Life Center / General Report
Taichung City is currently building a number of three-dimensional parking lot, after the completion of the parking space in addition to a large increase, the Transportation Bureau also launched a green beautification plan, the parking lot into a small oasis in the city.
As of February this year (113), a total of 59 parking lots and 2 towing yards, including Shuinan Central Park, Chuangyan 22, 26, Dajia Liming Parking Lot, Houli Fuxing Parking Lot, etc., have been successfully landscaped.
▲ The green beautification operation of the parking lot is ongoing, and the selection of durable varieties ensures the long-term operation of the landscape.
"Taichung City Government attaches importance to the voice of the public, improve the parking lot environment, green beautification has become a dazzling highlight of the city!" Transportation Secretary Ye Zhaofu explained that the core of the parking lot renovation plan is to expand green beautification, choose plant varieties with beautification environment and durability, to ensure that the green fence can maintain a beautiful landscape in long-term operation, while having a good impact on the environment.
In the future, we will continue to plant rich and diverse green plants around various parking lots and towing yards to build a green ecological barrier.
▲ The Hing Neutral Parking Lot, which is under construction, integrates aesthetics, environmental protection and ecology with the plan of “Vertical Park of Parking Lot ”.
In addition to beautifying the existing parking lot, the Taichung Municipal Transportation Bureau also combines greening concepts with greening concepts for the parking lot currently under construction. For example, the Hing Neutral Parking Lot, which is expected to open in 114 years, is different from the traditional green landscape design. Make the wall green effect, so that the parking lot looks like a three-dimensional forest in the park, integrating beauty, environmental protection and ecology, providing a green barrier that can purify the air, reduce noise and heat island effect, and improve the urban environment.
The park concept is integrated into the parking lot design, and the size of the parking lot is reduced to increase the area of green space. The event plaza and urban ribbon multi-purpose space are planned on Chenggong Road and Hing Chung Street.

Content: It has been more than two years since the city implemented the “Measures to Encourage the Installation and Feedback of Liveable Building Facilities ”, and as of July this year, a total of 88 applications have been approved and 63 have been approved.
Taichung Metropolitan Bureau of Development Huang Wenbin said today that the construction base generated a total of 56,831.81 tons of carbon sequestration, an increase of 1,813 trees, with Wenxin Forest Park accounting for about 1,500 trees, which is equivalent to the creation of 1.2 Wenxin Forest Park.
The Taichung City Government has implemented the “Measures for Encouraging the Establishment and Feedback of Liveable Building Facilities in Taichung City ” to encourage builders to set up“ Vertical Greening ” and “Vertical Neighborhood Space ” and other liveable building facilities.
For the flexibility of the design of the multi-storey terrace in the neighborhood, at least a certain scale of community common space, close the relationship between the residents of the community, and also regulate the planting of trees of a certain size and suitable for growth and management and maintenance of the space, to confirm that it can grow thick and increase the proportion of urban greening.
As of the end of July this year, there have been a total of 88 applications, 63 have been approved, and the construction base has generated a total of 56,831.81 tons of carbon sequestration. A total of 1,813 trees have been added. Take Wenxin Forest Park, which has about 1,500 trees, for example, to create 1.2 Wenxin Forest Park. The amount of carbon sequestration is equivalent to adding more than 90 small community neighborhood parks, which not only beautify the urban environment but also improve the quality of the living environment.
According to the Taichung Metropolitan Development Bureau, urban greening can alleviate the heat island effect in the city, and can also help to adsorb pollutants in the air and reduce PM2.5.

Content: Did you know that more and more liveable buildings like a three-dimensional park will appear in Taichung City? The Taichung City Government implemented the “Measures to Encourage the Establishment and Feedback of Liveable Building Facilities in Taichung City ”, which has reached its third anniversary and has applied for 117 construction licenses, of which 88 have been approved.
In order to present the results of the implementation of the Measures and to present the urban development vision of Taichung as a “New International Portal, a Happy and Liveable City ”, the Urban Development Bureau of the Taichung Municipal Government and the Taichung Architect Association will hold the“ Exhibition of Works of the 3rd Anniversary of Taichung City ’ s Liveable Architecture ” in the lobby of the first floor of the Dadun Cultural Center. Interested people are welcome to visit.
Climate change is an important global issue, and the task of zero carbon emissions and greenhouse gas reduction cannot be postponed.
In order to promote livable buildings and build a vertical green ecosystem in the city to achieve the goal of effectively improving the urban heat island effect and reducing carbon emissions in the city, the Taichung City Government has implemented the "Measures to Encourage the Installation and Feedback of Liveable Building Facilities in Taichung City" since March 26, 2019.
As of May 6, 111, there are 117 construction applications, a total of 88 construction licenses have been approved, and 3 use licenses have been issued. Among them, a total of 3,043 trees have been added due to the construction of livable facilities, and the carbon sequestration amount has increased by 13,845 tons, which is equivalent to the creation of about 2 Wenxin Forest Park. Small community neighborhood parks, through the way of "one project, one park", to compensate for the lack of vertical greening in the city, not only beautify the urban environment, but also improve the quality of the residents' living environment, and make Taichung a beautiful and livable happy garden city.
Huang Wenbin, director of the Urban Development Bureau of Taichung City Government, stressed that the formulation of the measures is intended to be of a public welfare nature and to seek the best livable life for the citizens.
If the project plans vertical greening facilities, the floor area of the building will be exempted from award setting (the maximum allowable area is 10% of the legal volume), and it will not be included in the building surveying and ownership registration area, so as to prevent harm and avoid raising the price of the house.
At the same time, based on the principle of public plains, the construction company pays a rebate for the floor portion of the building without volume, of which 60% is provided for the follow-up management committee to manage and maintain livable facilities, and the other 40% is used as a livable building research and development and special landscape green energy development subsidy fund.
If you want to learn more about Taichung ’ s liveable architecture design, you can ’ t miss the “Taichung City Liveable Architecture 3rd Anniversary Exhibition ”.
The exhibition will be held at 10: 00 a.m. on June 17 at the Dadun Cultural Center in Taichung City, followed by a livable forum discussing topics such as livable architecture, sustainable ecological city, vertical greening, and new aesthetics of Taichung city.

