It would to see what it is like in 6 months.

@nathtalal 3 месяца назад

It really would.

@pascalhibon7928 3 месяца назад

Same here, very curious about that. What kind of plants did you use; these are not one year plants? And I guess you'll need to add food for the plants over time?

@fredjones4163 3 месяца назад

Me too, would love a couple of updates over time. Great job, looks really good.

@billywhizz98 3 месяца назад

I would be weary of it causing damp

@iainamurray 3 месяца назад

It will be winter, so unlikely to be flowering

@richpeas1924 3 месяца назад

I'm always amazed at peoples DIY capabilities compared to mine. I have a garage, I have tools that I keep buying, but zero DIY skills 🤷‍♂️ so I live my DIY through other people & now it's time for a cup of tea & some cake after building that living wall 🛠

@nialstewart8263 3 месяца назад

Go and make something 👍

@tureq85 3 месяца назад

exactly, that’s how you learn, start with little projects, watch couple of YT videos beforehand, take only good bits in and that’s how you get experience. remember, DIY is all about experience

@ProperDIY 3 месяца назад

@johnhill3483 3 месяца назад

It’s more than alright Stuart, we’ll need an update in a month or 6 weeks it should look fantastic!

@ImOnAJourney 2 месяца назад

Wow! I’d like to see how this looks over the next few months. You could add in fall plants and Christmas/winter decorations as the seasons pass - if you wanted to climb the ladder another 40 times in next few months 😊

@Barrysautospares 3 месяца назад

I’m so glad you painted that added stringer by the end of the video. My OCD was pinging!

@xanderdixon3688 3 месяца назад

That looks like it will be really nice when it all gets established

@NorthernMonkeeUK 2 месяца назад

Bought the same -toy- tool myself on the same offer as you, and as you say it's a god send, much more -fun- faster than manual nailing or screwing.

@geoffm9944 3 месяца назад

A well constructed and ingenious piece of outside decorative wooden plant frame. You should be congratulated for taking an idea and then making a stunning frame for flowers and plants.

@bobs4738 2 месяца назад

Great job there. To make it a bit 'greener' you could have installed a water butt to the garage gutter downpipe and used an Irrigatia Solar powered Automatic Plant Watering System fed from the water butt. Plants love real rainwater.

@tomelliott90 3 месяца назад

Making it look effortless as always. Really enjoy your build videos.

@pbarnfield 2 месяца назад

Pretty blood good that Stuart!! I've literally just ordered some hanging bags for my south facing wall to try my hand at growing strawberries and some herbs. If it goes well I might construct something similar using the membrane sheeting as that will work wonders I think. I hate gardening and plants, but as I get older I think I'm changing..... 🤣

@Mc674bo 3 месяца назад

Very impressive Stuart , and using the fabric as the actual soil container is a stroke of genius . Not having to make lots of boxes which would have increased the weight, is a game changer . I’m definitely a fan of the black jack product, and know it will protect your project for many years to come . 👍

@OrganizeCreateDecorate 2 месяца назад

What an amazing idea and build. It looks amazing! Please share again when the flowers fill out.

@andygardiner6526 2 месяца назад

We drove past a house today which the other half described as having "a thing on the end shaped like a house, sort of like a huge shelving unit full of plants!" Guessing it could be only one person's house, I showed her this video and I was right! She says it's looking great with all the plants now established. Unfortunately much of the discussion on the way home involved whether she could do similar on her house - thanks for that! 🙂

@Rob5ft19in 2 месяца назад

I'm so glad I came across your channel when i was researching green walls, Stuart! Just built a 2.5 x 1.75m version of this with a few of my own touches. Since then, I've pretty much watched every one of your videos- I find them so relaxing!!

@andyc972 3 месяца назад

Great project Stuart, I hope you are going to give us an update in a few weeks to show us how it's filled out, I'm sure it'll look beautiful ! Glad to hear you're continuing to entertain the neighbours with your antics ! 😉 Nice new toy, I mean tool btw !

@ProperDIY 3 месяца назад

Absolutely

@nickdawson9270 3 месяца назад

Pre-fabricating in sections is a useful tip. I have my doubts about cost and ease of maintenance year on year having never had much success with hanging baskets.

@smoggydrones5664 3 месяца назад

@@nickdawson9270 the biggest tip I can give about hanging baskets is mix in water gel and water as often as you can

@philquinn6375 3 месяца назад

As usual another great video, well explained and a good start to a Sunday morning, thanks Stuart. 👍🏼

@richardphillips3303 2 месяца назад

Will be fun to see how many birds build nests or how many squirrels bury nuts!

