Removing a plot country house Or cottages, you can use different techniques landscape design. Someone likes the roccar, others just decorate the space in small details. Take at least a vase: filled blooming plants, it looks unique. At the same time, this product can be done with your own hands: we understand in the intricacies of the process.
Concrete vase is a decorative vase of a small architectural form, which can be made of different material. This is a beautiful pot for plants and colors. It helps gardeners in cultivation of particularly sensitive plants, allows you to choose each of them optimal composition Soil. Vase and decorative load carries: through it, bright accents can be placed in landscape, emphasizing the uniqueness of the garden.
Existing species are divided into several categories. Vasons are:
Each type has its own features, although in general the properties for varieties identical: the difference lies in the amount used by the material of each particular case. For example, flowermen for giving more often perform medium sizes.
If the landscape is large, you can use street varieties for colors: they are larger, often higher, so plants in them often hang down, creating an indescribable atmosphere of antiquity.
The decorative models are smaller, they are exposed at the entrance, they are a kind of component to give the interior of the landscape of the desired atmosphere. Little options are often moving, so they are mobile. Large models often resemble floral flower beds, featuring a small depth.
The main material in the creation of a vase is concrete. This composition consists of:
The binding component is Portland cement, which includes the clinker, gypsum, slag, ash, pozzolanes, and other mineral splashes. Other portland cement agents are ceramzitone (crushed stone replaced with clay), or sandbeton (the filler function performs a varinforce sand). Water to knead the composition can be different: drinking, soil, technical, marine (not suitable for reinforced concrete vases).
In addition to the main raw materials, the work use auxiliary and decorative. The first category includes breeding agents with which the vase can be made. These are a variety of items that can be used as a shape of a vase, as well as a cargo that allows you to achieve the desired thickness of the product. The most interesting and unexpected decisions include:
As a cargo, it is predominantly small stones: due to its size, they perfectly fill the inner part needed to give the form by a mold, and are also a blowing weight. This raw material can be found in any garden or part of the country house. If problems arise with his search, you can use sand, which is also characterized by severity with a small volume.
If there is no sand on the site, part of a dry cement composition can be used to work, hermetically packing it into several polyethylene packets before the workflow.
Decorative elements of concrete vase depend on the stylistic idea. In the classic version, the vase may not have a decor at all: the rate can be made to the unusual shape, because the abundance of the decor does not always harmoniously looks with flowers or other plants that will be in a vase. The most interesting raw material is glass, coins, small multicolored pebbles, rhinestones, fragments of mirrors, stained glass and paint.
Creative connoisseurs are used in natural materialsBy transmitting a unique texture (for example, green leaves) of a concrete surface.
The shape of the vase today does not obey any standards. It is not limited in size, concrete vase for flowers can be:
The dimensions vary from 20 cm or more. Some varieties can reach more than 1 meter, the width can be 60-120 cm.
The form of products is divided into familiar classical and non-standard. The first category includes concrete vases of geometric forms (round, square, rectangular, hex, octal, oval varieties).
The second group is not confused with anything - vases can be represented as:
At the same time, the complexity of creation may not be in the experiment, but in the absence of patience. Any product can be made independently on professional level. The process implies:
For the workflow, which is carried out in the summer, you will need not so much materials, if you need to decide in advance with the appearance, think over the raw material, decor and frame. Depending on the particular case, cement, sand or a finished mixture are used. Water and composition should always be at hand: sometimes the composition is obtained dense, so it must be brought to the desired consistency
In other cases, the mass should not be spread, it is necessary for models that are performed like a sculptural modeling.
If the sand is inhomogeneous, there may be a special sieve for work. Cement is preferable to choose at least M-400. This composition will fit well, will not cause difficulties in the process of work. In addition to him, you may need:
Some homemade craftsmen allowed even tiled glue left after laying wall or outdoor tile. Due to the perfectly balanced proportions and homogeneity, such material is well mixed with other components without forming lumps.
Everyone picks up independently: one is enough to decorate the surface with pebbles of different shapes, leaving the dominant place of the decor with live colors. Others inspire work in order to demonstrate design skills, decorating the surface with a carved ornament, for example, in Indian topics. At the same time, plants in this tandem look no less stylish.
