How Many Panels Do You Need for Your Grass Wall?

If you have decided to purchase your own grass wall to create a backdrop, then hooray, you're hired! You can purchase artificial boxwood grass wall panels from my favorite spot, Amazon.com. Now I must warn you to pay close attention to the dimensions of the squares and make sure that you measure your desired area for where you want to set up your wall correctly. For most event design companies grass walls are rented in sizes of 7x7 sq. ft, 8x8 sq.ft., and 10x10 sq. ft. You will need to purchase several boxes of artificial boxwood panels to create a large grass wall. One box of 12- 20x20 boxwood grass wall panels will create a 5ft x7 ft grass wall. I good rule of thumb is to buy 2 boxes of 12 pieces of boxwood grass wall panels if you are wanting to create a 10ft x 10ft or larger grass wall backdrop. If you are not into measuring or just want to plan a beautiful party without having to look for a place to store your wall after your event is over, you can easily rent a grass wall backdrop from an event design company.

You can also use velcro or other adhesive tapes if you would like to attach your grass wall panels to create an actual wall. This is a more permanent approach suitable for offices, backdrops for videos, or selfie walls.

You can also purchase artificial turf to create a grass wall. This is purchased in rolls similar to carpet. You will follow the same steps to measure the length and width of your desired wall. Then will also need to build a frame with wood to adhere to the artificial turf. This is a more in-depth way of creating a wall. You will need to know how to measure and cut wood to build a frame.
