The best plants walls, compared.
Top pick: Ark Mat VG-3 Lowther Green – Highest score at 78, a stated 100 x 100 cm Lowther Green panel at about £39.95 with 4.6 from 235 reviews, if you will add your own cable ties. Best value: Vinclus ivy roll – Highest price-credibility score on a different ASIN, at about £21.99 for a titled 1 x 3 m roll, if a see-through ivy screen is enough. Updated 21.10.2026.
This plants wall comparison is an artificial foliage screen for a UK fence, a balcony or an indoor wall. It is not a potted houseplant, and it is not an irrigated living wall. You judge a listing by whether the stated area agrees with itself, how dense the leaves are, whether an outdoor UV line is only a seller claim, and whether fixings are in the box. The two colours share that 235-review line, so the counts are not added. If you want stems in a pot rather than a screen, start with [artificial plants](/hub/houseplants/artificial-plants). You are choosing a roll, a set of tiles, or a metre panel, then checking whether the stated area agrees with itself. The checks that change the purchase are set out in the [plants wall buying guide](/hub/houseplants/plants-wall/sub/plants-wall-buying-guide). Tiles of about 50 cm trim around posts. A 1 m panel is a feature square. In the reviews that square is often four clips, not one solid sheet. The listing is the roll, titled 1 x 3 m. The generic panel is a 50 cm by 100 cm rectangle.

Question 1 of 2
Where will you hang it?
Ark Mat VG-3 in Lowther Green is a stated 100 x 100 cm panel at about £39.95, and the amazon.co.uk line is 4.6 from 235 reviews. UK reviews in the file say four squares clip together to make that square metre, then people use cable ties. Those ties are not on the included-components line, which lists one 100 cm panel. The indoor and outdoor field allows both, and the bullets claim UV protection without a year count. The material-type field says Wood, while the bullets describe foliage panels. The same review wording appears on Lush Lonsdale VG-1, so the 235 reviews are one shared pool. The panel weighs 750 g and is listed at 15 cm deep. In this set it is the top pick, at about £39.95 against about £44.95 for that shared review text.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 1 m square of Lowther Green foliage at about £39.95 and will add your own cable ties.
Less suitable: You need a timber frame, fixings in the box, or a review pool written only for this colour.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the Ark Mat VG-3 one solid sheet?
The listing says 1 piece, 100 cm x 100 cm. UK reviews in the file say four squares clip together to make that square metre, then people use cable ties. Cable ties are not in the included-components line.
Can this Lowther Green panel go outside?
The indoor and outdoor field says indoor and outdoor. Bullets claim UV protection and no watering. They do not give a year count. The material-type field says Wood, which is not a timber specification in the bullets.
Are the 235 reviews only for this colour?
The file shows 4.6 from 235, and the same UK review wording appears on the Lush Lonsdale ASIN B0C3RNVV1J. Treat the pool as shared. The prices differ: about £39.95 here and about £44.95 on VG-1.
Ark Mat VG-1 is the Lush Lonsdale colour of the 100 x 100 cm flower panel, priced at about £44.95. Size, the 750 g weight, and the amazon.co.uk line of 4.6 from 235 match VG-3. The UK review wording in the two files matches, so this listing does not add a second set of 235 reviews. Shared reviews describe clipping four squares and using large cable ties, and those ties are not on the included line. Special features say UV resistant, with no period stated. The material-type field and the container-material field both say Wood, and the file does not show a timber frame. The garden rank is 10,010, ahead of the Lowther Green listing, at £5 more for the same review text.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the Lush Lonsdale colour and will supply large cable ties yourself.
Less suitable: You are choosing on price, or you need reviews written only for this colour.
Specifications
Common questions
How is Lush Lonsdale different from Lowther Green?
The listing difference is the colour name Lush Lonsdale, model VG-1, and the price about £44.95. Size, weight, and the 4.6 from 235 line match VG-3. The UK review wording in the two files matches, so it is not a second pool of 235.
Does the box include cable ties?
Included components are one 100 cm panel. The shared reviews describe clipping squares and using large cable ties. Those ties are not on the included line.
Is the panel wooden?
The material-type field says Wood, and the container-material field says Wood. The bullets describe artificial foliage you clip and mount. The file does not show a timber frame.