Whatever the model you have conceived, the technology of its manufacture will adhere to about the same processes. The difference can be in the number of steps: what comprehensive product, these are them more. This is especially true for products requiring modeling. To analyze the essence of the work, consider the general technology, and then several options for the manufacture of a stylish vase from concrete. This will understand why the steps in master classes are different.
The solution is mixed in the consistency, as for laying a tile: the mass does not spread, while it is not thick. If the composition is planned to be impregnated, it should be more liquid, otherwise it will not be able to completely impregnate the necessary form. Two containers use more often to give the desired shape. One of them is filled with a solution, the other is inserted into the solution and filled with a blow (heavy objects, sand) so that concrete climbs at the edges of the original form.
In order for cement to be separated from the main form, the large container selected as the basis is treated inside with lubrication. For this purpose, it is possible to use a polyethylene film, but it is not always possible to relent it, therefore, production flaws can be visible on the finished product. The second form is treated with lubricant outside (in a place where it gets in touch with the solution). The general instruction is as follows:
If inserts are planned into the surface (for example, fragments of mirrors or stones), they are pressed into the material when the concrete is still supple. The same applies to stencils: the form is needed at the time of pouring concrete.
Let's go short by different types manufacturing.
To make a charming vase-cat, you will need 6 wooden supports (you can use legs from old stools) and plastic container for the body. The supports are fixed to the container by means of aluminum wire, from the 4th building paws, from the remaining two - the tail and head. Then inner space Vases are separated by concrete, external sculpture. For the head you can use any object of round shape.
The material works gradually, otherwise the mass risks falling down from the base. When the solution freezes, you need to inch a surface. Then it is necessary to paint the form in the color younger, giving the cat the original color. You can cover the product on top of varnish.
This method is the easiest. Used 5-liter bottles are cut to the desired height, then poured onto the bottom of the concrete. Inside insert more often round shape, following the main technology, filling it with sand in a package or gravel. Some vases when frozen have a ready-made embossed pattern in the form of transverse strips left by the form of greater tank. Others look original, featuring the figure shape of the edge.
No less simple to manufacture is a vase from textiles or an old towel. To create it, you will need a container for kneading, fabric, bucket and support. Here everything is extremely simple: the fabric is lowered into a concrete solution to a complete impregnation, then hang on the bucket, put on the support. If necessary, you can immediately correct the edges of the future vase, cutting them into them, or bending them, like floral petals, when the solution starts to stick.
There may be a mass of fabric options, as well as material structures: Vase can turn out to be air, openwork.
If you use towels, the drawing will have an original relief. It can be soaked with a concrete solution different things. For example, it can be a conventional woven bag with ties, a handkerchief, or old jeans.
Some like paper (for example, box shape): This material after solving the solution takes the original texture. Its production does not differ from the main technology. Moreover, you can vary the form itself: the box can have concave, convex side faces, or asymmetry. The main rule of all materials is free access to the removal of used devicesOtherwise, it will be problematic separating the workpiece from the base.
The decoration of the concrete vase is a creative and fascinating process. Little to fulfill the form: she needs to give an attractive appearance. To do this, the concrete is often washed, giving the surface a unique texture. Another reception of the finish is inclusion different materials. The design can be the most diverse: painting the products under the bronze or gilding will give the product with a shade of vintage. White type of surface will successfully fit into the garden interior, in which there is a statue, or it will be an independent focus of the site.
Gardening of the country's territory plays a huge role in its improvement, as even a small clumab with flowers perfectly transforms the "naked" space. On the large squares Today, in landscape design, whole architectural green "creations" are often found.
What to do that, who has 5 acres in the country and those, almost all are busy, but do you want to warm the landscape? In this case, you can equip the clubs of small sizes with bottles with plants. It is about how to make outdoor colors for flowers with their own hands we will tell in this article.
Rooms are separated on portable and standard, with simple and complex forms. Production material can be the most diverse: polymer concave, natural and artificial stone, wood.
Street vases are much larger than room, and they are located only on the street. They can be manufactured from both plastic - more economical material and from polymerbetone - more expensive option.
Such vases are particularly relevant in those places where every centimeter of the plot on the account is literally. Very often, such vases can be found on urban small courtyards.
This species is the most common, can be placed on the pillars, couches or just on Earth.