Content: More construction owners apply for subsidies to increase the garden high-rise green space area doubled in 10 years
Font Size:
Our high-rise green space has increased significantly, more than doubling in size over the past 10 years, from 60 hectares in 2013 to 155 hectares.
In addition to more new builders incorporating high-rise green spaces or rooftop gardens into their blueprints, more and more owners of older buildings are applying to the National Park Service for subsidies to add or convert their roofs into green spaces.
In an interview with the Lianhe Zaobao, the senior director of the National Park Service's landscaping department, Sophie Ann, revealed that since 2009, about 300 projects have applied for grants for high-rise green spaces or vertical landscaping.
Owners who receive the allowance must ensure that the green space of the tall building is maintained for at least five years.
According to the Park Service, only five applicants no longer maintain green spaces for high-rise buildings due to financial or other factors.
The Park Service annually reviews whether the green spaces in tall buildings are still lush and provides horticultural advice when needed, such as introducing heat-resistant and heat-resistant landscape plants to replace poorly grown flowers and trees.
The Park Service would not disclose how much subsidy has been allocated so far, but stressed that the purpose of the subsidy is to encourage more owners to pay attention to the benefits of high-rise green space, in line with Singapore ’ s 2030 Green Plan, to implement the vision of 200 hectares of high-rise green space.
In fact, many builders choose to set up garden green space in tall buildings or rooftops, or plant vertical flowers and trees in the outer layer of the building, while greening the building environment of steel cement, it also saves energy costs for cooling indoor space.
Rooftop gardens can "cool" the surface of a building by 6 degrees Celsius and reduce the surrounding temperature by 4 degrees Celsius, Sufian said.
In addition, when the solar panel is placed on the roof, if green plants are also planted below it, the solar panel can be prevented from overheating and the charging efficiency can be improved.
More intensive planting of various plants along the roadside
Green buildings such as vertical greening are a topic of concern in recent years, and integrating green space and natural habitat in new towns and residential areas can be one of the compromise solutions to balance urban development and conservation, and offset the plundering and depletion of the natural environment by development projects.
About 40 percent of Singapore's land area is covered by green vegetation, many of which are naturally formed forests in the past half century.
After the urban development of the 1970s, many rural and agricultural land was cleared, and tropical tree species that are easier to reproduce and grow quickly were planted, and many sub-forests were scattered everywhere.
Over the years, the Park Service has also grown more dense and numerous plants per hectare of road land than in the past.
In the past, most of the plants on both sides of the road were of the same species. "This is not a wise move, because if a certain species of tree is infected, it will affect a lot of trees," said Mr Woo Chao-shing, Senior Director of Roads and Landscape of the Park Service.
As a result, over the years, more diverse species of shrubs and trees have been added to create a sense of stratification along roadsides or open spaces, attracting more butterflies and birds, etc. “And this will improve the fragmentation of green spaces caused by urbanization, strengthen ecological cohesion, repair roads and increase the destruction of nature by building more houses. ”
"When cities develop, we have to compensate by planting more plants in the same area of green corridors, or by choosing plants that grow faster to get back to the lush feeling of the past as soon as possible," Hu said.
To this end, the Park Service launched the rewilding project three years ago, deliberately ignoring the green corridors of 24 locations, reducing the number of routine pruning of branches and weeds and creating a sense of overgrown grass.
"We deliberately allow nature to grow freely, increasing its biodiversity and saving manpower, as long as it does not block the entrance of drainage channels or obstruct the passage of pedestrians," Hu said.
However, some residents are concerned about mosquito breeding, and "we will consider it on a case-by-case basis before deciding whether to expand the area under the plan."

Content: I don't want to jinx anything for you all but through the showers this week there have been glimpses of blue skies and glimmers of sunshine, indicating that summer may well be on its way. I love being outside as much as possible, but I have very limited outdoor space available to me.

Figuring out how to maximise my 2m by 2m courtyard garden to make it as usable as possible for me was an important part of planning my renovation. Here’s what I learned about making the best use of limited outdoor space.

As with every space, it’s important to first consider how you want to use it. For me, I wanted a few things:

Additional dining space for larger gatherings

Somewhere to lay out and relax on nice days

GREENERY

A swimming pool (ok fine so I didn’t get everything I wanted)

In a 2m x 2m space, some items on this list seemed incompatible (if not impossible), so I had to get creative.

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINING

First up, creating an outdoor dining space for entertaining, which generally requires a table and chairs. The chairs are easy and I’ll get to those, but a table is tricky — if you have limited space then a table is either a permanent feature in your garden or requires storage space that you may not have. Luckily my builder came up with a genius solution for this — he used leftover building materials to make a table that folds up against the garden wall, meaning I can have a large dining table when needed but can easily free up the space to lay out in. If you’re handy you can do the same, or you can buy pre-made folding tables designed to be mounted on walls — I have seen a range of these available on Etsy.

Chairs are simpler — I absolutely recommend having a built-in bench along one wall. It is by far the best use of space to fit people around a table. Wood or tiles are the best materials here — mine is made from the same tiles used in my downstairs bathroom, and I like the consistency that brings. Just check they’re suitable for outdoor use. For additional seating you can buy folding garden chairs which can be hung on the wall when not in use — mine are from Ikea and I spray painted them to fit my style.

One thing I plan on installing this summer is a retractable awning. These are a super way to maximise the space available to you — it means a light shower won’t ruin your outdoor dinner party. There are more affordable options that involve manually winding the awning in or out, all the way up to electronic options that also include lighting and heaters.

LYING OUT IN SUNSHINE

I will concede that due to our weather, this isn’t the most frequent way I use my garden.

However on those beautiful summer days there’s nothing better than soaking up the Irish sun!

I don’t have the storage space for a garden lounger so instead I bought myself a hammock. I couldn’t love it more. All it took was installing two hooks in the garden, and when not in use hammocks fold down to practically nothing. They’re easy to keep clean, and there’s nothing nicer than that gentle swaying motion.

Hammocks are available in a number of lengths so you’re likely to find something to fit your space — just make sure you measure correctly and leave enough space for it to move in.

If for some reason you hate hammocks, or cannot fit one, I think inflatable outdoor furniture is a great option. Again these store away much more easily than foldable furniture. Just make sure you cover the plastic with a throw or blanket — bare skin and inflatable furniture are not friends.

GREENERY

I don’t have green fingers. I have given up on gardening. I don’t have the patience to repot and replant things, and I don’t have the talent to keep pretty plants alive. However, I did want greenery to create a sense of peacefulness and to improve the air quality in my city garden.

Much like my garden table, the solution here was to go vertical. Luckily for me my friend Jonny Gannon (gannonandassociates.ie) is an exceptional landscaper, and in exchange for me making his wedding cake he installed the most beautiful vertical garden wall for me. Even I am able to (mostly) keep these plants alive — this wall is north facing and doesn’t get much sun, so what works best for me here are ivys, heucheras, and ferns. I’ve even managed some hardy herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and parsley.

The garden wall comprises felt pockets (bought on Amazon) nailed to a plywood board, which in turn is screwed onto my garden wall. The pockets act as plant pots but be warned that they dry out a lot quicker, so plenty of watering is required. Overall it’s not difficult to install and believe me— if I can maintain a garden wall, anyone can.

Q&A

QUESTION

Could you please advise where you got your vinyl tiles and who fitted them?

Sounds exactly what I'm looking for, for my kitchen & utility room. Just a bit worried about table and chair marks!! Thank you very much.

ANSWER

I bought my LVT flooring from Deco Designs in Dublin. The brand is Moduleo. I’m really happy with both the brand and the fitter, happy to recommend both. Some other LVT brands you could check out are Karndean and Amtico. In my experience nothing has marked this floor — I drag my table, chairs, bike, stilettos, wheelie suitcases, couch, across it and it so far seems pretty indestructible. Any scuffs have been very easy to clean.

