Description

  The present invention relates to a planter suitable for rooftop greening of a building or the like, and more particularly to a rooftop greening planter that is easy to maintain and manage planting.

  The present invention

  In recent years, from the viewpoints of alleviating the heat island phenomenon, reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, saving energy in buildings, and healing effects on people, rooftop greening has been promoted in which the rooftop surface of buildings is covered with plants.

  Conventionally, as a method of rooftop greening, a rooftop greening method has been proposed in which the rooftop of a building is covered with a shelf such as a pergola, a planter is installed under the pergola, and the branches and leaves of the vine planted in the planter are attracted to the pergola. (See Patent Document 1). Moreover, although it is not the method of rooftop greening, the greening method which attaches a net to a planter and attracts the vine planted by the planter to this net is proposed (refer patent document 2).

  However, since the rooftop greening method proposed in Patent Document 1 attracts a vine plant to a pergola and greens it, it takes a long time for the rooftop to be greened. The proposed greening method can be planted on a vertical plane, but cannot be planted on a horizontal plane and cannot be used as a rooftop greening method.

  Therefore, the present applicant has intensively studied in order to solve the problems of the above-described conventional rooftop greening method, and has a planter provided with a net-like panel body having an area larger than the upper surface of the planter body on the upper surface of the planter body. Proposed (see Patent Document 3). According to this planter, since a vine plant grows along a net-like panel body, rooftop greening can be achieved in a short period of time, which is extremely preferable.
