The BIKEBLOCK 2.0 bike stand is suitable for lightweight bikes weighing up to 14 kg. For heavier bikes, we recommend the BIKEBLOCK 3.0. The reason for this distinction is that the frame, the shape of the fork or fitted panniers – to name just a few factors – all affect a bike’s stability. Even firmly attached side stands often reach their limits in this respect: the bicycle stands at a steep angle, the handlebars tilt inwards and stability is sometimes lost. The BIKEBLOCK from Urbanature aligns the bicycle vertically, ensuring it stands securely. At the same time, it significantly reduces the space required.
Vertical gardening is popular on balconies and rooftop terraces. Urbanature sees itself as a specialist in this field and has been developing products for indoor and outdoor greening for two decades now. Durability and a high degree of functionality are designed to make space-saving gardening as easy as possible—for beginners and professionals alike. Maximum yield even in hot summers.
Read this in-depth article to find out what you need to bear in mind when it comes to vertical gardening. We’ll share some tips and tricks.
Wood used outdoors must withstand the constant exposure to sun and rain, as well as fungi and bacteria – many softwoods, such as spruce, quickly lose their strength as a result and must be treated regularly with wood preservatives. Black locust wood is by far the better alternative here: it is naturally extremely durable, hard and resilient, without the need for any chemical wood preservatives. That is why Urbanature uses only black locust wood for outdoor applications – it is long-lasting, low-maintenance and ideal for balcony planters, raised balcony beds and vertical gardens outdoors.
