Why Get Artificial Green Walls for Your Outdoor Entertaining Spaces

While primping our outdoor spaces, we’re also thinking of the best way to decorate said spaces to get the most out of our events.

Al fresco dining and summer barbies are much more memorable in a well-decorated space. And a good way to have nice decor is to get artificial green walls for outdoor entertaining.

Trust us, it’s one of the best ways to enjoy an evergreen, low-maintenance outdoor space.

Ready to find out why?

Let’s get into it.

5 Reasons to Get Faux Green Walls for Outdoor Entertaining Spaces

When the weather works with us, especially during the warm season, we naturally lean toward outdoor entertaining. But with hosting comes a bevy of other considerations you need to take such as:

• How will you decorate?
• What will you use to decorate?
• How much is your decorating budget?
• Can you reuse your decor for another event?

Soon enough, the list of options will start shrinking and your enthusiasm may dwindle. But if artificial green walls are one option for your space, we’ve got 5 reasons why they’re a great idea that can serve you for a long time.

A unique backdrop

Enveloping your outdoor entertainment area with an artificial green wall will give you a unique backdrop not many of your guests have seen. As a result, not many will be able to ignore it.

While we’re seeing a rise in the use of outdoor artificial green walls across Australia, this decor option is still relatively new, and thus, attention-grabbing.

What’s more, if you hang your faux green walls on an existing fence that still leaves room for peeping Toms, you’ll notice that the dense fauxliege will obstruct all the views into your space. So, you and your guests can enjoy a beautifully decorated al fresco spot without looking over your shoulder.

Low maintenance

While you might think a real green wall or hedge can do the same thing, it’s true. But, they’ll come with a caveat: upkeep. The artificial green walls in our collection are made to mimic natural foliage as closely as possible while eliminating the maintenance needed to sustain them.

So, while you can have a real vertical garden to provide the same aesthetic benefits, you’ll have to invest more time and money into its maintenance. On the other hand, artificial garden walls don’t need any watering, trimming, pruning, or pest control.

Since they don’t wilt and shed leaves, you won’t have to sweep the ground every few days and check the leaves for browning.

Instead, all your fake vertical garden will need is a quick and easy wipe-down once every few months.

Durable and reusable

Artificial green walls from reputable manufacturers are made with longevity in mind. Before we list our faux green walls for sale, they go through rounds of rigorous testing.

We send our panels to certified labs to ensure they contain the right blend of materials that isn’t toxic to people or pets. Then, we see whether these panels can bear changing weather and extreme conditions so that we know where to use them.

This testing has allowed us to gain enough confidence in our products to offer a 5-year warranty for outdoor artificial green walls and assuredly tell you they’ll last even longer. This durability means you can use your faux garden wall panels for seasons of hosting, not just this once.

Plus, if you to get tired of your panel, you can send it back to us so we can recycle it through our program.

UV-resistant and sturdy

When shopping for outdoor artificial green walls or plants, consider whether the panel is UV-resistant and can handle sitting out in the sun without fading. If it does, you’ll be sure this product won’t crack or turn a weird bluish colour in a few months.

If you shop at Designer Plants, you’ll have this information on each product page. If the panels are suitable for outdoor use, you’ll see this in the bar right below the product photo:

And if they’re designed for indoor use, you won’t find this icon.

UV resistance is a crucial aspect of your artificial foliage, as the point of buying these panels is to get the essence of nature without many of the drawbacks. As an extra layer of protection, you can also use a UV spray once a month.

Customisable and easy to install

Getting a DIY-friendly artificial green wall for outdoor spaces means you don’t have to call on a crew of builders to get your decor done. Our faux vertical garden panels are easy to install on any surface because we’ve made sure they’re hassle-free before, during, and after installation.

Our team has written up a detailed installation guide to help you through your project, and we’re only a call away if you need additional help.

Upon installation, you can change the appearance of your artificial living wall panels by customising them, i.e., adding artificial flower stems, hanging string lights, or even cutting the panels into another shape. This way, you’ll have an artificial green wall that’s as adaptable as a chameleon and can contribute to any outdoor setting.
