People generally want to see green colors and it is believed that the green color represents nature and life but for some, it would be difficult to find real grass which is hard to care for. Therefore, it is generally agreed today that the balcony artificial grass has been used in the balconies as much as in the terrace and patio. By far, they are installed for gardens and backyards. There will be detailed information concerning artificial grass and the aspect of decorative purposes for balconies.
Main Materials
First of all, artificial grass, the materials of which are made of polypropylene, polyethylene, polyamide, and nylon have been manufactured for half of the century. There are even different strains of these grasses that are mostly used, in public areas such as football, running fields, and private places, for instance, the walkway for the home gardens. They are fibrillated grass and monofilament grass.
Points to Consider
Second, there is some striking point of the synthetic grasses. There will be all sorts of colors on the market. The red one or the brown one could be evaluated as a balcony doormat. We recommend you purchase the green one. Even if it is a synthetic one, it will be looking like an original grass on your balcony. Meanwhile, not only are they used for decorative purposes but also they are health and security-oriented. In other words, they are nonflammable and anti-bacterial.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Third, there are a few advantages and disadvantages to having a balcony artificial grass floor. In consideration of the appearance, synthetic turfs generally are aesthetic. Besides, it is easy to maintain its grass surface. There are three things that all you have to do is respectively to brush the grass regularly, pick up the leaves and watch the extreme heats.
Some Extra Accessories
Among other things, I would like to indicate the use of artificial lawns on balconies. I cannot just imagine the full grass floor. So I spotted two different use. You may want to adorn it with colorful stones. The planter or the flower stand could be put on the stones. In the picture below, you can see white stones on the screen to give you an idea.
The second use is the synthetic turf which shares the balcony floor with the portable runnen decks. Using the balcony %50-%50 may be a great idea because it doesn’t have to be turned into a garden. You could use the runnen deck side as a cafe where the adults speak with each other. You can evaluate the other grass side like a cat balcony or perhaps a small playing place for kids.
Once you laid successfully the artificial lawn onto the balcony floor, all of the decorative pieces of stuff go with that. To illustrate, hanging plant baskets, wooden crates, and ladder planters could team up with your turf. Plus, you can make a little golf course if you have a long balcony. Now, there is the possibility to look at the same gloomy concrete without decorating. However, you could get a chance of having such a balcony garden. Of course, the choice is always yours.
