Bison Cubes make it easy to design a comfortable and beautiful outdoor environment. Bison Cubes integrate seamlessly with Bison Deck Systems. Instead of installing a Bison Wood Tile, set a Bison Cube in its place to use as a planter or add a Bison Ipê Cube Top for seating and storage. Bison Cubes for use with Bison Pedestals Specification SECTION 329433 Planters PART 1 GENERAL 1.1 SECTION INCLUDES A. Bison Cube for use as stand-alone planter or use with pedestal systems. 1.2 RELATED SECTIONS ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete any sections below not relevant to this project; add others as required. A.

Installation methods. C. Shop Drawings: Complete details of layout and assembly, showing sizes and part identification, fasteners, anchors, and fittings. D. Selection Samples: Color selections shall be made from the Manufacturer's brochure representing Manufacturer's full range of available colors and patterns. 1.5 QUALITY ASSURANCE A. Manufacturer Qualifications: All primary products in this section will be supplied by a single Manufacturer with five (5) years of experience minimum. B. Installer Qualifications: The Installer must have a minimum of two (2) years proven construction experience, be capable of estimating and building from blueprint plans and details, determine elevations and properly handle materials. All work must comply with the Bison installation procedures for assembling and installing site furnishings specified herein. C. Special Considerations: The Contractor assumes the responsibility for and must take into consideration the structural capability and adequacy of the structure below to carry the dead and live load weight(s) involved, and when appropriate, make sure that the density of any insulation is satisfactory to resist crushing and damaging the waterproofing membrane. D. The Bison Pedestal System is not intended to be part of a ballasted roofing system and does not shield the underlying roofing system from wind or other loads. The underlying roofing system must be capable of resisting the full design wind or other loads appropriate for a specific project. ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Include a mock-up if the project size and/or quality warrant taking such a precaution. The following is one example of how a mock- up on a large project might be specified. When deciding on the extent of the mock-up, consider all the major different types of work on the project. E. Mock-Up: Provide a mock-up for evaluation of surface preparation techniques and application workmanship. 1. Finish areas designated by Architect. 2. Do not proceed with remaining work until workmanship, color, and sheen are approved by Architect (if applicable). 3. Refinish mock-up area as required to produce acceptable work. 1.6 DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING A. Do not deliver to job site until conditions are ready for installation. B. Immediately upon receipt inspect all delivered materials to ensure they are undamaged and in good condition. Claims for damages must be made to the Driver/Carrier prior to accepting delivery. Note any visual damage to containers or packaging material on the bill of lading before the Driver leaves. Any damage should be noted on the bill of lading, photographed, and then reported to Bison immediately. C. All Bison Cubes should be removed from the original packaging and stored indoors until installation begins; do not leave products tightly wrapped as condensation can build up between the shrink wrap and planter, foam and planter, cardboard and planter, or any combination of materials, and could stain and/or begin to remove finishes. Do not store Bison Cubes or Tops in standing water. D. Care should be taken in the handling, placement, and maintenance of Bison Cubes. While the Cubes are extremely durable, care should be taken to not scratch, dent, or drop the Cubes. It is also recommended that clean gloves be used during handling and installation to limit exposure to grease and other contaminants. 1.7 PROJECT CONDITIONS A. There are no installation temperature restriction guidelines prescribed by Bison that limit deck installation work other than the practical considerations of working in any unsafe condition or inclement weather. B. Bison Cubes specified for use on pedestals are to be used with pedestrian decks only. www.bisonip.com Page 2 of 8 C. Bison recommends setting Cubes directly on top of Pedestals. If setting Cubes on top of the decking surface itself, special consideration must be taken to ensure positive drainage and prevent pooling water beneath the Cubes. 1.8 ROOFTOP APPLICATIONS USING BISON DECK SUPPORTS A. Bison Cubes specified for use on pedestals must be restrained by perimeter blocking or walls on all sides. Lateral movement greater than 3/16 max is unacceptable. B. The total weights of dead and live loads must be calculated and dispersed evenly over the number of pedestals needed to carry the expected weight. C. When installing Bison Cubes, additional support may be needed under the center and corners of the Cubes depending on the size and anticipated weight loads. A minimum of one additional pedestal support must be installed in the middle of each cube and for every 500 lbs (or portion thereof) of static loading. 