The frame encases a shade and offers a series of platforms for the light to be angled in different directions. Block’s geometric frame is made from timber struts and CC aluminium plates that are fixed together with black Chicago screws.

The GARDENA Micro-Drip-System is a water-conserving method to deliver a targeted amount of water via drip heads directly to the plant. The soil is watered gently and evenly preventing too much precious water from evaporating, seeping or flowing away. This water-efficient type of irrigation system supplies the roots of each plant with exactly the right amount of water.
The Micro-Drip system can be easily used for watering flower and vegetable beds, greenhouses, hanging baskets and pot plants, as well as longer rows of hedges or shrubs.
The wide range of GARDENA Micro-Drip-System components makes it easy to create the ideal irrigation system for your individual garden situation. This way the watering is perfectly adapted to the individual needs of your plants: From continuous drops to a slight drizzle, to a gentle mist spray – this advanced irrigation system will help you to conserve water. Another plus: With the innovative “Quick & Easy” connection technology existing pipes can be easily opened and newly connected together.
