Creating a Landscape Container out of Concrete [Great for Penjing or bonsai forests]

Most bonsai pots are fairly traditional in shape and size. So what to do when you have the need for a large landscape container for a forest or penjin planting, and perhaps even a cliff or rock? Make one yourself of course!
There are many approaches to doing this. Some will use composite plastics or thermal plastics and fiberglass hulls. In this video I will use a concrete base over a steel frame.
Main ingredient is outdoor tile glue, and outdoor Grout with an additive to make it water resistant (normally used in concrete/cement for basement construction).
Step by step explanation on how I do this.

Awesome project Jelle. Your hands tell exactly how sharp that wire mesh is. Very cool the way you broke down why you built it the way you did. Thank you for sharing!

Hay Jele ziet er erg mooi uit je gebruikt rvs gaas met tegelvoeg materiaal op kleur ook een kunststof gaas voor het snijden van het gaas kan je ook een zinkschaar gebruiken en aanbrengen van de tegelvoeg kan je er ook opspuiten bedankt voor het delen gr William

Have you tried hypertufa? Basically adding perlite and/or coconut coir to the cement mixture. The perlite will add beneficial aspects to the medium. Give it a search. Cheers!

Oh, wow, I'm loving these shapes. I've never seen anything like it; it is absolutely fantastic. What was the material you added to make the cement waterproof? Because the small mesh is so stiff and prone to cutting fingers, have you ever tried filling the holes of the largest mesh with something like papier-mâché before adding the concrete?
@GrowingBonsai
@GrowingBonsai Год назад
Not sure what it is called. It is a material that is added to cement to really make it waterclosed. It is used in concrete for basements here.
@GrowingBonsai
@GrowingBonsai Год назад
re. paper mache.. Feels like that would be prone to trouble once it gets wet & frozen?
@abydosianchulac2
@abydosianchulac2 Год назад
If it's fully enclosed by the waterproof cement, there shouldn't be an issue with freezing and expansion. If there are still occasional gaps in coverage, then yes I suppose you're right.

You mention, "can find in any garden centre". In my country you cannot find cement at any garden centre. And when I ask them what pots are made of, they cannot tell me. So I Google a lot, and watch RU-vid. It seems I will have to learn over here by trial and error. I will have to try different cements, and see what works. Even I our building material stores I struggle to find the right advice.

Great work Jelle, it looks awesome! I saw that you cut yourself quite a bit. Around our area in hardware stores you can find aluminum mesh (it comes in big rolls and is usually around 30€, but you get like 50 times the mesh compared to what you used). The aluminum mesh isn’t as sharp, it isn’t as stable either but it is way finer. You can really shape it well without hurting yourself and it catches the cement very well, I’ve tried it!
@GrowingBonsai
@GrowingBonsai Год назад
Sounds like great stuff! Here you can also get other materials, but metal on a roll, I do not think I have come across it. Great tip, thx!
