When can I use a Basic-S Kit?

While “Basic Small” Kits are intended rather for small surfaces in the private sector, they are a good fit for many plants. If you know which plant you want to trellis, review the individual climbing plants for Basic-S compatibility. Like all Easy Kits, Basic-S is not suitable for heavy loads or representative purposes. They are rather suited for smaller outbuildings, wooden constructions, etc.. Please also view the section on Planning for more general information and support.

Wall Mount / Wall Type

Basic-S Kits are compatible with many wall types, sometimes even for prefab-garages. If used without rawl plugs/dowels, they can be assembled directly into framework, pergolas, etc.. Due to the shallow anchorage, these kits are less suitable for plastered masonry. The standard anchor for this kit is the WH 06060 eyebolt with a 6mm shaft. The cables are attached to the eyelets by forming a loop which is secured with a cable clamp (clamps come with kit). Turnbuckles and thimbles are not necessary and not included. Should you want a different type of eye bolt/eyelet screw (choose based on price, design, desired screw size, hole diameter, and wall type), you can assemble your order individually in the online shop. A high quality alternative, for instance, is the WH 06061.