1.9 ON GRADE APPLICATIONS A. Bison recommends setting Cubes directly on top of Pedestals. If setting Cubes on grade, special considerations must be taken to ensure positive drainage and prevent pooling water beneath the Cubes. 1.10 CONTAINER FILL A. Do not use soil weighing in excess of 25-50 lbs/cubic foot. B. The bottom of extra-large and tall Cubes can be filled with lightweight filler. Consult your landscape professional for more information on fillers that work with the desired plantings. C. The substrate immediately below the Cubes and pedestals shall provide positive drainage. D. In the case of decks over roofing substrates, roof systems must meet local building code and be in accordance with the NRCA recommended good construction practices. Only roofing manufacturer approved systems shall be used. ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Retain the next paragraph only if the pedestal system is installed over a roofing or waterproofing membrane. Delete if not required. E. Additional rooftop pedestal installation instructions must be followed and can be found in Bison Pedestal Specifications. NOTE: Bison Pedestals and Cubes must be installed on surfaces with a minimum 40 psi bearing capacity. 1.11 APPLICATIONS/SCOPE A. Furnish and install Bison Cubes for use on grade without pedestal support. B. Furnish and install Bison Cubes that integrate with the Bison Pedestal System. C. Consult the Manufacturer and the Project Engineer regarding the following: 1. When spacer tab condition or design requires spacing between decking tiles or Cubes other than the standard spacing required by the Manufacturer. 2. When the required pedestal height exceeds the safe limits as determined by the Manufacturer. 3. When planter or pedestal load capacity exceeds the maximum listed. 4. When anticipating installation of any items with excess weight on top of the deck. 5. When using Bison Pedestals on grade (soil). 6. When greater pedestal load capacity is required. 1.12 WARRANTY A. At project closeout and upon request, Bison can provide to the Owner or Owner’s Representative an executed copy of the Manufacturer’s standard document outlining the terms, conditions, and limitations of their limited warranty against manufacturing defects for a period of five (5) years.

If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another Installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparations before proceeding. 3.2 PREPARATION A. The substrate surface that will receive the Pedestals and Cubes must be: 1. Well compacted if on-grade. 2. Structurally capable of carrying the dead and live loads anticipated if over occupied space. 3. Clean and free of debris that could impair the performance of the Pedestals or Cubes. 3.3 INSTALLATION A. If a scenario is encountered during installation which is not covered, please contact Bison. B. General Safety Precautions: Bison recommends wearing puncture resistant safety gloves when handling Cubes and Tops. C. For use as Planters: 1. Place landscape fabric on the bottom of the containers to prevent soil from falling through drainage holes. 2. Container Fill: a. Do not use soil weighing in excess of 25-50 lbs/cubic foot. b. The bottom of extra-large and tall planters can be filled with lightweight filler. Consult your landscape professional for more information on fillers that work with the desired plantings. D. For use as Storage: Storage provided by Bison Cubes with Ipê Wood Cube Tops is weather resistant not watertight. E. Surface Mounting: Place Cube on level, structurally sound surface. F. Pedestal Mounting: 1. Refer to Bison Pedestal Specifications and Details for complete Pedestal installation instructions. 2. If needed, install additional pedestals under Cubes to support anticipated dead and live loads. a. Additional center pedestal support is required for each incremental 500 lb load increase. b. Pedestals should support each corner, and the center, underneath the Cube at 2-foot (24”) intervals. c. Contact Bison for information regarding center support of Aluminum Cubes. 3. Install in accordance with Bison and other contributing Manufacturers’ installation instructions. 3.4 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL A. During Installation: 1. Inspect construction process regularly to ensure that gridlines and spacing are being maintained in a straight and consistent pattern, lateral motion is restricted, and the Cubes and Pedestals are level and not rocking; shim as required. 2. Confirm that Cube height (height above parapet/bearing surface) complies with any federal, state, or local regulations. 3. Inspect to ensure that all perimeter sides of the deck system are securely contained to restrain all sides of the deck. Surface materials must fit tightly against all pedestal spacing tabs, and the gap or space at all perimeter edges must not exceed one tab width or 3/16” (4.5 mm). 