Description
What is Green Wall?
Green Wall is the name given to the range of stainless steel fittings and 3.2mm wire cable (either 1x19 or 7x7) that can be used to construct vertical trellis gardens.
Where would you normally use this fitting?
The Green Wall post is both extremely easy to install and provides for an elegant and stylish finish to your green wall trellis project. The posts have two holes positioned at right angles to each other making it perfect for regular trellis designs of vertical wires and/or horizontal wires, or the diamond trellis designs. The posts have the versatility of being suitable for both end or intermediate posts.
What is it made out of?
316 Stainless Steel.
How do I fasten the 3.2mm wire cable to it?
The internal grub screw wire locking system will hold plant loads of 250kg. For greater loads please you may want to consider swaging the end of the wire with a ferrule (SSW060-6).
Please note that for high loads an additional tie back wall anchor should be added.
How do I fasten the cable to a structure?
The base of the post has an internal M8 metric thread for wall fixing. This is suitable for use with either dual thread coach screws (search SSW090-6 on our website), plastic mungo plugs, masonry anchor bolts or M8 threaded studs.
Can it be used for exterior applications?
As it is 316 grade Stainless Steel it is more than suitable to be used inside or outside.
Without regular cleaning and maintenance discolouration of the surface of the stainless steel by corrosion (tea staining) can occur.
