Creating Your Own Rooftop Oasis With Commercial Planters
In urban areas, there is not much place for gardens especially for buildings at the side of the street. Usually, gardens are created at the rooftop by using commercial planters. A simple garden may be an understatement of what you can create using commercial planters because you can actually create an oasis out of them at the top of the building. The different kinds of indoor and outdoor planters that can be used in your self-made oasis are:
1. Large Planters – you will need to have large planters where you can put hedges, shrubs, or tall trees that can serve as liners or walls surrounding the whole area. Putting them in pots can be a bit messy. Large planters can also serve as a base planter if you plan to put a landscape where you can plant your flower beds.
2. Modern Planters – to make your rooftop oasis more fascinating, use some well-designed modern planters that can accentuate the whole area. There are elegant contemporary planters, designer planters, and chic indoor and outdoor planters which can complement today’s modern designs.
3. Fiberglass Planters – usually, large commercial planters are made of fiberglass because it is one of the strongest materials used for planter boxes. Fiberglass planters are ideal for outdoor settings because of its durability that can withstand strong or bad weather conditions.
4. Custom Planters – you can first plan out the whole design of your rooftop oasis before deciding which planter boxes to use. You can always order for custom planters that can specially be created based on your design. Manufacturers are even willing to help you come up with the outdoor planter that is most ideal for your planned design.
The commercial planters for your rooftop oasis are a good mediums to bring nature at the top of a tall, fully furnished, concrete building. To complete your nature-themed rooftop, you can put some water features such as a fountain, a small pond or stream, and even a swimming pool. Don’t forget to place an outdoor seating or dining set where you can relax and savor the feeling of being in the middle of an oasis.
