‘StreetDeck’ Parklets & Street Seating

Archatrak ‘StreetDeck’ is a complete ready-to-assemble ‘Parklet’ and modular deck kit for creating contained street seating and outdoor dining – typically situated in place of one or two parking spot.  It was specifically designed for quick and easy assembly and disassembly in any location – pavements, roadway parking spaces, outside retail establishments, trade events etc., without needing any extra components or skilled labor. Each full deck kit includes all components needed to construct a small stand-alone platform, avoiding expensive design, fabrication and installation costs.

In the current Covid-19 situation, modular decks like ‘StreetDeck’ can provide restaurants that are restricted to a limited number of patrons dining indoors, the opportunity for additional seating space outdoors, on the pavement or on closed off streets like in New York, where patrons may feel more comfortable and safe. The porcelain paver surface not looks elegant, but is exceptionally easy to keep clean. Of course, any street or pavement seating must be approved by all relevant authorities,  and if such seating is configured as a street ‘Parklet’ to take the space of one or more parking spots, the process of approval could be quite lengthy.

But ‘StreetDeck’ modular decks are not just useful for ready-made ‘Parklets’ or sidewalk cafes.  They are ideal for temporary or permanent display stages, event seating platforms, special event flooring, pop-up cafes, music stages – in fact anywhere a perfectly level, stable and self-contained elevated floor is required, temporary or permanent.

The complete deck kit comprises bolt together, powder-coated, galvanized steel perimeter modules, porcelain pavers or wood tiles for the deck surface, adjustable height pedestals to support the perimeter and pavers, plus all necessary brackets and hardware to assemble the modular deck. But many options are possible. Bring your own planters or fence panels or just use the base to make a raised, self-contained platform or deck.  And the modular design permits the deck to be easily extended at will, in increments of 24″, in both length and width.

For street Parklets we have developed complete ready-to-go kits for both 1 car space (12′ x 6′) and 2 car spaces (32′ x 6′).  These kits include all necessary components to assemble a complete and fully integrated Parklet – self-contained pedestal supported deck with pavers, access ramps, planters and railings.  But due to the modular design, these kits can be extended indefinitely in length and width. You can download a catalog here. Alternatively we can supply just the self-contained deck structure with pavers, pedestals and steel perimeter, for creating a level deck surface that fits flush with the pavement surface. All other components such as planters, railings and seating can then be added according to specific needs.
