Here we'll address the different possibilites for anchoring cable systems to walls and facades. Our stainless steel cable trellis kits are suitable for almost every type of wall. In most cases, you won't need to consider the issue of rawl plugs (dowels), with the exception of thin-walled prefab (concrete) garages, wooden cladding / various special coverings, or insulation. At the same time, every climbing aid and system is only as good as its attachment/anchorage! (That is, how well was it installed?... were all the necessary steps followed, and was the right method used for the respective wall or façade?) Under Installation, you will find all the information you need to properly assemble and install your wire rope system. Lastly, you can choose binding material for your climbing plants.

For fastening climbing plants
What “loads” will your fastening absorb? In the case of ropes, this starts with the pre-tension, i.e. the force with which the rope is pulled taut or tensioned. For heavy constructions, the weight of the trellis plays a role. Finally, the actual plant weight, including leaves, trunk structure and fruit. Added to this are wind pressure and possibly also wind suction, and in the worst case, ice loads due to freezing wetness...
If the anchors have been selected to suit the plant (with our help if required), they are designed to withstand all these loads. However, the plants must also be pruned so that the loads remain manageable!
In principle, all FassadenGrün components are also “do-it-yourself” parts. Even our sophisticated XP brackets can be installed by any DIY enthusiast. Our tips on “drilling work” will help you to overcome any inhibitions you may have...
For difficult facades and large surfaces and heights, there is of course a transition to the “professional area”. The following picture galleries show impressions of construction sites in the private and commercial sectors.
Don't forget: your greenery needs care. Don't leave your plants alone, keep at it!
