With this relatively new product it is difficult to know what you are looking for and how to install it.</p><p>There are some tips for you prior to your artificial hedge purchase, and suggestions for your installation:</p><p><strong>What are you using the artificial hedge for?</strong></p><p>There are many uses artificial hedging could offer. Maybe to cover up the ugly mouldy wall in your courtyard, or to turn your living room into a green oasis, to update your balcony, to add a touch of greenery to your roof terrace, to add privacy screening to your front garden, to make an instant planter, to decorate your windowsill, to creating an animal or topiary figure, to creating a border or barrier.</p><p><strong>Where are you using the artificial hedging?</strong></p><p>Before purchasing the perfect artificial hedge panels we need to know where would you like your hedge to sit. If you like your hedge fence to look as if it is growing straight from the ground you would need build a frame fixed into the ground, and using upright growing foliage for the hedge fence. In places such as decking, balcony and roof terraces it is unrealistic for the plants to grow from the ground, the better option would be instant hedge planters. For commercial indoor display you would need to consider fire retardant foliage.</p><p><strong>Measure up the area</strong></p><p>It is important to measure up the area as accurately as possible. Hedged In DIY hedge panels come as 50 x 50 cm interlocking squares. Four hedge tiles make one square metre. You would also need to consider the other side of the garden fence for your neighbour's view. You would also need to consider 5 sides for a hedge planter.</p><p><strong>Pick the right artificial foliage</strong></p><div class="mceTemp"><dl id="attachment_192" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://hedgedin.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/A001-boxwood-artificial-hedge-front.jpg"><img class="wp-image-192" src="http://hedgedin.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/A001-boxwood-artificial-hedge-front.jpg" alt="boxwood artificial hedge panel" width="100" height="100"/></a></dt><dd class="wp-caption-dd"><em>Boxwood</em></dd></dl></div><p>The most common artificial foliage in commercial use is <a rel="nofollow" href="http://hedgedin.co.uk/shop/artificial-hedges/artificial-boxwood-50cm-x-50cm/">box hedging</a>.
