Now that the weather is getting nicer, they will surely become for theirsBalcony ideasSearch that makes him more comfortable and inviting? Since the space on the balcony is very limited, large pieces of furniture and numerous decorations are not very practical. They would rather ensure chaos and also disrupt freedom of movement. The walls prove to be very useful if you want to beautify the balcony and who value naturalness and a lot of green, specifically choose a flower wall for balcony. We give you the necessary ideas and two instructions with which you can make such a wall yourself.
Flower walls are not only perfect for balconies, but also enhance terraces perfectly. For this reason, our instructions are very suitable for both variants. It is only important that youmatching balcony plantsDepending on how strongly the wall is painted by the sun and how much time you want to sacrifice for care. But now see how you can make a flower wall for balcony and terrace yourself.
Make the flower wall for balcony yourself
- thin
- Wood glue
- Compressed air nailer
- Sandpaper (grain 80 and 220)
- Wood lacquer in the desired color and brush
- Hangers for flower pots
- Clay pots
- Balcony plants
Prepare the wooden strips for the flower wall for balcony by cutting them in the desired lengths first (or let them cut in the hardware store) and then grind well. Then you can start fixing them with the wood glue on the wall. Attach a series with whole pieces and cut the last piece to end the row. You start the next row on the other side so that the vertical joints between the strips are offset (such as brick).
Whenever a series is finished, you should also fix them with a few nails so that the flower wall for balcony is stable enough at the end to keep the pots. Two screws per wooden strip should be enough. If the whole wall is covered with strips, it is advisable to edit it again with sandpaper in order to get a perfect surface for the paint. Grind only with grit 80 and finally with 220. Then you can paint the vertical flowers wall for balcony.
Now spread the wall in the desired color. If the paint is not opaque enough, you can apply a second layer as soon as the first has dried. If you would like to get the worn look as in the example, let the paint dry for a few minutes, whereupon you can easily wipe off the upper layer with a cloth.
As soon as the paint is completely dried, you can screw the hangers tight. For this you should know the size for your pots so that you can determine the right distance between the hooks. Mark the spots with a pencil or edding and screw the hooks tight. Then you can plant the pots with the selected plantsand hang up.
Tipp:As in the example, you can also decorate the edges of the finished flower wall for balcony and terrace with decorative strips (or the same strips as for the wall). This is particularly advantageous when there is a slot left at the top, into which no complete bar fits and which you want to cover.
Free wall for the terrace
The second project is a free -standing construction that is a decoration andPrivacy screen for a terraceserves. Instead, you can also screw the wooden boards directly to a wall as in the example above if you want to use the design for a balcony. You can also build a small privacy screen on the balcony, which, for example, only hides the seating area.
The free -standing wall is 2 meters high, which makes it perfect for privacy screen. Avoid a higher wall because it could be rather overwhelming. Also inquire whether there are certain regulations for the amount of such walls that you have to comply with in your region. The support beams, to which they later attach the boards, should not be less than 1.2 meters apart. This is the only way to get a flower wall for balcony or terrace, which is stable enough to be able to withstand wind and weather and also the planting containers.
How many bars you need naturally depends on the length of your flower wall. The following materials were used in the example:
- Wooden beams (10 x 10 cm)
- Wooden boards
- Support boards
- Screws and drills
- Concrete, sand and water
- Screw
- drill
- Scales
- saw
- Optional: irrigation hose
For a terrace:
First mark the places where the support beams for the flower wall for balcony or terrace should be located and dig holes. A diameter of 20 cm and a depth of about 75 cm should be sufficient. All beams are temporarily attached to each other with long boards so that they stand stable when the concrete is poured and do not tip over. For this purpose, hammer a wooden pocket into the ground at both ends. Then one person should hold the bar in the hole and the other screw the board at the bottom. With a water scale, it is ensured that the bar is straight. Drill all other beams on this auxiliary board in the same way and the auxiliary board even on the wooden pegs in the ground. Then add such a auxiliary board in the upper area.
The upper auxiliary board is also supported by weird boards that are also fixed on wooden pegs (see pictures). Fill the holes with a concrete mix, but leave 7 to 10 cm unspowered. Now have the concrete hardened overnight. The next day, fill the holes with water. Depending on the concrete variety, you can continue to build in a few hours (if concrete quickly) or have to wait until the next day.
Now you can remove all support boards and plants and attach the cut boards, starting from below and with the outside. In order to always get the same distance, you don't necessarily have to measure every time. Instead, you can also use a small piece of board to help you clamp between two boards (to see in the picture). A board that is attached to the end post and is somewhat guarantees that the ends of the individual boards form a straight line. Screw each board with two screws per bar.
If you have reached the desired height for the flower wall for the balcony and terrace, saw the excess part of the bars with a saw. If you want, you can now tooAttach irrigation hosethat later makes it easier to water the flowers. The hose will later be hidden inside the construction. If the hose is installed, you can also finish the inside of the flower wall for balcony and terrace. To do this, proceed as for the outside. Finally, they disguise the visible side of the outer beams and you can build the flower boxes and add hooks or hang finished boxes for hanging in the cracks between the boards.
As a flower wall for balcony:
If your balcony already has a wall, you can easily transfer this design to the wall for a flower wall for balcony by screwing vertically on the wall on the left and right side. If the wall is particularly long, you can also add a board in the middle. As in the description above, they fix the horizontal boards on these boards. The rear construction creates a distance between the wall and flower wall so that theyHang out flower boxescan.
However, if your balcony has no side wall, you can use the same construction for the balcony design as for the terrace to use a flower wall forBalcony with a privacy functionto obtain. You can build a single wall or a L-shape as in the example above. You can anchor the bars in the ground using a post carrier, also called the post anchor.
