Vertical garden structure possibilities: ready-made vs customized

When building your own vertical garden, the most important part of the green wall is the structure.

Nowadays you can purchase some ready-made solutions on the market. These green wall structures usually have a fixed size and are made of plastic or felt.

The main advantage obviously is that you don’t have to bother anymore about the most complex part of your wall. However the ones that I saw have the disadvantage that it is unlikely that your plants will cover your green wall entirely and you will still have some parts where you will see the plastic, which is probably not the result we are looking for..

When you decide to build the structure all by yourself, you need to pick the right material from the beginning. For the main structure of your wall, I recommend a water resistant material that is  light weight and cheap.
