Ideas for Trellising

Welcome to Fassadengrün. We specialise in facade greening ~ transforming facades into living walls with climbing plants and the trellises to support them. We sell wire rope systems made of high-grade stainless steel, the climbing plants themselves, and fixtures for metal, wood, and bamboo trellises. Roof greening also comes under our domain, as well as any landscaping that has to do with the 'face' of a house. Vine trellises and climbing plants can greatly enhance the aesthetics of your home. We would like to accompany you into this world! It all begins with gathering ideas, inspirations, and a plan...

Our advice if you are uncertain or new at this is: take your time, don't rush, and use the following sections to help you design your plan. Compare 1 or 2 different realistic possibilities so you can develop a model which can be implemented clearly and correctly. After you've found what you need under 'Ideas,' the next step will be choosing your climbing plants...

Your ideas - our advice

How can we help you? The best way, of course, is to use our homepage to find answers to your questions! If you then buy plants and climbing aids, we will send you the goods...

If you are unsure and want to discuss your ‘idea’ with us, we are attentive and listen. We will try to understand your idea and will be happy to advise you. We will give you tips on where to find answers to your questions on our extensive homepage. We will either guide you to the relevant page over the phone or send you a link. We will be happy to look at photos or sketches of your project and discuss them with you.

Motivation

But before we embark on a project, let's go deeper and ask: Why do you want to green? In other words: What is your motive? That's why our homepage starts with this section: Why greening? Because if the motivation is clear, the following steps are easier, both for you and for us.


A motive can also be: You have an official requirement and MUST green, but want to save money. We can help there too!

Mission statements

The idea usually includes a model.This can be a magazine photo or a greenery spotted on your last holiday, i.e. usually a good example. Or a photo from the time your house was built, e.g. from 1920, with a vine trellis... Some people, on the other hand, only have a vague idea of what they want as a model, which still needs to be honed!

And you can sharpen your vision on our homepage, under ‘Style eras’, ‘Concepts’ and ‘Regions’ you will find suggestions. Under ‘Parts of buildings’ and ‘Objects’ you can check the feasibility of realisation, e.g. by selecting suitable plants.

It may also turn out that you do not yet have a mission statement. For example, if you want to do ‘something for the climate’ on your façade, but don't know what exactly. Then you can find examples here, or we can help you!

Examples

Below is a ‘smorgasbord’ of examples. What is otherwise organised on the website is mixed here. A pool of suggestions, so to speak!

Here you will find examples that can serve as models. There are more pictures of “modern” buildings in particular under “Bauhaus-style”.
