How to create a green wall using artificial hedge
How to create a green wall using artificial hedge
Overview
Green walls are all the rage at the moment, but buying and maintaining one can be costly. Why not have a go at creating your own using pieces of artificial hedge – it looks great and will last the distance. Here's how.
Tools and materials
Steps
Gather your tools and materials
Below are all of the tools and materials you'll need to complete this project.
Measure up
Garden green walls are great for covering unsightly areas of fence or using as a screen for privacy. Figure out where you'd like yours to go, measure the space and calculate how many artificial hedge panels you will need. Each one comes in 50cm x 50cm pieces and are available to purchase from Bunnings.
Attach green wall panels together
Grab your pieces and attach the first two green wall panels together, by simply clicking into place. Best to start small – don't attach all your bits together at once.
Screw panels to fence
Use your drill and wood screws to attach your first pieces to the fence. Then go forward attaching more as you go, from left to right, making sure you secure each panel with your wood screws after clicking them into place. Keep going until your area is completely covered.
Trim any overhang
Once your last piece of green wall panel is attached, grab some scissors and trim any overhang – you want your wall to look as realistic as possible.
Go green
And you're done! The best bit? Your new vertical green wall doesn't need any watering! These panels are great for providing extra privacy and work particularly well on balconies. Or why not get creative and use them indoors? The sky's the limit!
