Material Composition | Outdoor gardening, nursery setups | Industry Standard: HDPE (ASTM D790 flexural strength 25MPa) Our Base: LDPE (ASTM D1243 permeability 0.1g/100in²/day) ▲ Our Advanced: Reinforced LDPE + UV coating (ASTM D4355 UV resistance 1000hrs) ▲▲ | Base: Lightweight and flexible (ideal for bending around roots). Advanced: UV resistance prevents fading (retains color for 5+ years). | Industry: Heavy and rigid; prone to cracking in extreme temps. Advanced: Slightly higher cost. |
Durability | High-traffic areas, prolonged outdoor use | Industry: 1-year warranty (ASTM D543 20 chemical exposures) Our Base: 3-year warranty (ASTM D543 50 exposures) ▲ Our Advanced: 5-year warranty (ASTM D543 100 exposures) ▲▲ | Base: Resists common garden chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides). Advanced: Withstands industrial-grade chemicals (e.g., herbicides). | Industry: Degradation within 6 months of chemical exposure. Advanced: Limited flexibility vs. Base. |
Water Management | Self-watering needs, root health | Industry: Basic drainage holes (no self-watering) Our Base: Self-watering reservoir (ISO 2768 drainage efficiency 80%) ▲ Our Advanced: Smart moisture sensor + reservoir (ISO 2768 95%) ▲▲ | Base: Reduces watering frequency by 50%. Advanced: Alerts users via app when moisture drops below 30%. | Industry: Requires daily watering; root rot risk. Advanced: Requires battery replacement. |
Portability | Moving plants, stacking | Industry: No handles (weight: 5kg) Our Base: Foldable handles (weight: 4.5kg) ▲ Our Advanced: Collapsible design + ergonomic handles (weight: 4kg) ▲▲ | Base: Easier to carry for short distances. Advanced: Lightweight and folds flat for storage. | Industry: Bulky and hard to move. Advanced: Less durable when collapsed. |
Pest Protection | Outdoor pest control | Industry: No lid Our Base: Solid lid (ASTM E283 air infiltration 0.15m³/hr) ▲ Our Advanced: Mesh lid with ventilation (ASTM E283 0.2m³/hr + pest barrier) ▲▲ | Base: Blocks pests like rodents and insects. Advanced: Allows airflow while blocking pests (ideal for tropical climates). | Industry: Leaves plants exposed to pests. Advanced: Requires occasional mesh cleaning. |
Versatility | Multiple environments and plants | Industry: Single use (e.g., indoor only) Our Base: Indoor/outdoor (ASTM D642 stacking strength 200kg) ▲ Our Advanced: Customizable sizes + designs (ASTM D642 300kg) ▲▲ | Base: Suitable for tomatoes, seedlings, and vegetables. Advanced: Tailored sizes for potatoes (deep roots) and herbs (shallow roots). | Industry: Limited to one environment. Advanced: Higher price point. |
