How to Beautify Your Yard with Planters

Is your yard, courtyard or balcony starting to look a little bland? Spice things up with a few choice planters!

Planters are ideal because they require minimal effort to install and are no-fuss when it comes to your plant’s upkeep. Plus, you can utilize them to create some pretty innovative backyard feature pieces.

Succulent your way to success!

Succulents are trending among green thumbs, and not just because they’re near impossible to kill! They come in so many truly unique shapes and colours, and when mismatched together, create captivating feature pieces for your garden. We love these haphazard displays of chaotic colour. Get the look by investing in large, round planters.

Create a magical fairy house

This one’s pretty popular with the kids. Everyone loves a little fairy house in the garden! Why not make your planter the home of a fluttery friend? It’s a great project for the school holidays and will jazz up your pot plants in no time. Choose a round plastic planter, all the better to hot glue your favourite stones and twigs onto.

Thinking vertically

For anyone working with limited space, thinking vertically with your planters is essential! It might require a bit of repurposing of scrap wood, or thrifting your way through the charity shop to find the right ladder, but your proud handiwork will produce even more fulfilling results! Try using plastic planters so that when one plant’s runoff drips into the one below, it won’t rot the planter as a wooden version might.

A Life Aquatic

Why limit yourself to soil when you can use your planter as a water feature? One of our nifty customers made a delightful water garden out of one of our round planters. Plastic planters are ideal for water features as they won’t rot or rust. If you’re looking for pretty floating plants to add some colour to your tiny pond, you can’t go past waterlillies. However, there are also some lovely floating ferns that will add texture, such as azolla or water lettuces.

Make Your Concept Ideas a Reality With Rotational Moulding

Do you have an idea for a product that’s been keeping you up at night? If your idea is begging you to be turned into a physical object, you should consider the benefits of using rotational moulding in the manufacturing process. Not only that, think about the clear advantages of using plastic as your material of choice.

Design

First thing’s first – designing your product and pondering on its capabilities. Does your product need to be sturdy, strong, long-lasting and weather resistant? Designing your product with plastic in mind will open up a whole new realm of possibilities. Did you know that plastic products can be made so light that even massive agricultural equipment, such as this bunded trough, can be moved by just a single person?

Good design can minimise or completely eliminate a problem that you’ve experienced with an existing product that has severe design flaws. In many cases, redesigning an existing product with plastic has saved businesses both time and money. Take this toolbox Global designed with Booth Transport, for instance. Their previous toolbox was made of steel and would rust quickly from hose leakages. Plastic, however, proved to be just as sturdy, and would not rust. As a result, Booth Transport’s new plastic toolboxes have a much, much longer lifespan now!

Mould creation

If you decide that the best way to manufacture your product is through the use of a mould, you’ll be needing one that’s extremely precise. This will ensure that the replication of your product is top notch every single time. Another way to ensure the consistency of your product is to use the rotational moulding method. This method expertly controls the thickness of your product so that it is both lightweight but super strong! Don’t believe us? Check out this plastic trailer we made with Trailers2000 – it’s practically indestructible!

Manufacturing

If you’re after precision manufacturing for your product, then you won’t go past a company that is ISO 9001:2015 standard certified. This standard ensures a quality of service, which extends to complete quality of product. If your product relies on exact measurements and assembling, you can trust that Global have a keen eye for detail. We’ve manufactured products with many versatile parts such as the AquaPro. This commercial, underground water storage system was designed so that parts can be reconfigured for optimum installation in tight places, without having to recreate new moulds every time.
