Using planters as an edge restraint or as a balustrade is a great way to switch up the look of your suspended deck or paving area. They can add visual appeal and create privacy to a terrace or balcony whilst removing the requirement for a traditional balustrade.

Using a large format planter as an edge restraint can also mean that you can remove any eyesores visible from the deck. Whilst having a clear balustrade has some benefits, and solid planter may be better in some instances to remove any of the unsightly things that may just become an eyesore.

The many different choices of colours and finishes mean that a planter wall is sure to blend in perfectly with any surrounding.  Using a planter instead of a traditional wall also gives you the benefit of adding variety to your garden without taking up additional space.
