1, bamboo flower rack
Bamboo and wood are all natural materials, and flower stands made of them generally retain the original color and texture of bamboo and wood, which looks very natural and simple. Moreover, the processing of these two materials is relatively simple, and they can be made into large garden flower racks or small indoor flower racks as needed. There are also many changes in shape, such as columns, corridors, overhangs, steps and so on. The durability of bamboo and wood materials is poor. Generally, bamboo and wood flower stands placed in courtyards or other indoor places must be treated with anti-corrosion, otherwise they will rot easily in water and affect their use.
2. stone flower rack
Flower stands made of marble, granite and other stone materials are generally located in the courtyard. With large-scale design such as verandas and columns, supplemented by vines, it has become a cool and leisure place in the courtyard and one of the elements of the courtyard landscape. In addition, the stone flower rack is thick and durable, with good waterproof and fireproof performance, and there will be no problems such as decay. However, due to the large volume of stone, inconvenient transportation and difficult processing, natural stone is often used in the design of frame columns of large courtyard flower racks to increase the stability and durability of flower racks.
3. Metal flower stand
There are many kinds of metals, most of which are light and durable, so they are often used as raw materials for flower stands. Among metal flower stands, wrought iron flower stands are the most common, generally used as indoor flower stands, with beautiful appearance, small weight and flexibility. Of course, wrought iron flower stands can also be placed outdoors to decorate the courtyard. However, because the metal absorbs heat, the wrought iron flower stand with direct sunlight is not suitable for placing climbing plants, so as not to damage the young leaves. In addition, most metals are easy to rust and corrode, so the surface needs to be protected with paint.
4, concrete flower frame
The flower stands made of reinforced concrete are generally bulky and cannot be moved, so they are mostly used as outdoor flower stands, which can be designed as cylindrical or arch, with changeable shapes and durability. Of course, this kind of flower stand can also prefabricate components in advance according to the demand, and then assemble these flower stand components on site to form a complete and firm flower stand. Reinforced concrete flower stands are widely used, and they are also the most frequently used in garden flower stands at present.
5, plastic flower stand
Plastics are generally made of synthetic resin as the main raw material and some other auxiliary materials and additives. They can be made into various shapes according to requirements and have strong plasticity, so they are generally used to make flower stands or flowerpots. Plastic flower stands are generally small in size, but they can be used as terrace flower stands because of their various shapes and certain corrosion resistance. However, compared with the above flower stands, the environmental protection performance of plastic flower stands is relatively poor.
Second, the balcony flower shelf purchase skills
1. Choose the size of the flower stand according to the spatial pattern.
Flower stands come in different specifications and sizes. Consumers should determine the placement position and space of flower racks before buying, and then choose a flower rack with appropriate size.
2, according to the need to choose flowers.
The flower stand is made of wood, iron, root carving and other different materials. When consumers buy, they can choose flower stands of different materials according to factors such as potted plants and indoor decoration. Generally speaking, wrought iron flower stands emphasize European style and wooden flower stands emphasize pastoral style, but they are carefully distinguished according to their different shapes and colors. The selected flower stand should be consistent with the overall style of furniture to achieve harmony and unity. There are many colors of flower stands, and the choice should be matched with the overall color of the home. For example, most of the soft clothes at home are warm, and the flower stands should also be matched with the same color.
3. Choose different flower stands according to the installation form.
There are two installation methods of flower stands: movable and wall-mounted. If it is to be installed on the wall, you can choose the wall-mounted type, if it is placed on the balcony, you can choose the movable type. If you are planting plants such as chlorophytum, you can choose a wall-mounted flower stand, which looks more suitable. If it is a potted plant, you can choose to move the flower stand.
Third, the balcony flower rack tips
Balcony flower stands are generally installed on balcony railings. In order to make use of space, they all extend to the outside of the balcony, so only one side leaning against the balcony railing is the key point, and lead wires are hung on the other side extending out of the balcony. For the sake of safety, it is better to support it under the part of the flower stand protruding from the balcony, which is more firm, safe and reliable. The three sides of the flower stand protruding from the balcony should be made of steel bars or wooden boards with a height of about 15 cm to prevent the flowerpot from falling. Some flower stands on the balcony are not covered. When hanging clothes on the balcony or engaging in other household activities, flowerpots are easily knocked off carelessly, and injuries are also heard from time to time. This must attract the attention of the flower growers on the balcony.
