Flower boxes bring a touch of cheerfulness and nature to your balcony. To install them properly, it's important to choose the right support for your balustrade and the planter you've chosen. In this article, we explain how to choose the ideal support for your planters and how to hang them properly...
Flower boxes: a pretty decoration for your balcony
Flower boxes are a simple and economical way to add color and life to your balcony. They can be used to grow herbs, flowers or vegetables, and provide a beautiful decorative feature.
Garden ID offers a wide range of planters in different shapes and sizes, with or without integrated attachment systems. For example, the Green Care range of 100% recycled planters is ideal for small spaces. This range includes sober, elegant planters that can be attached to any balustrade.
How to choose the right support for your balustrade?
To hang your planters securely, it's important to choose the right bracket for your balustrade. An effective bracket holds your planter in place and prevents it from tipping over.
In some cases, the support is integrated into the planter. But most of the time, you'll have to choose between a fixed or adjustable bracket. The third option is to fit your planter with hanging hooks.
The choice of support depends mainly on the size and weight of your planter, but also on the type of railing and its material.
- Supports for wooden railings: fixed or adjustable, as required.
- Brackets for metal balusters: pay attention to the shape and to any patterns or vertical bars in the ironwork, which may interfere with the installation of certain brackets.
- Glass wall brackets: designed for modern balconies with glass railings, adjustable in height and depth, with a load-bearing capacity of up to 50 kg.
- Holders for individual pots: light and discreet, they slide in a pot and saucer.