The Vinclus ivy roll is titled 1 x 3 m at about £21.99, with a unit count of 3.0 square metres, and the amazon.co.uk line is 4.5 from 53 reviews. The listing says resin, colour Sweet Potato, and a seller line of 1,200 leaves. The assembly-required field says no, but you still unroll it and secure it, and the included line names only the rolling strip. Some UK reviews mention a 1 x 2.5 m size or £18.99, and those figures sit in the review text rather than in this title. One reviewer said there were too few leaves and they could still see the frame unless they added a backing, while another called the screen thick. The fade-resistant outdoor bullet gives no year count. It weighs 1.1 kg and is the lowest price in this set. In this set it is the best value when the titled 3 square metres arrives and a see-through ivy screen is enough.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a low-priced continuous ivy strip of about 3 square metres and can add your own ties.
Less suitable: You need a solid privacy screen, fixings in the box, or a size that every review states the same way as the title.
Specifications
Common questions
How big is the Vinclus roll?
The title says 1 x 3 m and the unit count says 3.0 square metres. Some UK reviews mention a 1 x 2.5 m size or £18.99. Those figures are in the review text, not in this title.
Will it block a view through railings?
The seller claims privacy with airflow. One UK reviewer said there were too few leaves and they could still see the frame unless they added a backing. Another called the screen thick. It is not sold as a solid panel.
Does it need assembly?
The assembly-required field says no. You still unroll it and secure it. The included-components field says rolling strip. A reviewer mentioned straps, and those are not in that field.
The ULAND A009 carton is 12 mixed-fern tiles at about £119.90, and the amazon.co.uk line is 4.4 from 297 reviews. The title is 20 in x 20 in, the dimensions field is 50 x 50 x 4.5 cm, and a bullet says one carton covers about 32 square feet, which the file treats as the same area as twelve 50 cm squares. Zip ties are on the included-components line, though one UK reviewer still wanted heavier-duty cable ties. Reviews that like the tiles call them thick and realistic from a short distance. The same file records returns for a shiny look, a powdery finish, a wrong style the buyer kept, and one box that held scrap carpet and 4 tiles instead of 12. A bullet claims PE plastic and over 3 years outdoors. That outdoor life is the seller's line. The item-weight field prints 454 g, and the colour field is blank.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 12-tile mixed fern wall of about 3 square metres and will count the tiles when the carton arrives.
Less suitable: You need every box to contain 12 tiles, a matte finish, or fixings stronger than the supplied zip ties.
Specifications
Common questions
How much wall does the 12-pack cover?
The bullet says one carton covers about 32 square feet. The title is 12 panels of 20 in x 20 in, and the dimensions field says 50 x 50 x 4.5 cm. Twelve 50 cm squares are 3 square metres, which is the same area as about 32 square feet.
Are fixings in the box?
The included-components line lists 12 artificial hedge panels and zip ties. One UK reviewer still wanted heavier-duty cable ties than the ones supplied.
What did UK reviewers complain about?
The file includes returns for a shiny look, a wrong style that the buyer kept, a powdery finish, and one box that held scrap carpet and 4 tiles instead of 12. Other reviews call the tiles thick and realistic from a short distance.
This ULAND ivy listing is about £114.99 with 4.4 from 133 reviews, colour A009, and the title says 12 pieces of 50 x 50 cm. The first bullet says 6 pieces are included, and a UK reviewer wrote that one box had 6. The item weight is about 699 g. A bullet claims UV-stabilised PVC and 5-8 years outside, while another bullet says 100% fresh plastic. One UK review says a year outdoors with colour and structure held. That report covers one year of the seller's 5-8 year line. A bullet says mesh backing and attachment fasteners, and one reviewer stapled tiles to a wall. Smell and a tacky surface appear in one UK review. Reviews also place the tiles indoors, while the title says outdoor.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want A009 ivy tiles and will confirm whether the box holds 12 or 6 before you measure a fence.
Less suitable: You need a settled piece count, a tested outdoor life, or a review file with no smell or tacky finish.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this box contain 12 tiles or 6?
The title says 12 pieces of 50 x 50 cm. The first bullet says 6 pieces are included. A UK reviewer wrote that one box had 6. The item weight is about 699 g. Confirm the count with the seller before you plan a fence.
How long does the listing say it lasts outside?
