French term
barre végétale
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Botany
plant equipment
This is a very descriptive piece about different types of gardening and plant equipment.
There are 3 terms used cloison vegetale which ive googled and looked up different references and this particular one looks like a towel rail! So plant rack is my version.
Then there is a pied vegetale which is a vertical piece of metal with a small round base and small rings jutting out periodically up the bar to hang plant pots on. So im thinking plant stand for this.
The barre vegetale looks almost exactly the same as the pied vegetale. French description for it as follows.
"Barre végétale
Base: structure en acier finition peinture époxy
Coloris: Calcaire
Armature composée de 5 anneaux ajustables en hauteur, pouvant recevoir des pots de diamètre 16cm maximum.
Poteries vendues séparément
Poids: 4,70 kg
A monter soi-même
Instructions et accessoires de montage fournis dans l'emballage
Utilisation domestique uniquement.
Usage intérieur et extérieur
Garantie: 2 ans"
This looks to be a plant stand too to me but the French obviously differentiates so I was hoping some green fingered person might tell me the difference between the 3!

I think you need to consider the 3 terms as a group. There must be some difference between the "pied" and "barre" - the latter I would normally expect to be horizontal. Even if not, my suggestion might still work. It can only be a suggestion without seeing the things, but you might try:
cloison végétale = plant screen
pied végétale = plant column
barre végétale = plant rail
cloison végétale = plant screen
pied végétale = plant column
barre végétale = plant rail

: I imagined it vertically, like the pied, but "rail" still works (when they're not on strike).

Thanks, Bourth! Yes, now it sounds like another vertical thing, but I suppose there's a reason...

Discussion
Le pied végétal concerne, en général, le pied de la plante, et n'a rien à voir, à ma connaissance, avec un support.
Un support pot de fleur peut avoir plusieurs formes. Ci-dessus un lien qui correspondra peut-être avec vos images ; peut-être faudrait-il rajouter "support" ?
I think Im going to try
plant rack
plant stand
plant rail
seems to sounds ok hopefully

This is obviously almost identical to how the barre vegetale is described above. The pictures of the 2 are also practically identical.
the only difference I can see is that the pied has a small round base at the bottom of the bar and the barre vegetale has a straight horizontal bar across the bottom of the vertical and across the top
They do look to be almost identical. No details on the usage.
Its basically 3 tabs across the document one being each type of rack so it would be good to come up with something slightly different but I dont think plant bar sounds great!
thanks