This year, 12 schools in Jianping Elementary School, Juren Elementary School and Chongde Elementary School have received subsidies from the Environmental Protection Department.
According to the Environmental Protection Bureau, through the installation of clean air green walls, indoor air quality can be improved. At present, space such as classroom corridors and flower stands outside the daughter wall in Taichung City can be planted, which can achieve the benefits of dust retention, air pollution absorption and temperature regulation.
In order to strengthen the protection of the school environment for children, the Taichung City Environmental Protection Bureau expanded the subsidy for the construction of a clean air green wall on the campus, and the current subsidy amount to 1.76 million yuan, with an area of 358 square meters.
The Environmental Protection Bureau stressed that currently selected plants that can purify the air and do not need to spend too much money and time to maintain include the Dragon Tubeh, the Junzi and Wu Bamboo, the Turtle, the Cannonflower or the Honeysuckle.
How good is the effect of clean air green wall?
According to international research, vertical clean air green walls can reduce the concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM10) by about 40% and 60%. In addition, green walls can also reduce the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in classrooms by about 10% and the concentration of ozone (O3) by about 30%.
Green wall is the most natural and energy efficient air purification facilities, no need to plug in electricity, self-circulation, to achieve the purpose of air purification, can be called the "most environmentally friendly air purifier".
Chen Hongyi, director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, said that in addition to blocking outdoor pollutants and improving indoor air, the air green wall can also adjust the temperature and drive energy conservation and carbon reduction. Next year, Taichung City is expected to expand the subsidy target, including community activity centers, public kindergartens and environmental night markets.

How to Create an Outdoor Oasis When You’re Short on Space

Experts chime in with smart solutions for limited backyard square footage, from plant propagation to thinking vertically

Though we can daydream of summer lunches beneath a pergola, the reality for many of us is that square footage is limited. But with great small backyard ideas, having limited outdoor space shouldn’t be a reason to discard your fantasy of a lush retreat at home. There are many innovative ways to craft an inviting outdoor retreat yourself, from layering your plants strategically to using multipurpose furniture. Below, we asked three experts to weigh in on how to create a compact oasis that will leave guests wondering your secrets.

Figure out your budget and plant hardiness zone

Maryah Greene, New York–based plant doctor, stylist, and founder of Greene Piece, recommends putting some thought into how much you’d like to spend and what plants will work best in your zone. “Consider this before going hard and decking your outdoor space out [completely], because you may find that you only get to enjoy those plants for a few months unless they’re perennials,” she advises. “The most common mistake that people make is investing a ton of money into their outdoor space just to realize that some of those plants won’t grow back next year!”

When choosing plants for a truly tight space, Fernando Rubio, landscape architect and founder of Defined Outdoors, picks plants that thrive in those conditions. “Opt for compact varieties such as herbs, dwarf shrubs, and container-friendly trees,” he says. “Also, consider using small-size foliage to add a layered, multidepth feel to your outdoor space.”

For budget-conscious DIY’ers, Greene suggests repurposing extra indoor items as planters or decorative elements. You should also try propagating, she says. “Different plants propagate differently, but for the ones that are cutting propagations, plop your cutting into a jar of water until it roots. From there, you can plant it in your garden or outdoor space without spending a dime on a new plant.”

Find practical solutions for your tiny footprint

Lacking a “typical” outdoor space? Small space consultant, author, designer, and stylist Whitney Leigh Morris dares you to get creative when it comes to small backyard ideas. “Even the tiniest slice of outdoor space surrounding your home can be transformed into a functional and tranquil retreat without much effort,” she says. “A stoop, driveway, porch, or miniature garden can all be effective ways to enlarge and enhance your living space. In order to maximize utility, keep reality in mind rather than being lured into styles that don’t suit your practical needs or the qualities of your surroundings.”

One of Greene’s favorite ways for urbanites to flex their green thumbs is by planting in window boxes. “If your fire escape allows you to sit a small planter right outside your window, this can make for a great place to grow herbs or add a few colorful flowers,” she adds. Just remember to keep safety first; avoid obstructing the pathway. Morris is a fan of container gardens, “whether [it’s] repurposed, staggered-height pots, wall-mounted vessels, or balcony planters,” she says.

All three experts were keen on the idea of vertical gardening. “Vertical elements like hanging planters, wall-mounted planters, trellises, and pedestals can draw the eye upwards, creating the illusion of more space. Plus these elements can also add privacy and serve as a focal point in your outdoor space,” Rubio says.

Make it an extension of your home

You don’t need a massive patio or garden for dreamy indoor-outdoor living. The key is continuity: Decorate your outdoor space just like you would your interiors. “Don’t overlook ambiance,” Morris says. “It’s not just important for visual impact, but for your nervous system and well-being too. Soft, warm-hued lighting; soothing sounds; lush greenery; textile layers such as outdoor rugs and upholstery; and privacy borders, from billowing curtains to trellises to folding screens, can all play a vital and impactful role in establishing a serene setting.”

Lighting can make all the difference in how your space feels,” Rubio adds. “Adding some ambient lighting like string lights or lanterns can create a warm and inviting atmosphere. If you’re handy, task lighting—like spotlights or pendant lights—can also highlight specific areas or features.”

Rubio also advises keeping the design simple and pared back, if that’s your vibe. “When working with limited space, a minimalist approach to layout and design can make your space feel more spacious and relaxing,” he says. “Streamlined design elements, a simple color palette, and plenty of negative space can help create a visually appealing and calming outdoor oasis. Plus it makes maintenance a lot easier in the long run.”

Prioritize function

To make sure your small outdoor space is one you’ll actually use, consider what will make the reimagined zone work best for you. “For example, if you get abundant rain, make sure to use weather-proof pieces and incorporate waterproof storage into your design features,” Morris offers. “If you entertain a great deal, keep not only your guests in mind but also their belongings. Where will everything be placed to avoid overcrowding when you host? If your outdoor area is exposed to ongoing direct sun, explore safe methods of blocking the sun through plants, umbrellas, or sail shades.”

For Greene, it’s all about growing what you can use. “Herbs, veggies, flowers…if you cook a lot or just enjoy the occasional bouquet on your table, save yourself money and reward yourself,” she says.

Meanwhile, Rubio recommends smart outdoor furniture: “In small outdoor spaces every inch counts, so incorporating multifunctional elements can be a game changer,” he says. “Benches with built-in storage or planters that double as seating can maximize your space and make your outdoor area more practical. Modular furniture is also a smart option, allowing you to easily rearrange and adapt your space as needed.”

Homeowners should consider plants like the Dragon Tubeh, the Junzi and Wu Bamboo, the Turtle, the Cannonflower, or the Honeysuckle when choosing plants for their green wall, as they can purify the air and require low maintenance.

Homeowners should consider the climate suitability of plants when choosing them for their green wall.

Content: Crafting Timeless Beauty: Customized Landscape Solutions

words Al Woods

In a world where landscapes reflect the signature of Mother Nature and human ingenuity intertwined, crafting an outdoor space is akin to composing a piece of art that withstands the test of time. It’s a canvas where scenery echoes the narrative of the homeowner, where functionality marries aesthetics. In the pursuit of personalized paradise, humanity has turned to customized landscape solutions, creating gardens, backyards, and outdoor environments that are as unique as the individuals who inhabit them.

The Personalized Garden: A Reflective Space

Gardens have long been spaces where the human soul finds solace and peace, often mirroring the inner landscape of those who tend them. The personalized garden, cultivated with detail to reflect one’s tastes and aspirations, serves not only as a place of quietude but as an extension of the home’s narrative. Consider the charm of a garden that unfurls colors reminiscent of a cherished childhood memory, or the fragrant pathway that leads one to a contemplative corner adorned with a favorite sculpture. The beauty of a personalized garden lies not in its form alone but in the stories it tells and the emotions it evokes for those who experience it. Having meticulously planned landscape designs ensures that your garden is a timeless space, growing and evolving with you. This space becomes a reflection of your life, where memories are made and cherished forever.