One bullet says UV-stabilised PVC and that it can be used outside for 5-8 years. Another bullet says 100% fresh plastic. Both are seller lines. A separate UK review says a year outdoors with colour and structure held. That is one report, not a test of the 5-8 year line.
What is in the box besides the tiles?
A bullet says attachment fasteners are included and the backing is mesh you can cut. One reviewer stapled tiles to a wall. Smell and a tacky surface appear in one UK review.
The ULAND H001 pack is 12 mixed broadleaf and fern tiles at about £114.90, and the amazon.co.uk line is 4.2 from 13 reviews. The title, the number-of-pieces field, and the number-of-packs field all say 12, each 20 in on the title and 50 x 50 cm in the dimensions. A bullet says 32+ square feet. The carton weight is 8.18 kg. Assembly required is yes, and the included line says binding ties, with a bullet that mentions interlocking panels and zip ties. A bullet claims UV-stabilised PE for indoors and outdoors. The file has no review bodies, so the 4.2 from 13 does not describe fit, colour, or missing tiles. The colour name is Lush Broadleaf and Fern Blend Mixed Green.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a named broadleaf and fern blend in a consistent 12-tile pack and can accept a thin review file.
Less suitable: You want written reviews on colour, gaps, or missing tiles before you spend about £114.90.
Specifications
Common questions
How many panels are in this pack?
The title, the number-of-pieces field, and the number-of-packs field all say 12. Each panel is 20 in x 20 in on the title and 50 x 50 cm in the dimensions. A bullet says 32+ square feet.
What do the 13 reviews say?
The listing line is 4.2 out of 5 from 13 reviews. The file has no review bodies, so there is no praise or complaint text to quote.
Does it need putting together?
The assembly-required field says yes. The included-components line says binding ties. A bullet says interlocking panels and zip ties for a one-person setup.
This generic panel, with manufacturer sunwit on the listing, is colour E at about £34.99, and the amazon.co.uk line is 4.1 from 22 reviews. The dimensions are 10 x 50 x 100 cm, so the face is 0.5 square metres, while the unit-count field says 1.0 square metre. It weighs 700 g. The usage field says outdoor and special features say UV resistant, with no period. The included line names the panel only. One UK reviewer wrote that no fixings were included, and another screwed the panel into plastic holes along the top. One reviewer said colour E was too bright beside the rest of their ivy and they would not buy it again, while other reviews call it realistic. The colour field only says E.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want one 50 x 100 cm outdoor panel at about £34.99 and will bring your own screws.
Less suitable: You need a confirmed square metre, fixings in the box, or a colour named more clearly than E.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this panel half a square metre or one?
The dimensions are 10 x 50 x 100 cm, so the face is 50 cm by 100 cm, which is 0.5 square metres. The unit-count field says 1.0 square metre. Both are in the file. The price is about £34.99 either way.
Are fixings included?
The included-components line names the panel. One UK reviewer wrote that no fixings were included. Another reviewer screwed the panel into plastic holes along the top.
Will colour E match other ivy?
One UK reviewer said it was too bright beside the rest of their ivy and they would not buy it again. Other reviews call it realistic. The colour field only says E.
Scores use the seven amazon.co.uk listings kept in this comparison, the shelf prices and star lines on those pages, and the review notes for the same ASINs. This is not a laboratory test. Weights sum to 100. Stars are worth 35, the review sample 25, whether the stated area agrees with itself 20, the outdoor claim and the fixings 10, and price credibility 10. The two Ark Mat colours share one 4.6 from 235 line, so that sample is not counted twice. The highest total is the top pick. The highest price-credibility part on a different ASIN is best value.
Star rating
35%Stars are scaled out of 5 and capped at 35. Ark Mat VG-3 is 4.6. The Vinclus roll is 4.5. The ULAND fern and A009 ivy packs are 4.4. The broadleaf pack is 4.2 from a thin file. The generic panel is 4.1.
Review sample
25%A larger pool that belongs to one ASIN scores higher, up to 25. ULAND mixed fern is 4.4 from 297. The Ark Mat 235 is one shared pool across Lowther Green and Lush Lonsdale. The broadleaf pack is 4.2 from 13 with no review text in the file.
Area agreement
20%Points only when the title, the piece count and the unit-count field can be the same area. Ark Mat states 100 x 100 cm. The Vinclus title says 1 x 3 m. ULAND A009 says 12 pieces in the title and 6 in a bullet. The generic panel is 50 x 100 cm while the unit count says 1.0 m².
