Choosing and installing window boxes.

It is essential to consider safety and regulations when installing a window box. Secure safety brackets are needed as window boxes can be heavy and dangerous when filled with plants and growing mediums. Window boxes look best if they match the architecture of the building, window boxes also seem to look better if they are slightly wider than the window itself where possible. Consult with building owners, landlords and local authorities to gain permission and approval before installing window boxes.

Drainage of window boxes is important to consider, all planter boxes need drainage and window boxes are no exception. If left to drain on the window ledge stains and marks can appear, often a simple plastic tube can be attached to help drain the window box efficiently.