A Symphony of Seasons

The essence of timelessness in landscape solutions lies in their ability to adapt to the capricious face of nature. As the seasons change, so too must the splendor of a garden. Customized landscape designs factor in the nuances of the local climate, allowing for a symphony of seasonal transformations that keep the outdoor space fascinating year-round.

Imagine your garden in the variety of hues offered by spring’s floral ballet, or the quiet dignity of the winter scape, punctuated by stoic evergreens and the delicate latticework of bare branches. Each season brings a new melody to the experience, ensuring that the landscape — an ode to the environment it inhabits — remains eternally captivating.

Form Meets Function

While the aesthetic appeal of personalized landscapes is paramount, a design that does not address functionality is akin to a story with no substance. The symbiotic relationship between form and function is crucial. It transforms an outdoor space from a mere view to a living, breathing part of your daily life.

Balancing recreational areas with low-maintenance greenery, incorporating privacy buffers, and integrating sustainable practices into the design all contribute to the functionality of a landscape. The result is an environment that not only pleases the eye but serves as a functional extension of your living space — a harmonious integration of nature and necessity.

Ecological Elegance

In today’s world, ecological mindfulness has taken center stage, and landscapes are no exception. Customized solutions that champion sustainability not only reduce the carbon footprint but also foster an enduring relationship with the environment.

This can be accomplished through the use of native plants that require less water and maintenance, the inclusion of edible landscapes that promote self-sustainability, or the implementation of rainwater harvesting and permeable paving to mitigate environmental impact. Harmonizing the landscape with the local ecosystem ensures an enduring, elegant environmental legacy.

The Role of Technology

Advancements in technology have revolutionized the way landscapes are designed and experienced. From 3D modeling that allows homeowners to visualize their ideas before implementation to smart irrigation systems that minimize water wastage, technology plays a vital role in crafting contemporary timeless landscapes.

Integration of outdoor sound systems, automated lighting that accentuates the architectural elements of the landscape, and apps that help in plant maintenance are just a few examples of technology enriching the outdoor experience. When used judiciously, technology serves to enhance the natural beauty, making the personalized landscape not only visually appealing but also high-function and adaptive.

The Craft of Maintenance

A masterpiece is only as good as its upkeep. The craft of maintenance is the unseen hand that maintains the integrity and beauty of a personalized landscape. Routine care, seasonal rejuvenations, and the occasional refreshments ensure that the outdoor space remains a source of joy and tranquility.

Engaging with landscape professionals who understand the customized nature of your outdoor environment is key to keeping it in prime condition. Regular consultations, proper pruning, and proactive management of issues like soil erosion ensure that the landscape not only survives but thrives, becoming more enchanting with each passing year.

When crafting your personalized outdoor haven, focus on the holistic picture. Ensure that your landscape tells a story unique to your life and aspirations; that it is functional, sustainable, and connects with the local ecosystem; and that it stands the test of time and seasons. Customized landscape solutions are not merely about aesthetics; they are a reflection of your values, your identity, and your desire to fuse the comfort of home with the magnificence of nature.

In the process of urban development, the views of practicing architects on what is an ideal living environment have greatly affected the appearance of the city.
Architect Su Yu-che and landscape scholar Hung Wo-chih believe that the wall-free green space is crucial to urban life today. This article uses the dialogue between the two to describe the possible imagination of the future Taipei space.
Focus on space outside the building
The appearance of the city changes with the needs of the times, and each building can be regarded as a concrete microcosm of people's imagination of urban life.
Su Yu-che pointed out that many communities in Taipei City are currently in the process of urban renewal to demolish old homes and build new homes.
However, the development process of each old street can not be synchronized, and the construction of a house will greatly affect the lives of the surrounding residents if it does not take into account the sunlight, air circulation and spatial movement of the surrounding houses.
In addition to relying on legal norms, construction companies also need to consciously carry out overall thinking and planning in order to create a truly comfortable neighborhood life.
"In the past, the rules of urban development were formulated with architecture as the main body, but the so-called city should be a virtual space outside the building, that is, an" empty "space."
Su Yu-che believes that both the natural environment of the countryside and the built-up areas must be taken into account, and an appropriate "space" should be defined.
Hung further explained that the environmental planning surrounding the building is important for creating a healthy living environment.
The so-called virtual space also includes green space, green space not only can regulate cooling, help carbon emission, but also help to establish a sense of neighborhood, she said: "As long as there is green space in a community, everyone is willing to go outdoors, gather here, create communication opportunities, increase mutual interaction; even if there is no dialogue, because often meet, will also produce a sense of closeness, drawing each other's distance."
Green living room on the first floor
Su Yu-che adds that before all cities became densely populated and paved with man-made construction, they belonged to the primitive state of nature. Nowadays, people like to go to the countryside on holidays and stay away from the cement jungle to meet the original needs of human nature.
Hong Ho-mo pointed out that the Taipei City government advocates “building a green and healthy Taipei ” and has opened a total of 994 parks and green areas with a total area of more than 18.07 million square meters.
The more green space in Taipei's parks, the higher the happiness of residents.
In the city's greening plan, Su Yu-che believes that the most challenging part of the city is the central part of the city or the area with a high concentration of buildings. A shared public space is actually feasible, "he said.
For example, the increasingly popular movable glass doors and windows can be fully opened when the weather conditions are good. In addition to helping to regulate the air and suitable for sub-tropical housing, it can also connect the indoor space on the first floor with the space for outdoor tree planting, so that the greenery is no longer blocked by the wall, and it can also enhance people ’ s intimacy. It is an urban living room that belongs to everyone, and the people on both sides of the glass wall do not know, but in the open space, there is a chance to break the original "you are you, I am me" boundary, so that the interaction is more friendly. 」
Vertical greening makes cities more comfortable
In the past, people often thought that landscape design was only introduced at the end of the project, but in fact, the overall landscape planning should precede the architectural design.
If you want to further green the existing Taipei urban space, you can consider using the old viaducts and elevated railways in New York City, Boston, and Seoul to turn the old viaducts and elevated railways into air parks, and map out the different levels of space, such as pedestrian bridges and roof spaces, so that the city can add more pleasant spaces by way of vertical greening.
According to Hung, in a densely populated urban environment, more green space can be reserved through the combination of green spots (small parks), green corridors (roadway trees or rivers), green surfaces (big parks or water and green resources), or urban renewal. A beautiful and green living environment, a sustainable and livable Taipei city blueprint for the coexistence of bird-language flowers and nature. "
In addition to the construction and maintenance of the park's green space, Hung points out that Taipei has also combined public and private efforts to adopt the park's green space with roadway trees, select plants, and even plan an urban agricultural park where people in the community can grow vegetables and garden together.
She said: “The diverse creativity and vitality of citizens can not only increase the energy of urban development, but also contribute to the sustainable operation of urban greening. ”
In recent years, Taipei City has been making efforts to make the city greener. Our lives can be better, and the city is more beautiful, healthy and safe. "

Content: Invite nature into your home by creating a verdant "living wall" display

Humans need plants to survive.