Street vases should be in harmony with the common style of the country area. In some embodiments, geometric shapes of vases will look more concise, and instances are suitable with unusual, extravagant notes. It is worth not to forget that in large areas, small vases look ridiculous, and, on the contrary, in the landscape of a small square they will not fit at all. At the expense of the coloring of street vases, then one basic rule is played here - the pot should not be brighter than the plants in it. Also, it is also not worth paying special attention to various shades, one-timeness is best emphasized by the style of the entire site.
In the vapor landscape fashion, the main colors are brown, gray, terracotta and white.
The stump is not at all unnecessary dead tree, but on the contrary, it can become a precious landscaped potential consisting for flowers. How to convert a stump in beautiful vase? For this you need a chisel and drill.
Highly interesting option Vases is obtained from spoken trees, and especially from birch. It is not worth putting the plants directly into the Vazone itself, since the wood is susceptible to moisture, and with frequent watering, the tree just just starts rot. Better inside the carved wooden branch to put any pot. The tree is desirable to handle a special protective agent for the occasion of the water from the pots by the pot during watering colors.
For the organization of street vases, any old things are suitable, ranging from various jugs, buckets, finishing with old shoes and bottles from beer.
A broken glass, various small pebbles, seashells, nail polishes fit as decorations. This version of the vases is a blank fantasy flight, here the most difficult is the correct selection and layout of decor elements. The easiest and simple way is a finishing with colored glass that is fastened with tiled glue.
Always can also be fantasized and combine unnecessary dishes with old furniture. For example, a beautifully painted and decorated pot can be put on the chairs or a tube, which will serve as an excellent flow of a flower bed.
To do this, we separate the legs from the car, thoroughly and wipe the dryer. Confirm the box between the legs, after which the entire surface is staining with the pulverizer. Initially, apply the black database, then take the paint of silver or golden color and carelessly tassel, barely touching the table, make horizontal strokes. As a result, it turns out a beautiful vase under the antiquity.
Vase options from a plastic bottle mass, but this option is on an amateur.
The easiest way is to cut a two-liter bottle, and on the reverse side, make several holes for water drain, a little paint from the can, seashells and your Vazone is ready.
A twental bottle can be a full-fledged outdoor vason, but it requires a more serious approach. So that the pot was as stable as possible, it will have to be done stationary.
Cover from the tire is fast, free and at the same time in the original method Creation of vases that emphasize the beauty of plants planted in them. To create it, it will take a bit of fantasy, half an hour of free time, a pencil for a mark and a knife or an electrolovka. The size of the selected tire may be the most diverse, it all depends on the desired vase size.
To organize a concrete vase you will need:
Depending on the desired amount of vases, take the same dimensions of a large container. With the help of a smaller ass, you will make the concrete walls of your vase.
Stages of creating a concrete table for flowers:
The conventional vase of the kapzo is distinguished by the lack of drainage, an unusually decorated surface and is mainly performed by decorative functions. The capacitance of the kap is placed, as a rule, a pot with a flower, but in some cases it is possible to plant plants right into it, then in this case you need to ensure good drainage.
The size of the kap must be 3-5 centimeters above and 5-8 centimeters wider than a pot with a plant. You can easily make a kapso alone by purchasing a conventional container and decorate it with pebbles, ribbons, beads, drying, artificial colors or other decor elements, but much more original and harmonious will look a kap, made completely with your own hands. Also, construction baguettes are perfect as a scenery, which, with a small wet, are adjusted under any form of a vase. It is enough just to stick a baguette on the prepared bowl and wipe the surface of the clay. Fully processed by this material, the vase will look like a real modeling.
For example, you can take old shoes, tin can or unnecessary bucket, paint them and decorate decorative elements.
It looks very beautifully a kap from bamboo sticks, they must be carefully smudded together and from the inside to attach a burlap, you can attach a small bow on top.
From the point of view of color comfort, the most optimal fabric is the usual clay, gypsum or asbestos.
Most often, the plants of two or three types are planting a small pyro.
It looks very beautifully, the dimorphothek, Gasani, urcinia dwarfs, which are distinguished by unusual and bright inflorescences. All these flowers are grown as annual, an exception is the Dorfoothek, which is transplanted for the winter to a room with good lighting.
In large vases, compositions are composed of flowers of various in height, form and color.
If the Vase is overlooked from all sides, higher plants are planting in the center, and around the colors around less than size. Very spectacular in large vases look asters, dahlias, pelargoniums, veciatts, pansies, Verbena, Iberis and Lion Zev.
