How to Custom Size Florafelt Pocket Panels

Florafelt Vertical Garden Planters come in standard sizes that can be tiled to exact specifications to closely fit any width. The panels can also be trimmed for custom sizes. Our standard pocket size is 10” wide x 6” high. Allow an additional 1” to each side for attachment staples.

 

How to Trim Florafelt

Florafelt Vertical Garden Planters can be easily cut with a utility knife and straight edge.

  • Place panel felt side up.

  • Use a straightedge and very sharp utility knife to make multiple cuts on the felt surface.

  • Repetitive cuts will begin to slice into the felt materials.

  • When you reach the plastic sheeting below, keep cutting.

  • Be careful not to hit staples and dull your blade.

  • Use Titanium Scissors to trim extra felt if needed.

Use combinations of the panels to create custom sizes as in the example below.

Florafelt Panels Can Be Trimmed Vertically

Panels can also be trimmed vertically every 6” to create more custom sizes. Take special care when trimming vertically to keep the upper staple connected. This is what’s holding in the top pocket edge.

The bottom edge can be trimmed to leave a partial pocket, not used but to complete the infill.