We eat them, drink them, use them as medicine, and even decorate with them in order to bring joy to our daily lives.

Once you start caring for a couple of houseplants, it's easy to spiral into an obsession with our magnificent, leafy friends. If your collection of 20-plus houseplants isn't enough to satiate your need for greenery in your home anymore, why not take it to the next level with a full-blown living wall?

Living walls, or vertical gardens as they're sometimes called, are made up of an array of live plants that are planted vertically and can range in size from just a few square feet to entire walls in large atrium spaces.

However, larger installations can cost upwards of $125-$225 per square foot of wall and aren't exactly feasible for renters or homeowners who are on a strict budget or have limited space.

While you can certainly contract a company to install a living wall in your home, there are also local and handcrafted options to consider depending on your budget, your lifestyle and what look you're going for.

Dominic Villareal in front of A Modern Plantsman's living wall display.

Dominic Villareal, the owner of A Modern Plantsman, weighed his own options when expanding his Colfax plant store to downtown Spokane in late 2021.

"My partner and I were scoping out the local plant scene, and we noticed immediately that there was a lack of living wall installations in Spokane," he says. "There are no plant stores or nurseries in the area that have one."

When Villareal secured the space for his shop on the main floor of the Hotel Indigo building, he began designing a plant wall that was eye-catching as well as functional for his customers. The plant wall, constructed by Villareal himself, features wooden shelves that are just deep enough to hide the pots that the plants reside in, giving it the appearance of a living wall.

"That's very doable for a home setting," he says. "You can take the pots off the shelf for easy watering and care."

Villareal recommends plants that trail for any DIY living wall project, but also says that including plants of different heights can give the wall a much more textured and varied appearance.

"Start with plants like pothos, heart leaf philodendrons and prayer plants," Villareal says. "Prayer plants specifically can deal with very low-light situations, which is perfect for a home installation. They'll disguise any nonnatural elements of the wall once they start to trail down."

Previous owner of Sage + Moss and seasoned houseplant parent Annecia Paulson recommends utilizing organic elements when creating your display for ease of watering and a more harmonious facade.

The most common way to do this is by creating mounted plant displays. Mounted plants are plants that have been affixed onto an object using moss or other organic materials.

"Creating mounted plants is actually a really easy process," she says. "You simply remove most of the dirt from the roots, place the plant on the piece of bark and then attach it using sphagnum moss and fishing line."

The upkeep and care of mounted plants lie in the choice of wood, Paulson says.

"Using cork bark is the best option — it's lightweight and naturally mold-resistant. Just soak the whole thing in water, let it drip dry and then hang it on your wall using Command hooks or string. Super simple," she says.

If the trial and error of diving in headfirst just isn't your thing, many area plant stores, including A Modern Plantsman, offer workshops on how to create mounted plants and products that can assist you in your journey to creating a living wall.

"We really try to act as a resource for people in the community," Villareal says. "We want to help people learn how to do these things. I've already gone through the trial and error of the projects that people attempt at home, so I'm happy to give people that knowledge." ♦

