    3 Tips for Making Artificial Green Wall Installation a Breeze

    Artificial green walls are a great way to upgrade your home. Create a peaceful oasis in your backyard or add a touch of nature to your living room to provide a lush, natural look. You can make the installation process easier following tips.

    1. Well-prepared

    First ensure that the installation elevation is flat, clean and structurally sound. Such as a fence, on which dirt, debris and old nails or screws need to be removed.

    Then accurately measure the dimensions of installation area. This enables you to accurately purchase the quantity and size of the artificial green wall, saving you the hassle of unnecessary cutting and avoiding too much or too little.

    With artificial living walls made of weather-resistant materials, UV-proof grass panels are more durable and won't fade even if exposed to sunlight for years. For both indoor and outdoor use.

    The backing grid is perforated and presses against the grommets to attach, featuring interlocking connectors for easy attachment.

    2. Layout plan

    Pre-plan the layout of your fake plant wall and lay the panels on the floor as they are installed on the wall in order.

    This way you can identify potential problems, such as uneven color matching and improper panel sizes, and promptly adjust them before installation.

    Then use a pencil and level to mark the location of each panel on the wall, including the fixing points above, middle and below. This will ensure that the installation is level and accurate and avoid mistakes during installation.

    3. Installation methods

    Artigwall® freestanding fake hedge wall are very versatile and efficient.

    It's hassle-free and without the need to assemble the panels and attaching them to the frame one by one. All you just connect 5 pre-assembled boxwood panels to get a complete hedge.

    If you want more stability, fixing the hedge wall to the planter box is a perfect option. Adding extra support or weight to the inside bottom of the planter box, such as ground anchors, gravel or sand, and water bags, won't affect even inclement weather.

    Faux green walls can be installed into different wall materials such as concrete/brick walls, fences, tile/marble walls, concrete walls, glass walls, and more.

    If the wall can't hold much weight, you can choose to add brackets or backboards.

    Square walls that are flat and free of debris are easier to install. For wall fixtures or irregular curved edges, it might require you to cut accurately with scissors or a knife. This will be more aesthetically.

    The installation process may vary. Here are some specific tips for different types of walls:
