It is often made, and after putting soil (soil) inside this frame and laying it and planting it, desired plants are planted, and gravel or wooden decks are often installed in the surroundings (hereinafter, this construction method is referred to as "site construction method"). .

However, the rooftop space of a large-scale building or the like often changes its purpose of use frequently, and there is a case where facilities for other purposes are installed after the construction of a garden or the like. At this time, when the garden etc. is constructed by the on-site construction method and the work to remove the garden etc. is carried out, the used soil is taken out and post-treated, and the water supply facility or drainage facility provided as necessary is removed. There is a problem in that the work needs to be performed, the work is very complicated, and a great amount of work time and work cost are required. In addition, when planting an event site or sports facility where the holding period is short and the preparation period is short, it is possible to install a plant temporarily, but there is a construction method that replaces the on-site construction method. Since it did not exist, there was a problem that large-scale construction was required. In addition, in such a case, there has been a problem that a great deal of time and labor is required for maintenance work such as water supply, and it is difficult to treat the residual material at the time of removal. Therefore, in recent years, a method has been proposed in which soil is put in a planter that is formed in a predetermined shape in advance and is laid in a region where greening is required.