Content: How to equip the territory around a private house: "helpers" and solutions
18.05.2023
10 min.
Adjacent territory
All “freshly baked ” and even“ experienced ” owners of suburban housing have to think about the question of how to equip the territory around a private house.
The task before them is not easy, because its design depends on what impression will make the main building and the site as a whole.
Successful landscape design of the yard of a private house will not only make possession respectable, but will also be able to turn it into the most comfortable place, a real pride of the owners.
However, before getting down to business, future designers need to get acquainted with the rules of decorating the adjacent territory, with the decorative elements used and with interesting ideas.
Landscaping and landscape design
It seems that these are synonyms, but it is not quite so.
The improvement of the site implies only technical work.
These include paving paths and sites, the construction and installation of a fence, gates, as well as preliminary preparation of the territory (drainage, communications, landscaping, etc.).
Landscape design is a more complex project, so it requires more serious costs.
In this case, we can talk about creativity, since the author has to choose a lot of plants, pavements, and various decorative elements.
Usually, the improvement of the adjacent territory is the prerogative of the engineer, and the landscape design is engaged in a designer or architect.
However, if the entire front of the work is going to be performed by the owners of the suburban area, then they should become "masters of all trades".
And in this case, the task before them is almost impossible.
Yes, if the territory is not very large, then they are quite able to cope on their own.
Almost “boundless space ” and many different ideas are a good reason to invite specialists.
Making the yard of a private house with his own hands: large elements-assistants
Those who have just completed the construction of the house, the most difficult, as they have yet to decide what to be on their site.
In this case, you need to get acquainted with the elements that will help make the pastime of the owners pleasant, and the rest complete.
The list of worthy candidates can include:
• gazebo, ideal option - a structure with any hearth and furniture for eating, it can be open or closed;
• canopy, which often turns into a comfortable summer kitchen, and "part-time" - in the dining room in the fresh air;
• swimming pool: it can also be open or closed, protected by a simple canopy, an “advanced ” pavilion, etc.
For families with small children, the best option would be an adjacent territory with a playground.
Possible elements:
• slides;
• carousels;
• rocking chairs;
• swing;
• sandboxes;
• suspended bridges, etc.
Multifunctional complex "for parents' rest" can be bought, and you can make such a saving design yourself.
In a small homemade area can enter a slide, swing, sandbox and horizontal bar.
Landscaping and landscaping of the territory in front of a private house: sequence
To imagine what work “waits ” for them ahead, future designers need to get acquainted with its stages.
There are a lot of them:
• cleaning of the house and territory after construction (repair);
• its zoning, construction of auxiliary facilities (gazebo, swimming pool, pond, fence, etc.);
• creation of garden paths, sites (paving stones, paving slabs,
• rubber coating for playgrounds);
• acquisition and delivery of fertile land, sand, gravel and fertilizers, the creation of a drainage system for the site;
• planting large plants and assembling decorative structures for gardening (arches, hedges, pergolas, trellis);
• creation of a lawn, flower beds (flower beds, rock gardens, rockeries, mixborders, etc.), planting stunted trees and shrubs.
The last stages are the design of children ’ s and / or sports grounds, recreation areas, installation of lighting devices and decorative elements.
Improvement of the territory of a private house: the first steps
It is not necessary to be a designer to create a paradise on earth in miniature.
In search of inspiration and good examples, you can:
• find special literature on the improvement of the territory at a private house;
• watch on TV programs dedicated to the landscape design of the adjacent territory.
Finally, you can just go to the Internet to find very successful, cute solutions that can be transferred to “your own soil ”.
Designing
From which side to approach the arrangement of the adjacent territory of a private house?
This question is not idle, because many owners do not even have an idea of   where to start such large-scale work.
The answer is simple: the first mandatory stage in almost any business is the preparation of a plan, a project.
In this case, its authors take into account several factors:
• relief of the territory;
• size and configuration of the site;
• availability of buildings, sites, pedestrian zones;
• location of the house and other buildings, trees, shrubs, etc.
To a greater extent, the choice of design option depends on the relief of the adjacent territory.
Not very serious drops will give a chance to relatively "painless" and quickly level the surface.
Otherwise, serious costs cannot be avoided.
A possible way out in such a situation is the creation of terraces with the help of retaining walls, stairs, etc.
These elements are often constructed of stone (gabions) or brick.
A large house area makes it possible to make real everything that its owners want to see at home.
And on the contrary: a modest plot is a reason to choose only what is extremely necessary for the family, but in this case, the owners have several solutions.
Adjustments to the layout can make the type of soil and too high level of groundwater.
The fact is that such a problem area may require an effective drainage system.
The adjacent territory should not only please the eye, but also be functional, as convenient and “friendly ” as possible, and for all family members without exception.
Therefore, when planning a yard near a private house, they are always interested in the opinion of each household and, if possible, take into account all his wishes.
Functions of the adjacent territory
First of all, the authors need to determine exactly which zones will be more attractive to all family members.
There are several potential options.
The owners can consider the following “candidates ”:
1.
Recreation area.
Most often it is located near a natural or artificial reservoir.
There is often installed a barbecue (barbecue, grill, simple brazier, etc.).
2.
Area given to plants.
Potential residents of the site are fruit trees, berry shrubs, thermophilic crops (greenhouse) or flowers (greenhouse).
3.
Areas designed for active recreation.
Here you can rightfully include the pool (inflatable, frame, concrete, brick, block), sports and children's playground.
In order to maximize the improvement of the territory around the private house, many owners build extensions to the main building.
Some owners prefer open verandas, others - terraces.
The latter objects can be located separately, away from the house: for example, on a natural elevation.
Possible location of zones
Even in a spacious adjacent territory, there may not be enough space for everything that the owners would like to build or equip.
In this case, there are several exits:
1.
If there is a lack of space in the suburban area, then several zones can be combined.
For example, a recreation area may be located next to fruit trees.
It can turn into a dining room.
2.
Veranda, terrace - structures that by default become landscaped places, under or without a roof.
However, some functions can take on even a relatively spacious porch.
There you can arrange a small recreation area.
The third potential option is very compact functional areas.
Potential elements of improvement of the territory of a private house
There is a lot of such decor, but it should be noted only those “man-made creatures ” that can be found in almost any area:
1.
A variety of compositions and decorations from plants - flower beds, hedges, pergolas, etc.
2.
Garden paths, paths.
They can be considered as separate decorative elements, but they are also demarcators of different areas of the yard.
For their improvement, natural stones and paving slabs (paving stones), pebbles, small gravel are used.
The most short-lived option would be a path made of tree cuts.
Not very tall plants are often used to fence pedestrian zones.
Other popular elements of landscape design include arches, swings, small fountains, fences, garden furniture, ceramic products for growing plants and garden figures.
Separately, it is necessary to mention the lighting devices that transform the adjacent territory in the dark.
They help to highlight its functional areas, paths and paths.
Autonomous LED lights become an ideal illumination for plants, decorative elements, fountains and ponds.
What should be on the site plan?
When working on the layout of the territory of a private house, the sketch must note:
• all buildings on the site, including those that are attached to the building;
• capital pools, which will require laying of pipes;
• compositions of plants and stones (rock gardens, rockeries);
• natural or artificial reservoirs (ponds);
• places for planting shrubs and trees;
• garden paths and platforms;
• places for future beds.
The plan should be marked fences, lighting and decorative elements.
Design stages
A beautiful adjacent territory in the future almost guarantees an appeal to professionals.
On the other hand, only the owners can take into account every detail, create a unique ensemble, make it as convenient, unique, non-standard.
Development of a design project of a suburban area consists of several stages:
1.
First of all, the plan is applied to those objects that are already available "in real".
Then add all the elements that the owners only plan to build.
First they mark the main building, then additional buildings.
It is a bath, swimming pool, gazebo, garage, greenhouse, terrace, etc.
2.
If the recreation area does not yet exist, then the central part of the adjacent territory is more often chosen for it.
However, a large area makes it possible to arrange it at a distance from the house: for example, in the shade of trees, near the (future) reservoir, at the maximum distance from the entrance gate.
3.
After the completion of these stages, they proceed to the definition of territories that will be given for planting, and places for an artificial reservoir.
Since we are talking about flower beds, in this case it is necessary to take into account that plants need certain conditions (light or shadow, protection from strong wind, etc.).
The swimming pool will require communications.
Last of all, they are developing a lighting project for the site.
The main objects include the entrance to the house (porch, veranda, terrace), garage gate.
In addition, often illuminate decorative elements, spectacular trees, stairs and paths.
Registration of the adjacent territory of a private house
In this case, there are quite a few ways.
Without some "decorators" does not do any suburban area, others are less common.
Live jewelry
Landscaping of the adjacent territory is considered one of the most important stages of its improvement.
Different types of plants are used for it - trees and various shrubs, flowers, ornamental cereals, etc. Possible decorations of the site - numerous spectacular flower beds, hedges, lawns, etc.
The most attractive for most owners engaged in gardening of the garden are spectacular "many-sided" flower beds, elevated alpine slides and more concise, high and strict stone gardens.
When decorating the territory with plants, be sure to pay attention to the combination of their colors, the height and flowering period.
In addition, several other important features of cultures are taken into account.
This is the period of their life (annual, biennial, perennial), thermophilicity or the ability to withstand the cold in winter, as well as the requirements for the conditions for growth and development - to the place (sun, shade), watering, soil, etc.
Varieties of flower beds
There are a lot of such compositions.
Among the popular applicants:
• Alpine slides and rockeries (stone gardens);
• monoflowerbeds (one culture, the color can be different);
• monochrome flower beds (different flowers, inflorescences of the same color or one, close shade).
Other popular varieties of living decor are arabesques, borders, rabatki, mixborders and modular flower beds that require a relatively large area.
Possible green decor
In landscape design, various decorative containers are actively used - cones, cubes, vases and flowerpots.
For “life ” they are suitable:
• conifers (their dwarf varieties);
• thermophilic plants (brugmansia, camellia, citrus fruits);
• various herbs (lavender, marjoram and thyme, rosemary, savory).
Recently, vertical gardening is gaining popularity.
This is the name of a composition consisting of a supporting element and plants.
The support for such a spectacular decoration can be an arch, a fence, a grid, a wall, a column, a grid, a trellis and even a dry tree.
More often, climbing plants are used for these structures.
The same type of living decoration includes hanging compositions, for which various containers are used (vases, pipes, containers).
Potential crops for vertical gardening:
• Actinidia colomicta and grapes (Amur, maiden);
• sweet peas and caprifol (honeysuckle), clematis;
• Chinese lemongrass, nasturtium and climbing rose;
• pumpkin and beans (decorative), hops ordinary.
Plants can be annual or perennial.
The optimal solution is considered a combination of these cultures, since annuals make a variety, bloom lush, bright and relatively long.
If there is a natural or artificial reservoir on the site, then moisture-loving plants are often planted on its banks.
The frame for it can be astilba, brunner, mountain snake (snake), darmera, verbeinik, garden geranium, creeping zhivuchka, marsh kaluzhnitsa, Siberian iris, sedge, fern or host.
Organization of places for rest
It must be said that this zone is one of the most important zones that makes rest pleasant, relaxing, useful.
And in this case, the leaders of sympathy are several applicants.
Arbor
Such small but functional buildings can be open or closed.
The first structures are used only in the warm season, the second can serve the owners all year round.
Some gazebos have a rather modest size, they are designed for 5-6 people.
Other buildings can accommodate up to 18-20 vacationers.
Inside each structure there are chairs (benches) and a table.
Mangal zone
The most popular option is a protected hearth located under a canopy or in a gazebo.
However, there are also “fire zones ” left under the open sky.
To ensure the safety of holidaymakers, the space near the grill (grill, barbecue, stove) laid out non-combustible material.
To protect the floor, paving, porcelain tiles are often used, for walls - brick, clinker (terracotta) tiles, etc. As a rule, any focus is located at a considerable distance from trees and shrubs.
Water objects
Swimming pools are built or purchased for recreation on hot days.
Small reservoirs (ponds, fountains, waterfalls) give a chance to find "reservoirs" in miniature, even in areas of modest area.
They can be an ornament, but any water source can solve several problems.
Water bodies increase the humidity of the air, level (visually) not quite perfect relief, and also serve as drainage with excess moisture in the area.
Swings
This attribute of country life is no less popular.
Garden swing can be seen in almost every area.
They allow you to relax, read or sleep comfortably.
Such designs are easiest to buy, but they can be assembled with their own hands.
No doubt, on how to equip the territory around a private house, no one will tell better than someone who has been doing it for a long time.
For example, a useful and very informative guide can be the following popular video:

