Greek rooftop garden, Kfar Saba
Rina and Zvika came to us to replace a row of faded 50 × 50 containers in which, because of their size, the trees had not grown as they could.
We filled the terrace with tall retro containers (60 cm), ovals and rounds for the corners, in a Mediterranean blue. And Zvika, who is good with his hands, treated his granddaughters to a greenhouse of his own making in the low containers (30 cm), where he grows vegetables and herbs with them for the whole family.
Questions and answers
Are the planters too heavy, and could they endanger the load limits?
Once the plan is made, consult a structural engineer about how the container's weight is spread on a suspended or built balcony.
Because Zvika is a safety consultant by profession, we gave him all the gross weights including fill; they were calculated per square metre, and so he could easily approve the loads on the terrace.
How is a balcony planned?
Contact us to set a meeting and send photos and the plan of the home; a simple sketch with estimated measurements and compass directions will also do. We then prepare a drawing for your approval, with visualisations if needed.
