Gate Shopping Centre 40km south of Melbourne's CBD. This vast 34,600 sq metre shopping precinct will be well served with these heavy duty grates.

Cast iron tree grates by EJ are popular worldwide. Customised patterns and insignia have been manufactured for many municipalities in many countries. If you're about order tree grates, ask yourself the question: how long do we need these grates to last? If it's a lifetime, EJ is the name to remember.