Content: Trellis for cucumbers with their hands: materials, types of structures and their manufacture
25.03.2021
9 min.
Cultivation
It is safe to say that without cucumbers does not do any suburban area.
Some owners grow them in greenhouses, others plant in open ground, but any plant needs to create ideal conditions and provide good care.
For these crops, the best option are supports that simplify "grooming" and increase yields.
Therefore, many owners of cottages are interested in what is a trellis for cucumbers, what materials are suitable for it, and how it can be made with your own hands.
Purpose of the construction
Cucumbers are liane-like herbaceous plants, so in the natural environment they are looking for any support.
They become neighboring shrubs and branches of trees.
However, in the suburban area, the trellis for cucumbers is the only device that makes it possible to provide the bushes with maximum light for development, and also greatly facilitates the care of them.
Most often gardeners use simple trellis, which can be both stationary and portable.
Their main task is to support cucumber shoots.
Thus, the plant can grow and develop in ideal conditions, and they guarantee the correct formation of cucumbers.
There are trellises and other tasks:
1.
The stem with this help stretches upwards, so the risk of rotting is reduced, this arrangement protects the plant from some insects, for example, from slugs.
2.
The bush receives a maximum of air and lighting, and this is the best conditions for growth and development, which certainly affects the yield of the crop.
3.
The correct location of the vine on the structure is a good chance of extending the fruiting period.
4.
Bushes that have supports and stretch upwards, greatly facilitate care - their feeding and watering.
If the trellis for cucumbers is not in the greenhouse, but on the site, then it can become a real decoration of the territory - be a hedge, an attractive decorative element.
Pros and cons of trellis
Trellis is the most common design, as it guarantees:
• uniform lighting of plants, due to which the formation of sugar in the fruits is accelerated, and it makes the taste of the fruits richer and more pleasant;
• the fastest possible evaporation of moisture from the leaves: the liquid remaining on the plants can provoke burns;
• excellent ventilation of the bush, so it does not retain moisture, which becomes the cause of the appearance of rot;
• the ability to quickly detect the disease, because the bushes and fruits can be viewed from either side;
• uniform placement of lashes on trellis, simplification of plant care;
• faster formation of ovaries and fruits;
• Simple harvest.
Cucumbers grown on trellis are almost perfect.
There is no rot on them, and pests have to try to get to the “forbidden fruit ”.
If we talk about the shortcomings, then they can be considered a greater consumption of water and fertilizers.
However, a rich harvest will make this minus insignificant.
Varieties of devices
Such designs can be purchased ready-made, they are made of plastic.
However, the trellis for cucumbers with their own hands - the operation is quite real, since the work will not take much effort, nor a large amount of time.
Materials for its assembly are likely to be found in any farm: possible candidates are wood or metal.
When choosing a model, pay attention to the area where cucumbers grow (open ground, greenhouse, greenhouse), the shape of the bed, the features of growth and development of culture.
All devices that are assembled independently can be divided into types.
Horizontal trellis
These are the simplest designs that are often chosen by novice gardeners.
It consists of supports installed at the edges of the bed, and rows of strong rope (wire) stretched between them.
The distance between them is about 300 mm.
The disadvantage of such a trellis is one: if the bushes grow above the structure, the plant begins to hang, therefore, due to the shading of some areas, uniform lighting becomes impossible.
Vertical Fixtures
Eating a few options.
The first of them is the type of trellis, which will require more material, since each bush needs its own design.
The device for cucumbers is very simple: it is a wooden or metal pole, which is simply stuck into the ground near the shrub.
The culture is tied to it with a rope or tape.
The second option is a design of two racks, which are connected by a crossbar.
It fixes cords, which are lowered to the ground and tightened.
In this case, each bush also has its own vertical support.
Trellis nets
In the factory, these structures are made of polycarbonate.
When independent work, vertical posts are used, between which a grid is pulled, the mesh sizes of which are 15x17 cm.
This distance will make it possible to pass through them cucumber tops: in this case, the garter is not needed at all, the plant will cling to the grid, and reach for the sun on its own.
The grid is sometimes replaced by wooden elements - thin slats.
In this case, the trellis turns into a decor.
Rectangular structures, huts and "wigwams"
These options do not have any special advantages over other models, except that these trellis can serve not only as a support for bushes, but also as a decor of the site.
As for the design of structures, the choice depends on the owners: some pull between the racks grid, others - horizontal or vertical threads.
Shalashi-wigwams are collected from stakes or thick branches.
To fix the structure, on top of the elements are tied with a cord or rope.
In the open field, the height of such a device should be at least 70-80 cm. Plus, the method is a nice view of the trellis.
The structure, completely enclosed by plants, resembles a real tree.
A similar structure can be made from a piece of reinforcement and ropes.
In this case, the plants are planted in a circular, a stand is driven into the center, to which cords are tied.
They are pulled to each bush, and fixed at the bottom (for example, pegs).
Round or arched trellis
Possible materials for the first designs are two bicycle rims (wheels) or hoop.
Upper element is fixed with wire on pole dug into ground.
The lower rim plays the role of a weighting agent, which provides tension of the ropes.
Arches are created from nets, from metal rods or plastic pipes.
The latter designs are more complex, since the products for this support will have to be bent.
Between them, too, tighten the grids, which are additionally fixed with the help of intermediate racks.
In this case, the designs are universal.
What is a cucumber trellis made of?
Any structure consists of a frame, on which a more convenient and reliable grid is often pulled, because it will be able to better withstand bad weather - for example, strong wind.
Construction materials
Factory models are made of polypropylene, which is not afraid of temperature changes, moisture and sunlight.
Therefore, the first option for self-manufacturing is plastic pipes.
A tree
Wood is the most popular material when it comes to the manufacture of any items on their own.
An undeniable advantage is the ease of working with lumber.
Thin slats are able to replace the grid, and such a grid will not only be a trellis, but also a decorative element.
The minus of the material is its naturalness: there are many enemies in wood, so the material must be protected as much as possible from moisture, fire, rodents and insects.
Metal
Trellis for cucumbers can be made of reinforcement.
This material is reliable and durable, however, in order to protect it from external influences as much as possible, before starting work, the elements are treated with a primer, paint with anticorrosive components, etc. The wire makes it possible to obtain a completely metal structure.
Forged products are another potential type of structures, but only the master who is well acquainted with this craft will be able to make such a trellis on his own.
On the other hand, this beautiful design will attract attention only as long as it does not hide under the plants.
Types of mesh for trellis
For plants in the open ground, this type of material is more often used.
There are a few candidates.
1.
Plastic.
