Weigh Before You Place

Before making any purchases, determine the capacity of your balcony. The weight of wet soil and clay containers is much higher than they appear to be, so make sure that the carrying capacity of each stand meets the total weight of your containers. First, measure the area of your floor or wall, leaving enough room to move around freely. If you want to decorate a small balcony, create different levels – stands on the floor for large containers and wall mounting for vines.

A Balcony That Blooms

There is no need for an ample space to create a garden on your balcony. What is needed is proper planning. The floor stands are for large plants, the circular stands for single pots, the railings for hanging pots, and the wall stands leave you with more space on the floor. Choose your combination, and you will have your best place at home.