In the vases placed on the hills, planted flowers - lobelia, begonia, petunia, bell, tunberg and fuccia. For street vases, you can choose a huge number of colors, but if you wish it is the classic option, then stop your choice on Petunia, Balzamine, Leljelia, Dichondra, Budre, etc.

For the manufacture of a street vase from the stump with their own hands, you must first pick up a suitable tree. It may be a thick base of the trunk or a small snag. The decorativeness of the vase depends on the shape of the tree and the texture of its surface.
Begin to make a vase with their own hands from the definition sizes. Optimal height is forty centimeters. Superior scolded with chainsaw. In this case, it turns out a smooth slice and the bark is not damaged, which adorns the surface of the future vase.
On the surface of hemp placed a circle. Internal content dried out Using the cone type drill. First, they make holes in a depth of ten centimeters around the perimeter, then knocked out the wood with mechanical bit and complete the processing of the walls by conventional chisel.
vases for the garden do it yourself. Photo
The inner surface of such a garden vase is processed morilka. For this, the composition is poured into a small glass and painting brush Apply on all surfaces of the product, trying not to leave non-crushed plots. Additionally, you can use various decorative elements.
Founded chubbanks nail to the dried and processed bottom. For it, it can be used as a suitable diameter. Parts of one circle are connected by a construction staple on the inside. The next row put so that the seams are constantly shifted. Among themselves the rows are also connected by the stapler.

Inside the received vase, we put clay or plastic container suitable size. Putty soil and planted flowers
From cement with the addition of other components, you can make both large colors for flowers and relatively small ones.
To make a vase big size required plastic form With parameters 53 cm in diameter and 23 cm in height.
Solution We make from two parts of white cement, one piece of perlite (agroperlitis) and two parts of the rigorous peat. As a measuring container, you can take a two-liter bucket. The mixture of three components is divorced by water until the mass of thick consistency is obtained.
vasons for giving with their own hands from cement. Photo
Since such a vase is heavy enough, it is better to immediately do it in a permanent place.
To make the Cement Vase, with your own hands, take a plastic pot, which is a shape, and linse it with a thin film. Cellofan must be reappeared so that non-clear folds are not imprinted on the surface.
First lay the solution to the bottom. The layer thickness should be approximately four or five centimeters. To control the thickness, matches or toothpicks are excellent.
To improve the strength of such a large product, you can install metal wire frame or other reinforcing design. It is possible to strengthen the composition to add to it about the handful of crushed fiberglass. Since the Vazone is large enough, and put the large volumes of cement composition with hands, it will have to do it fractionally. It will take about four or five zones.
Do not forget when making garden vases with their own hands and about drainage. It is done, putting a plug on the bottom, wrapped in a film.
You can make this vase multicolored. To do this, the cement mixture is divided into parts. They add different dyes. The multicolored mixture is placed on the inner surface alternately, which makes the ready-made container of motley.
After the whole surface is lined with a mixture, the product is closed cellofan film And leave about ten days. During this time, the cement mixture will freeze and gain strength. If the product dries too fast, it will be necessary to moisten it.
Eight days check availability. To do this, tapping on the surface of the cement. If the sound is negligent, then the vase is removed from the form along with the film.
After treatment with a brush, the vase is washed with water and dried slightly. Further, his words are wrapped with a film so that the mixture continued to harden.
After about a week or two material will acquire a lighter shade. This is a sign that the film is time to shoot, but to put the Vase to the final place.
From such cement mix You can make small vases with your own hands. For them take any forms. It can be old fruit vases, flower pots and buckets, basins and dishes. Manufacturing technology is the same as for a large vase.
To perform such a flower vase, a mixture of the following components are used with their own hands. Take one piece of gray cement, one part of the vermiculite and two parts of the riding peat.
As the basis take a wire fire frame and a five-liter plastic bottle, which is trimmed at the desired height.
The frame from the fan is lined with a film. It will take three layers so that the mixture is not allowed between the rods too much. After the mixture is freezing, the original carved surface will be obtained. It should only be slightly treated with a metal brush and the vase from cement is almost ready.
To decorate the household site you can use and practically throwing materials, for example, old car tires. To make tire vases with their own hands, you should choose the source material of the desired size. It is best for the creation of carved products a winter unwanted rubber suitable, which is softer and thin.