4. While Bison Cubes are durable, they can be damaged by mishandling or careless treatment. If tools or equipment are dropped against a Cube surface, chips, cracks, gouges, scratches, or other surface damage may occur. If exposed to nearby construction, pay special attention to keeping the Ipê Wood Cubes and Ipê Wood Cube Tops clear of metal shavings or filings as there could be a reaction causing discoloration. B. Immediately Following Installation: The Owner, or the Owner’s Agent, shall carefully inspect the deck system to be positive that: 1. The new deck system is adequately blocked on all sides to contain the surface decking and related components. www.bisonip.com Page 8 of 8 2. There is no more than one tab width spacing between Cubes and surface materials or from perimeter containment [not to exceed 3/16” (4.5 mm)]. 3. There is no rocking of the Cube(s) or surface materials. 4. All required spacer tabs and fastening kits are installed and secure. 5. The installed Cubes are protected from damage which may result from continued site construction. C. After Installation: The Installer and/or Architect has the responsibility of informing the Owner about performing routine maintenance on the deck. This includes: 1. Checking for rocking surface materials and properly applying shims as the substrate can settle and require Pedestal adjustment. 2. Periodically checking for broken, damaged, or missing tab sets and replacing them to limit deck movement. 3. Maintaining intact and structurally sound perimeter containment. 4. Retaining extra surface materials in a convenient location for future replacements. 3.5 CUBE CARE AND MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS **NOTE TO SPECIFIER** Add any additional maintenance which might be required by the Owner including specified Cube treatments. A. Aluminum Cubes 1. Powder Coated Aluminum Cubes should be inspected regularly for soil deposits and environmental contaminants. These contaminants should be removed with a soft cloth and mild soapy water while the surface of the Cube is cool to the touch. Rinse the Cube thoroughly after each cleaning with mineral-free clean water. Take care to keep the cleaning agents from affecting the surrounding area. Harsh environments may require more frequent inspections and cleaning. Bison recommends cleaning a small area first to ensure there will be no unforeseen discoloration. 2. Oxidized Zinc Patina Aluminum Cubes have a “living” finish that will change over time. This finish is susceptible to stains and other environmental contaminants. Care should be taken in its handling, placement and maintenance. Do not clean or scrub the zinc finish with any solvents or cleaners of any kind. Lightly spray with water to clean. Do not use a power washer. 3. In the event of damage please contact Bison at 800.333.4234 or sales@bisonip.com. B. Ipê Wood Cubes and Ipê Wood Cube Tops 1. Bison Ipê Wood Cubes and Tops are made of dense hardwoods which contain a rich variety of graining and coloration. 2. Cleaning and Sealing Bison Ipê Wood Cubes and Cube Tops can be periodically cleaned and sealed. Wood stabilizers and sealants can help mitigate the loss of moisture and minimize checking and splitting; however, small checks and splits are normal and a natural part of the wood. The following manufacturers offer cleaning and sealing products specifically designed for exotic hardwoods: Messmer’s, Defy, Penofin, and TimberPro. Bison recommends that you test any cleaners or sealants in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it performs as you expect. 3. Maintaining Cube Color To better maintain the rich coloration of the Ipê Wood Cubes and Cube Tops, you can apply a penetrating oil finish with UV blocker. These products offer UV protection as well as mold and mildew protection, slowing the weathering process. Before applying any finish, first clean and remove any residue from the Ipê Wood Cube or Cube Top. After your initial coat is applied, regular maintenance coats will help keep the coloration vibrant for years to come. The frequency of application depends on the location of the Ipê Wood Cube or Cube Top. 4. Natural Aging Left to weather naturally and depending on climatic conditions, Ipê Wood Cubes and Cube Tops will develop a silvery-gray patina. To help even the aging process, Bison recommends that a coat of wood stabilizer be applied after installation. Some products provide UV protection, allowing the Ipê Wood Cubes and Cube Tops to acclimate more uniformly; however, each board has unique characteristics and will weather at different rates. The amount of direct and indirect sunlight, temperature, humidity, moisture, and other local conditions will affect the rate of change in appearance as the wood ages. 5. Ipê Wood Cube Tops As the wood is exposed to moisture, it will begin to weather and release natural tannins, which may cause some discoloration to the Cube they are set on if not cleaned or removed. 6. Environmental Conditions Being a natural product, Ipê Wood Cubes and Cube Tops will react to the surrounding environmental conditions. They may spot or stain when exposed to various materials including metal, steel, iron, or aluminum filings, pieces, equipment, tools, or fasteners; iron enriched fertilizers; plant debris; animal urine; beverage, food, or grease spills; or mildew that naturally occurs in humid or moist locations. To avoid spotting or staining during construction, Bison recommends protecting the Cubes and/or Cube Tops to reduce exposure to these materials.
