This is about ‘docking’ climbing aids and plants! 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.

Estimation of loads

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!

The courage to drill!

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.
