It would to see what it is like in 6 months.
It really would.
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?
Me too, would love a couple of updates over time. Great job, looks really good.
I would be weary of it causing damp
It will be winter, so unlikely to be flowering
Love to see that when it's filled out a little. Fabulous build, and your lucky neighbours get to look at it!
Glad you like it!
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 🛠
Go and make something 👍
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
As Dainer made would say, just get started.
Same
😂😂
It’s more than alright Stuart, we’ll need an update in a month or 6 weeks it should look fantastic!
That looks like it will be really nice when it all gets established
Making it look effortless as always. Really enjoy your build videos.
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 . 👍
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.
I’m so glad you painted that added stringer by the end of the video. My OCD was pinging!
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 !
Absolutely
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.
Love this! You are very creative and talented.
That's going to look fantastic 😊
Hope so!
As usual another great video, well explained and a good start to a Sunday morning, thanks Stuart. 👍🏼
That naill gun is a luxury.
”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!
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..... 🤣
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!
This is SO amazing, thank you for sharing!
That's going to look stunning once it's established! Thanks Stuart for sharing 👍 😊
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.
@@nickdawson9270 the biggest tip I can give about hanging baskets is mix in water gel and water as often as you can
Impressive. I'm glad I subscribed. I can't wait to see how it looks
I love it, wish i had the space to build one
Looks great Stuart. Can't wait to see it matured
That is a brilliant project!
That is an impressive build. Looking forward to an update as the flowers and plants get established.
Great stuff Stuart! And there's still room for expansion!
Super concept and a well executed job, Stuart. Mrs Matthews is bound to be happy, and this justifies your new purchase 😉
Think how much that would have cost if you paid someone to build it. Makes the nail gun look cheap. 😁
Great job Stuart, looks really well. It would be nice to see it when the plants are established
Great Idea Stewart, can't wait to see it when fully established, one of your best ideas, well done
Great project!
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.
Great idea. I had a similar problem. I fitted large vintage metal automotive/ oil company signs to my barn side and yes x3 hanging baskets!
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.
Excellent project idea, thank you.
Definitely need to do an update video next year!
Brilliant Stuart
Smart design and smart working. It will last years that 👌
I watch all your videos, mate, and I love the thought you put into all your projects. Good work, keep it up 👍
Fairplay that is absolutely amazing looks great another fantastic project
That looks class. That will be dead smart once it is established
Fabulous build
Fantastic job, well done 🎉
very nice indeed
Love the nailer !! I justify buying any tools as DIY you save labour charges. Paying someone to do that wall would be £400 anyway in labour. Next job you use nailer it’s “free”
Ok, now I need to subscribe to see the follow up video next year
That's realy lovely.
Nice! I just need a garage..
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.
Glad you like it!
Wow absolutely stunning Sir.. Bravo and keep er lit
Love it!!
That looks superb… great work as usual!
Thank you! Cheers!
Can’t wait to see the 3 month update
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.
Surprised didnt go dewalt given you already use that platform of tools...
Looks nice,good job.
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)
Nice one stewart,another great invention
Thanks 👍
I love it!
Hi Stuart…. Looks absolutely brilliant… lot of work though but it’ll be worth it once all the plants get established 👍
Very nice.
If anyone doesnt have the same aize wall or the diy skills, you xlcan also use reclaimed pallets for the same thing like we have :)
Brilliant video, well done great job👍👍💯 you are an inspiration 👍
its so pretty. Sadly, here in London, I'd wake up to zero plants left. And my water timer also liberated.
Excellent 👍 top job fella.. fantastic video
Hi Stuart. Great video again mate, must correct you though as an owner, the nail guns capacity of nail is 90mm. 😊
Very interesting.👏👍
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.
I need to "borrow" you and your Skills! 😊 Awesome! ❤
You can do it!
Ah Stu it would have been great to see some b roll of your other green wall for comparison of how it fills out! Love your work bud
Great idea
I bloody love bitumastic paint. 🙂
Absolutely fantastic build in the end!
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…
Thats amazing, be great to see a future photo/video when its in bloom 🌻
Dont know where its located, but its a Hanging Gardens of-somewhere. Think you have nosey neighbours twitching curtains, lucky for them when you can fix anything...Down my way there are some verticial fruit, veg and flower growing companies. ! 1 grows cannabis plants.(legally) phew.
Thanks for doing the vlogs.
Nice project,we enjoy your channel. Does your wife enjoy gardening as well ?
Excellent chief , was wondering what to do with my recently rendered back yard wall , this could just be the answer . Cheers 👊
Glad to help
It could be adapted to grow herbs etc too in a small yard.
i hope you're also using Brawndo, cus it gives plants the electrolytes they crave ;)
What about dampness to the brick wall? No air or sun to dry it out!
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
A very ambitious project. Can you show it in a few months. Great idea
Great job Stuart. If you're not careful B&Q or Wickes may steal your idea!
That was such a beautiful brick wall I felt sad to see it covered.
I think you will need to replant the wall with more suitable plants for green walls. This selection will result in much work for you.
It would have been interesting to grow vegetables & fruits .
A green wall is lovely in an atrium.
😻
Absolutely beautiful project.
But I would not have put the geraniums right at the top, since they have to be deadheaded regularly.
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!
You make it look easy but i know its hard work. How long did it actually take to make? Love your videos... I am learning loads. 😊
Thank you good sir, you are my source for any work I may do around the house. May I kindly ask for some videos on re-pointing, types of mortar, tools, etc. And using Emperor weather shielding cleaner and creme. Cheers.
Looks really lovely. My only concern would be the cost. All bedding plants? Not cheap...🤔
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. 😃👍
That nailer is totally for fun, don't pretend like it's a "tool"
Stuart, that's a brilliant project. Love it!
I will look to mimic something like that on a mini-wall in my garden.
Can you share a link to the BlackJack bitumen paint, please? Is there one suitable for timber?
That's a great build!
What do you do in the winter months? Do any of your plants bloom in winter or is this an annual replant?
That looks absolutely amazing, did you use bedding plants or did you choose plants that would come back every year?
I think I'd like to know how you worked out the angles of the timber from the pitch of the roof. :-)
Great project!
How about a rolling library ladder for access to top shelves of frame?
That would be cool
That Hikoki nail framer does seem a mixture of speed and fun. I see at B&Q it's £456 with 2 batteries.
Might be worth hiring one of those nail guns just for a weekend.
A nice project Stuart, good work as ever. What are you expecting in terms of plant maintenance - do you envisage revisiting it regularly to keep the plants tidy and swapping out the dead ones? And how about over winter?
Great project Stuart, the bottom looked a little bare what plans have you got for the base maybe some small bushes in long planters?
That's the plan!
bet the neighbours thought you were going through your gothic phase when they saw that black framing going up on the wall 😂
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?
will those plants flower each year? i like plants in my gadrn but always get the ones i replace each year, wouldnt mind some that i can just leave in. great wall!, its given me and idea for the wall under my front bay window.
Please show an update in a future video!
