POLLN

Systems

Built to be repaired, not replaced.

Field infrastructure engineered for decades of weather, and an exchange that licenses and verifies the care it receives.

  • Marine-grade materials
  • Four configurations
  • Repairable in the field

Configurations

Four standard systems, specified to the site.

Same module family throughout. Nothing bespoke, nothing disposable.

Modular civic stewardship system: four galvanized steel planting modules in a square grid with a low perimeter frame and access gate.

Courtyards, parks, plazas, campuses

Commons System

The configuration that reads most clearly as civic infrastructure.

From £14,800

8–10 weeks lead time

01 — Commons System

Four planting modules on a square grid inside a low perimeter frame with a single access gate. Legible from a distance, walkable from every side, and sized so a group of stewards can work it at once without crowding.

  • 4× planting modules
  • Perimeter frame & gate
  • Gravel base & edging
  • Asset plate

Footprint

6.2 × 6.2 m

Modules

4 standard

Growing area

9.4 m²

Reads as civic
A defined perimeter and one gate tell a passer-by this ground is held by someone. The frame is the social contract, drawn in steel.
Worked by a group
Grid spacing is set at 1,100 mm so four to six stewards can tend simultaneously with tools out and nobody stepping into soil.
Flat-pack assembly
Ships on one pallet and assembles with a single hex key. No concrete, no trades, no site welding, no specialist crew.
Grows in place
The grid extends in module increments, so a courtyard that proves itself can double without redesign or replacement.
Rooftop stewardship system: low-profile steel planter modules on adjustable pedestals with ballast trays, trellis panel, and irrigation manifold.

Structural roofs, terraces, podiums

Rooftop System

Engineered for wind uplift and load limits without touching the membrane.

From £18,400

10–12 weeks lead time

02 — Rooftop System

Low-profile modules on adjustable pedestals with ballast trays. Everything sits above the waterproofing, levels across falls, and comes apart in the order it went together when the roof needs inspecting.

  • Pedestal-mounted modules
  • Ballast trays
  • Trellis panel
  • Irrigation manifold

Footprint

From 12 m²

Dead load

1.9 kN/m² planted

Height

620 mm profile

Install

1–2 days, hoist

Zero penetrations
Ballast and friction only. The membrane is never drilled, so warranties stay intact and the roof stays a roof.
Levels across falls
Pedestals adjust 40–140 mm, taking out drainage falls so planters read dead level against the parapet line.
Wind-rated assembly
Tray ballast is specified per exposure zone from the site's terrain category — supplied with the calculation, not a guess.
Irrigated by default
A manifold and drip lines run inside the module frames, because a terrace at altitude dries faster than anyone expects.
Hospitality stewardship system: stainless herb cultivation cabinet, harvest wash point, and compact planter modules.

Restaurants, bars, hotels, breweries

Hospitality System

Built in the material language of a professional kitchen.

From £11,200

6–8 weeks lead time

03 — Hospitality System

A stainless cultivation cabinet, a harvest wash point, and compact modules sized for a service yard. Specified so a chef can cut, rinse, and carry in one movement, and so an environmental health officer has nothing to write down.

  • Cultivation cabinet
  • Wash point & basin
  • 2× compact modules
  • Vertical trellis

Footprint

3.4 × 2.1 m

Cabinet

304 stainless

Growing area

4.1 m²

Install

1 day, 2 people

Kitchen-grade surfaces
304 stainless throughout the wash point and cabinet: wipeable, hot-water tolerant, and consistent with existing back-of-house audits.
Harvest to plate
Cut, rinse, and drain happen at the module. Yield is logged at the wash point, so the kitchen sees real substitution, not vibes.
Service-yard footprint
Designed around a 900 mm circulation route, keeping bin access, deliveries, and fire routes fully clear.
Kept by the team
The kitchen brigade are the stewards. Shift-length tasks and a simple check-in mean care fits between services.
Pocket-space stewardship system: a single galvanized planter module, slim tool locker, and bench.

Side yards, margins, thresholds, transit edges

Pocket System

The smallest complete configuration. Enough to make a margin into a place.

From £5,900

4–6 weeks lead time

04 — Pocket System

One module, one tool locker, one bench. It exists because most neglected ground is small, and because the fastest way to prove stewardship works is to hand one person somewhere specific to be responsible for.

  • 1× planting module
  • Tool locker
  • Bench
  • Species markers

Footprint

2.4 × 1.6 m

Modules

1 standard

Growing area

2.3 m²

Install

Half day, 2 people

Fits a margin
Under two metres deep, so it lands in leftover ground: a threshold, an alley, the strip beside a substation.
One steward
Scoped to a single licence. One named POLLNr, one locker key, one record — the simplest version of accountability.
Pilot instrument
Deliberately the cheapest way for a POLLNe to test the exchange on real ground before committing a portfolio.
Relocatable
Two people and a pallet truck can move the entire configuration to better ground in an afternoon.

Infrastructure that appears to have always belonged there is doing its job.