These products are characterized by low weight, but at the same time strength and wear resistance.
Therefore, structures with a grid of plastic can last more than one season.
2.
Metallic.
By all characteristics, such products are superior to plastic products, since the metal is able to withstand serious loads and adverse conditions.
The disadvantages of the material are the need for regular protection with anticorrosive compounds, the high price of nets.
Trellis – trellis nets.
This option is more preferable, so it remains the most popular type.
Trellis mesh is very easily attached to any support, it can be used repeatedly.
If the length of the bed exceeds 10 m, then additional racks must be added to the design, otherwise the material will sag.
Trellis for cucumbers with their hands
The type of construction depends on what the owners plan to make the trellis - durable, or designed for only one season.
If we talk about the most popular material, then for self-assembly, the candidate is one: this is a tree that does not require a serious tool or expensive equipment.
Simple Wooden Trellis
The first step is to determine the type of construction.
Even such a simple structure requires a drawing to have an idea of the shape and quantity of materials.
The easiest way is to find a suitable design model, and then (if necessary) change its dimensions.
1.
In the corners of the beds set bars, deepening them into the ground for 700-800 mm.
Their dimensions are 40x40 or 50x50 mm.
2.
Then they retreat from the racks and add intermediate supports, but they are made less thick.
The pitch of the auxiliary elements is 150 mm.
3.
A crossbar is added to the structure, which should be located between the angular supports.
4.
Then a grid with cells of 150 mm is fixed between the posts.
All workpieces are protected from moisture before the operation begins.
To do this, you can use drying oil, processing or antiseptic impregnation.
More protection requires segments that will be underground.
Ideals for them are hot bitumen or bitumen mastic, as well as waterproofing compositions based on polyurethane, epoxy resin.
Metal construction
For the manufacture of this trellis, a reinforcing rod is suitable.
The length of the rack elements is about 2000 mm.
1.
All blanks are treated with anticorrosive composition before starting work.
2.
Racks are driven into the ground.
Then the same crossbar is fixed between them.
A welded joint will be optimal, but there is another option - binding the cross member to the supports with a wire or cable.
3.
Intermediate posts are installed between two members.
The distance between them depends on the length of the bed, the approximate value is the same 150 mm.
From the wire make a grid, the size of the cells - 150-200 mm.
An alternative to metal is a trellis plastic mesh.
Arch of the grid
There are two main ways to make such a trellis for cucumbers - simple and more complex.
1.
A simple option.
In this case, the grid is bent, then placed between the beds.
This method is suitable for not too hard products.
In order for the trellis to be fixed firmly, reinforcement is driven on the sides into the ground, to which the grid is tied with wire.
2.
A relatively complex way.
First, for reliable fixation of the grid, two narrow rectangular boxes without a bottom are assembled.
Its edges are attached to one of the walls of the "gutters", for stability - closer to the ground.
Do this with the help of hammered and bent nails.
The third potential option is the creation of an almost full-fledged “strapping ” for the arch.
Such trellis is fixed on internal surfaces of structure.
Trellis - "clamshell"
This trellis for cucumbers also will not create insurmountable difficulties in the manufacture.
After the end of the season, it can be folded and removed: it does not require much storage space.
Since this product is no longer called elementary, you first need to purchase or find:
• timber (35x35 or 40x40 mm);
• clothesline;
• 2 bolts with nuts;
• slats (20x30 mm);
• self-tapping screws;
• paint.
The first step is to prepare all the details.
These are 4 supporting elements and 8 crossbars.
The length of the posts of this design is 1220 mm, the crossbar is 815 mm.
However, for cucumbers, the first parameter is recommended to increase to 1500 mm.
It is believed that such a height guarantees the most convenient harvest.
In this case, the number of crossbars also needs to be increased.
1.
Bolt connection hole is drilled in upper part of each support member.
2.
Then blanks for crossbars are cut, in which shallow notches are made for tying ropes.
3.
All prepared elements are painted.
Apply several layers of paint, each of them should be completely dry.
4.
Crossbars are fixed on posts by screws.
Both assembled elements are connected by means of bolts and nuts.
The last stage of the operation "Trellis for cucumbers with your own hands" is pulling and tying the ropes on the grooves made.
This design can be used to grow any plants that need support.
Its main advantage is the possibility of simple height adjustment.
Construction of bicycle rims
This option trellis for cucumbers is chosen in the event that the place on the site (in the greenhouse) is very limited.
For its manufacture are found:
• reinforcement bar, its length is 2200 mm;
• two bicycle rims;
• steel wire;
• scissors and knife;
• cord (twine);
• hammer;
• shovel.
First, the rims get rid of the spokes.
Some of them leave, or release only one element - the one that is designed for the lower part of the trellis.
1.
In the center of the future bed dig a hole with a depth of about 300 mm.
2.
Then a reinforcing rod is driven into it, approximately to the same depth.
The pit is covered with soil and carefully rammed.
Heavy stones are placed around the rack for reliability.
3.
The lower rim is put on the reinforcement, which is laid on the ground.
Upper element is fixed on rod by means of wire threaded into holes for spokes.
It is fixed, several times wrapping around the reinforcement.
The cord is cut into segments, the length of which is twice as long as that of the support.
Start with the top element.
They are threaded into the holes for the spokes, then pulled to the lower element, where they are also passed through the holes, then again pulled to the upper rim, where the ropes are tied with a knot (or, conversely, from the lower to the upper).
Other ideas for trellis
The easiest option is to use old, but strong objects.
For example, an old ladder can turn into a trellis for cucumbers.
In this case, the owners will only have to pull the ropes or fix the grid.
The second potential candidate is pallets, which collect everything you can think of.
It is said that on two pallets installed at an angle to each other, the plants also feel great.
Grates made of strong wire and / or wooden slats are options that can be considered if the beds are close to the fence, from any structure.
In this case, the gardeners will only have to tie the plants.
How to tie a plant?
Without a garter, the plant will not be able to climb the trellis to a large height, since the antennae will break under the weight of the whip and fruits.
Strong winds can also contribute to their damage.
To prevent any trouble, use materials that are required:
• elasticity;
• Inability to absorb water;
• the most gentle attitude to the plant.
For example, suitable options would be synthetic ropes and plastic adjustable clamps.
Tying plants begin when the bushes reach a height of about 300 mm.
A sliding knot is made under the lowest sheet.
Between the rope and the stem leave enough space for its thickening.
The stem is tied in several convenient places, the nodes are made under the rosettes of the leaves.
When the bush reaches the top of the trellis, it is tied to it.
Trellis for cucumbers with their hands - an operation that can not be called difficult work.

Trellis for cucumbers

Green wall structures can be made of materials like wood, stakes, and branches.

Green wall structures can be made of various materials, including wooden bars, metal construction, and protective coatings such as drying oil, antiseptic impregnation, hot bitumen, and waterproofing compositions.