@RiBenjafield 2 месяца назад

Loved this video as it combines my love of gardening and chopping up bits of wood and sticking them back together again. It looks fantastic and will be beautiful once established. That nail gun looked like fun as well!

@Lutzboater 3 месяца назад

That is an impressive build. Looking forward to an update as the flowers and plants get established.

@spongefactory 2 месяца назад

Hah, I just bought the very same nailer for a shed project, also picked up a free battery. It's a great bit of kit. I think we have pretty much the same tools - Sheppach cement mixer and whacker plate (Aldi) and many others.

@jim_jim1674 3 месяца назад

That naill gun is a luxury.

@projectrebuild908 2 месяца назад

That looks class. That will be dead smart once it is established

@jameslennon5330 3 месяца назад

Great job Stuart, looks really well. It would be nice to see it when the plants are established

@barryroberts6470 3 месяца назад

That looks amazing and i bet it'll look twice as amazing when it fills out, and i bet the neighbours curtains are twitching even more now. Nicely done. Barry (the Wirral)

@bluecurlygirl 3 месяца назад

Great job. Looks fab already. No doubt we'll be seeing it again in a future video somewhere when it's all filled out a bit. Well done.

@IgnatiusZaaijman 3 месяца назад

Great stuff Stuart! And there's still room for expansion!

@martinhunt6004 3 месяца назад

@jasonmoncrieff7449 3 месяца назад

Super concept and a well executed job, Stuart. Mrs Matthews is bound to be happy, and this justifies your new purchase 😉

@nialstewart8263 3 месяца назад

Think how much that would have cost if you paid someone to build it. Makes the nail gun look cheap. 😁

@andreashenning7094 3 месяца назад

”eh, fast, not fun, it´s a tool˚ 😃 That´s how I trick my wallet as well. While that nail gun is way out of my reach, my project motto is: ”There is no project small enough to not warrant a new battery powered tool” Great video, looking forward to a followup in late August!

@DMUSA536 3 месяца назад

I’m always intrigued by your knowledge. I may not build one, but some of the processes you used can come in handy with other projects. I like how you can convert meters to feet.

@williamparker3765 3 месяца назад

@stephen-boddy 3 месяца назад

The flaw I see is that the compost is going to quickly wash out of the sides of the pouch folds as the daily watering happens, and wash down the sides leaving the plant roots exposed.

@StevenMurray-mt7om 3 месяца назад

Hi Stuart…. Looks absolutely brilliant… lot of work though but it’ll be worth it once all the plants get established 👍

@rambo196919 3 месяца назад

@meta.aesthetica 3 месяца назад

Definitely need to do an update video next year!

@Johnjoe321 3 месяца назад

Great thing is that in a few years time if you want to tip out the compost it will be so easy. I think I’ll try similar but with long trough planters that you could pop in and out for colour.

@c.a.g.1977 3 месяца назад

Very well done Stuart! This project is both cool ánd lovely! Love how the angles are the same as the roof. It really brightens up that garage wall.

@iangarland7707 2 месяца назад

Great build and planting scheme. Did you not consider just planting some climbers for a permanent solution without the need to water? You could have put a wisteria, climbing rose, passion flower, vine etc? I’ve put roses and wisteria against my timber clad garage and they never need watering and achieve a green wall without need for a watering system or all that framing…

@awt 3 месяца назад

Stuart, I would really appreciate it if you could do a video about choosing nailers. There are so many different types, it's unclear to me which one to buy because they all seem either stupidly big (like yours!) or stupidly small (basically, upholstery ones). Thanks!

@simonmiddleton4977 3 месяца назад

I was watching thinking have I missed a video, where has that nail gun come from? And then you explained that Father Christmas hadn’t brought you what you wanted so you had to treat yourself as we do 😂 Big project and I’d think quite a lot to built but excellently executed as always. 😃👍

@DownThereForDancing 3 месяца назад

When he mentioned the conduit coming out the ground I thought he would shift the whole frame away from the wall with some spacer blocks which would also fix the issues you mentioned

@johnsonjohnson4725 Месяц назад

In our area we’d be worried about the “M”s- moisture, mold, ‘mites (subterranean termites). I’d definitely want done type of ventilation /airflow between the wall & the garage. Maybe an aluminum grid of some kind.

@ProperDIY 3 месяца назад

@Brownie-956 2 месяца назад

Looks great. Tempted to make one for myself. Was there a reason you didn't go the full width and height of the garage so the whole wall was covered? Or was that just for cost and asthetics?