Consider how to make a tire vase with your own hands similar to a flower. To do this, first with chalk paint the contour on the side of the tire.
When the petals are cut on the tire make small longitudinal slots. They are at a distance of five or ten centimeters from each other and facilitate the process of turning the tire.
Remove the product is not easy. This requires physical effort, but after a small plot is turned out, the process is accelerated.
After that, it remains only to decorate the finished product. There are other options for the manufacture of tires from the tires with their own hands.
From a large barrel one hundred and fifty liters, two tanks can get at once. To do this, in the middle of the barrels mark the place of the cut by which they are saw into two parts. lobzik.
The edgesprocessing with a special tool so that there are no burstles.
Outside to the bottom attach two bruckSo that the Vase is easier to move.
The resulting workpiece is trimmed wooden planks. They can be placed online or flashes.
Nails are clogged with a special pistol. From the inside, they are raised by a hammer.
Top rim Make from dusk connected at an angle. Fasten it with nails and glue.
Wooden finish can be covered with varnish or paint in suitable color. Vase is ready to plant flowers in it.
This embodiment looks spectacular and makes even the most familiar plants unusual.
The cavities inside the blocks are excellent for planting and growing plants. Some manufacturers even began to produce special hollow elements for landscape design.
For the manufacture of street vases from silicate blocks, with their own hands it follows think up designSo that it was stable and had enough space for plants. Next, the necessary material is purchased.
In blocks should be drainage, So that excess water leave. The base is chosen quite strong.
The base is glued to the bottom of silicate blocks. Then the design is collected from the resulting elements. Blocks with each other are connected using glue.
Gradually building tiers, it is necessary to fill the ground.
Read more for work thin sticksFor example, from ice cream. They are glued to wooden lamp.
Repeating processes make another three sides.
Then stick sticks on top of two sides.
The surface of the resulting container is polished and stained.
It turns out a small romp, which put the container with flowers.
Polyfoam common material and people often interest how to make a vase with their own hands from it.
First drink rectangular billets For walls that are connected by glue by self-draws. Then the container is covered plastering mix in several layers with reinforcement plastic mesh. When the mixture is dry, the surface is cleaned with irregularities. The next stage is painting. After that, the finishing layer is applied decorative plaster. The product looks like cast from concrete.
Make a garden vase with their own hands wooden pallet. To do this, it is gently disassembled on the boards.
All boards having a length of 80cm, we saw in half. The boards with a length of 120cm, mark on three parts of 38cm and cutting, making a mowed slice at an angle of thirty degrees.
Boards with slices connect using self-tapping screws. It turns out a hexagon. To each of his board we attach the leg.
Similarly, we collect the second hexagon.
We collect the bottom of the vase. For this, between the legs, fasten the transverse board. It is placed on the bottom board and freamed them to the edges of the hexagon of self-draws.
It turns out durable designwhich should be processed by an antiseptic. It can be decorated with any ways.
There are several ways of artistic design of the territory - the choice of materials and technologies is sufficient. But in relation to the incoming or summer cottage, given the modest sizes of most of them, there are a number of restrictions. Street vases can be used: ready-made samples of plastics, ceramics, wood, metal or concrete will cost from 1,180 rubles, depending on the material, forms and dimensions.
Their disadvantage is not only that money will have to spend (and for transportation, unloading to the site too). Each has its own cottage, with a specific layout, and for the appropriate landscape design, sometimes it is difficult to choose exactly what is most suitable. Independent manufacture Flower vases allows you to get the capacity of any configuration and dimensions. Consequently, leveling many problems. The fact that you will need to take into account and how to competently arrange - this article.
The main criterion in determining the size of the flower vase is the place of its installation. There are many options - on the ground, in a suspended state, with fastening on the walls, fence, artificially erected special structures (niches, pergolas, pillars, and the like).
If it is correct to produce it (the choice of optimal paintwork, compliance with technology), then on corrosion you can forget for a long time. Complexity in the manufacturing process itself. Flower vase should be sealed. The slightest leaks are mud divorces on the walls of the tank, and the puddles on the surface, if it is solid (compacted soil, concrete, tile or asphalt).
