What Are Artificial Hedges and Why Do You Need Them?
Artificial hedges are a lifelike imitation of natural hedges. Theyre an ingenious solution for infusing some greenery into a space without needing to read a tome on hedge maintenance.
Faux hedges contain various high-quality synthetic materials designed and crafted to mimic the appearance of real plants. They capture all the detailing and veining of real leaves and imitate the intricacies of the branches.
Sounds great, but whats in it for you?
Well, installing artificial hedges will bring nature closer to you without many maintenance demands. So, you wont have to worry about watering, pruning, or seasonal changes. Faux hedges stay lush and vibrant year-round and will provide you with a consistent visual delight.
When you install artificial hedges on your fence, you simultaneously increase your privacy and beautify your space. Since the hedges come in many shapes and sizes, you can customize them to suit your needs.
Plus, who wants to deal with unruly and overgrown live hedges when faux ones can maintain their shape for the long term?
How to Install Artificial Hedge Panels?
Before you order your artificial hedge panels, you need to get some things in order.
First, measure the surface you wish to cover. Then, calculate how many faux hedge panels youll need for full coverage. Designer Plants' artificial hedges come in different sizes, but you can cut and connect them as needed. If your area is smaller than our panels, trim the excess to get the desired size.
Next, order the correct number of fake hedges and gather your tools. The tools and equipment youll need depend on the surface youre covering.
- For wood or drywall, youll need a hammer, nails, and staples.
- For brick or cement, youll need a hammer, nails, and a drill.
- For fences or meshes, youll need cable or zip ties.
To begin, unpack your hedge panels. Then, turn them around to examine the grid-like structure on the back and find the lugs that will connect to the plugs on the back of another panel. Each panel has arrows on the back that need to face a certain way. These will be indicated.

How to Install Artificial Hedges Onto a Metal/Colorbond Fence
If youre dealing with a solid metal or colorbond fence, you might be more intimidated to do this yourself. But you shouldnt be - the steps are as easy as pie:

Step 2: Add horizontal beams across the top and bottom and attach them.
Step 3: Position the artificial hedge panel onto the beams.
Step 4: Drill holes at equal spacing in the beams - about 12 screws per 40.

Step 6: Attach additional hedge panels using the clips and secure them.
You can also attach your faux hedge walls directly onto a metal fence by using metal screws and washers and following the same steps. However, make sure the screws dont poke through your neighbors property. If this is an issue, we recommend using timber beams.

Step 2: Level it out and mark where you need to drill.
Step 3: Repeat the process on the other corner.
