A recent parklet build with feet in Fremont. Over time, layers of asphalt can build up and create steep slopes between the center of streets and the curbs. Leveling feet bridge the gap!

Slopes, cross slopes, stormwater, drain placement, and curb heights vary from town to town and even block to block. A quick leveling feature on a modular parklet means these baddies built by can be thrown on a forklift, taken to another restaurant in and releveled on a new street with new measurements in minutes.

Modular is the name of the game these days. 👷‍♀️🚧🔧

1 4-piece parklet can make a killer floating deck or can be a smaller, movable part of a much larger parklet. Here leveled and tested the first of manymanymany 6x6 modular squares.

The beast that led us to the brackets! Substantial enough for people to feel safe from cars and positioned for prime people-watching at jazz bar , the original parklet helped us hone in on the best qualities of a permanent parklet. Especially the need for leveling feet and a little lift for storm water! The next version at Revelers will be built using our 8-Piece Kit. Link in bio.

*Chef’s kiss*

Our Tee bracket keeps a good thing going by extending the long sides of a parklet. Pair with 4 corners for a traditional parklet or throw in a few center brackets for a big deck! Link in bio.

A parklet outside a restaurant is a game changer, especially during this season of reduced indoor occupancy. Owner Ruth Thompson of was thrilled to have her restaurant capacity doubled with the addition of a designed modular parklet.

“People spots are good for business. Business owners overwhelmingly agreed that the Spots (parklets) promote economic activity: 81 percent said the Spots are better for business, and 80 percent agreed that the People Spot brought more foot traffic and customers to the street. Some businesses even found that the People Spot contributed to a 10 to 20 percent increase in sales. A whopping 93 percent said the feeling of the street is more positive since the People Spot opened”

Simple, minimal, and warm. We love the feel of natural wood products, but love the polish of a sustainable composite. ¿Por que no los dos?

Here, we played with bamboo decking by . It makes for a gorgeous, low maintenance surface that is easy to work with and will last decades.

There’s some 4’s in this house! 🏠

4-Piece kits come with everything you see here, except the lumber! These heavy duty brackets can frame a parklet platform in no time, and have an optional slot for an upright 4x4. Perfect for a pergola or deck rail!

Just a walk down memory lane, revisiting our first pandemic parklet (pre-bracket) at . The struggle to level and frame was only slightly easier than watching a flash flood threaten to sweep our new parklet down the street. We knew we were not alone in our placemaking struggles, and quickly began planning our parklet bracket system.

Today, we celebrate our bracket system that is helping us jump hurdle after hurdle in city permitting, but most importantly, is helping parklets be built more safely and quickly across the US.