So you will have to do a mezzanie or welding of seams. Those who wish, and most importantly, who know how to perform such work qualitatively, a little. Another significant minus of metal vases should be noted - the rapid heating of the material under the sun. This accelerates the process of evaporation of moisture, and the planted flowers will have to be quite often. In the case when no one lives in the country permanently, the risk is a great risk that plants will die.
Conclusion: If the metal is selected, it is more expedient to use ready-made tanks for vases. For example, barrels that cut, and in any plane, not so difficult.
Traditionally used natural material for vases. Such containers are better suited for growing colors. But the main complexity of manufacture with your own hands is in high-quality firing. It will take thermal installation, and taking into account the dimensions of the street vases in everyday life it is unrealistic. It is unlikely that anyone agrees to acquire large-sized electric stoves only for these purposes. In addition, it also will have to connect somewhere. Taking into account the power of the unit and the wornity of e / networks is not so easy.
Conclusion: If you want to install floral vases from clay on the street with your own hands, then the optimal option is to use the industrial manufacturer's capacity. They do not differ in large dimensions, but to decorate the walls of the house, for accommodation on artificially erected structures are perfect.
It is also not used for the manufacture of vases in domestic conditions. With your own hands, it will only arouse the finished products. The choice is large, and prices are not so big as on concrete or ceramic analogs.
The only drawback is a significant mass. But the manufacture of your own hands is not so complicated. Concrete vase will last for a very long time and does not require any care.
These dummy vases or outdoor territory - one of better options. The naturalness of the stone allows you to enter a similar decoration of the site in any landscape. Making with your own hands is associated with a number of difficulties, but if you understand the meaning of technology, then there will be no special problems. The main thing is to choose the right samples and fit them at the place.
If you do not want to spend a lot of time, then you can go on a lighter path. As a basis to take ready-made products, and after a small "refinement" to give them the desired form and dimensions. It will only remain paint, if necessary. There is no specific standard in this case, it all depends on their own imagination and opportunities.
In the private sector, it is equally well used for log tubers, used tires, plastic or glass bottles, segments from mats, old wicker baskets, stumps and so on. In principle, you can use everything that is at hand.
Photos are perfectly illustrated, on which human fantasy is capable.
A solution with a filler of small fractions is prepared. You can use and purchased PGS. The optimal ratio of cement / sand - 2 to 3. At this stage, depending on the desired shade of the vase, the corresponding pigment is introduced. Such prudency will ensure the uniformity of concrete staining throughout the structure. In addition, the upgrade of the surface design does not need to do more. But if the paint is applied after hardening the stone, it will have to do it regularly.
The surfaces of the forms in contact with the solution are covered with a thin layer of oil (vegetable). This will eliminate the adhesion of liquid concrete to the base.
If the rone is done with the bottom, then it is necessary to ensure the drainage of water to which flowers will be water. Therefore, the solution is loaded in a more overall form (by 1.5 - 2 cm) and vertically oriented tubes (metallic, polymeric) are placed in this layer, which will ensure the production of drain holes.
Installed internal capacity. It must be aligned so that the thickness of the wall of the future vase was unchanged throughout the perimeter.
A concrete solution is loaded. This is done portion, with its constant seal. This technique allows you to increase the strength of the walls (including their small thickness) and prevent the formation of voids in artificial stone.
Disassembly of internal container. Regardless of the working conditions (temperature, humidity) - no earlier than 24 hours. After the excavation, it should be sprayed from the inside and hide it with a transparent moisture-proof material. Typically, the web canvas P / er is used.
It will only be left to wait for a complete hardening of the stone. As with any work with concrete, it will have to regularly spray, and then close again to ensure the uniformity of graze in volume.
Design is made or staining, or with small fragments of other materials. In the first case, it is desirable to apply the compositions of light tones - cream, white, terracotta, brown, beige. Selected shades should be harmonized with the landscape of the territory segment on which the floral vase is assumed. When using foreign fragments, you can focus on fine pebbles, beads, fragments of mirrors, color plastic or plexiglass, shells and even coins (for those who are fond of Feng Shui).
The weight of concrete vases can be reduced, if you focus on the design without a bottom. In fact, it will be necessary to build only the walls, the form (formwork) for which it is most often prepared from multilayer plywood or pieces of b / y plates - chipboard, army and the like. If you want to get a vase round cross section, 2 capacities of different capacity are used. One is installed in another, and the solution is poured between the walls.