Outdoor claim and fixings
10%An indoor and outdoor field, or a named UV line, can score here. No file names a test method or a year that we treat as measured. Zip ties, binding ties or a rolling strip score as listed contents. They are not masonry fixings. A missing cable-tie line scores lower.
Price credibility
10%This is the value block. It is not a prize for the cheapest title alone. The Vinclus roll at about £21.99 is the highest score in this block, on a different ASIN from the top pick, and only if the titled 3 m² is what arrives. No single price per square metre is published where the area fields disagree.
Choose the form and an area the listing agrees on before the leaf picture. A roll, a tile pack and a 1 m panel are not the same purchase, and a UV line with no year count is a seller claim.
A plant wall in this comparison is an artificial foliage screen for a UK fence, a balcony or an indoor wall. It is not a potted houseplant, and it is not an irrigated living wall. You are choosing a roll, a set of tiles, or a metre panel, then checking whether the stated area agrees with itself. The checks that change the purchase are set out in the [plants wall buying guide](/hub/houseplants/plants-wall/sub/plants-wall-buying-guide). Form comes first. A roll covers a straight run.
The Vinclus title says 1 x 3 m while some reviews say 2 m or 2.5 m. The generic face is 50 x 100 cm and the unit count says 1.0 m². A009 says 12 pieces in the title and 6 in a bullet. Measure from the fields that agree.
Lowther Green and Lush Lonsdale both show 4.6 from 235, and the review wording matches. That is one pool. The prices are about £39.95 and about £44.95. Do not treat 470 as the sample.
A single ivy layer can still be see-through. One Vinclus reviewer could see the frame without a backing. Fern tiles draw more comments about looking thick from a short distance. No file gives a measured privacy percentage.
Read the title, the piece-count bullet and the unit-count field before you multiply. Ark Mat states 100 x 100 cm, and reviews describe four clip-together squares that make that metre. The ULAND fern title is 12 panels of 20 in, the dimensions field is 50 x 50 cm, and a bullet says about 32 square feet, which is the same area as twelve 50 cm squares. The broadleaf pack's title and count fields all say 12 panels of 50 x 50 cm. Stop when the fields disagree.
A single ivy layer can leave the frame visible. One Vinclus reviewer said there were too few leaves unless they added a backing, and another called the screen thick. Fern and mixed tiles draw more comments that the foliage looks thick from a short distance. No file gives a privacy percentage you can treat as a test, and a 98% shaded bullet on A009 conflicts with other lines in that file. UV, fade-resistant and 5-8 year lines are seller claims.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want cover without planting into someone else's wall. The Vinclus ivy roll is the best value here, at about £21.99 for a titled 1 x 3 m strip. You still supply the ties, and one UK reviewer could see the frame through the leaves.
You want a thicker screen on a fence, a side gate or a shed, and you must not add height past the enclosure limits. The ULAND mixed fern pack is 12 tiles with 4.4 from 297 reviews. Count the tiles on arrival, and keep the fence within the 1 m or 2 m rule that applies where you are.
You need a fire specification, and this set does not give one. Non-domestic premises have to put artificial foliage in the fire risk assessment. The Ark Mat VG-3 is the top pick for a domestic 1 m square, not a rated commercial screen. Skip every listing here if the escape route needs a fire class.
The top pick is the Ark Mat VG-3 in Lowther Green at about £39.95. It scores 78, the highest here, as a stated 100 x 100 cm panel rated 4.6 from 235 reviews. Those reviews are shared with Lush Lonsdale, cable ties are not in the box, and the UV line has no year count. Best value is the Vinclus ivy roll at about £21.99, a different ASIN, titled 1 x 3 m and rated 4.5 from 53 reviews, if a see-through ivy strip is enough and the titled length arrives. Skip the Ark Mat if you need fixings in the box or a review pool written only for one colour. Skip the Vinclus if you need a solid privacy screen.
Ark Mat VG-3 Lowther Green
Highest score at 78, a stated 100 x 100 cm Lowther Green panel at about £39.95 with 4.6 from 235 reviews, if you will add your own cable ties.
Vinclus ivy roll
Highest price-credibility score on a different ASIN, at about £21.99 for a titled 1 x 3 m roll, if a see-through ivy screen is enough.
