Museum Series Tree
The Mall Silks project profile this month features a 12' Museum Series artificial tree that was sent to Salem, MA to be installed as a store feature for a new retail toy store opening up soon. A representative from Mud Puddle Toys contacted Mall Silks to help design and manufacture the feature tree for display in the store. After several design renderings, the client contracted with Mall Silks to build the tree. The width of the canopy was 12' wide and the diameter of the trunk was 18". The tree trunk was mounted onto a custom steel base plate that was made to bolt to the concrete floor of the store. For product quality assurance, the tree was completely fabricated and set up at our Mall Silks facility before it was shipped out. The limbs were made to detach from the trunk for shipping purposes and labeled so that they could be installed on site with ease by the client. The tree was shipped in a custom crate via LTL freight. A final shaping and setting of the limbs with epoxy was accomplished on site to finish the installation. The tree took approximately 50 man hours to build, used multiple fabricated hardwood natural trunks for the branching, and was foliated with over 6,000 inherently fire retardant Pin Oak leaves.

Mall Silks carries a wide variety of artificial grass products. This month, our product profile focuses on these realistic wispy plants.  The most widely used artificial grass that we sell is by far our molted grass product. This is a durable plastic coated grass can be easily cleaned and is very realistic in shape and color.  It is available in red/brown and green colors, 36" tall. We also stock a grass that we refer to as “wild” grass due to the nature if its leaf blades.  It is available in a 44" tall size that is a nice dark green color. We also stock a horsetail reed that is wildly popular with designers for its contemporary look.  It comes in a 48" tall overall height (the individual reeds are staggered from 38" – 48" tall). We also stock a small 22" Liriope grass and a plastic 27" prairie grass that is an autumn brown/green color.

If you do not see exactly what you need for your project when reviewing our artificial grass products, please let us know and we can more than likely get you what you want. In addition, because we assemble all of our grasses here in the U.S. at our facility, we have the ability to alter the height, density, and grow pot sizes of all of our grass products. For example, if you wanted to use the horsetail reed but wanted it 24" tall instead of 48", we can cut it down to fit your size.  Or, say you wanted to use the wild grass but wanted to use a 3 plant-per-pot version instead of 5 in order to bring down the cost of the product for budget purposes, we can do that too.  Remember, at Mall Silks, our motto is “If you can imagine it, we can build it”! 

Finally, while we are on the subject of grasses, we have to mention the fact that we have several nice preserved ornamental grass options.  To learn more about our artificial and preserved grasses, visit http://mallsilks.com/grasses.htm.
