How do I fit artificial wall panels?

Top Tips:

*Use the holes within the plastic netting (square with diagonals and central hole in each corner + 200 mm along the edges) for the fixings. These are the strongest and hide the fixings within the foliage.

*Don’t use the outer male/ female clips along the perimeter that join the panels as holes for fixings.

*Check for pipes or wires that maybe within a wall surface prior to drilling anything into walls for peace of mind and your safety

Fixing onto Timber (fences/ frames/ trellis) or stud walls:

• You can use a heavy duty staple gun. Fix each corner + every 150 mm to 200 mm along the perimeter. This is usually the best option as it will not have any fixings protruding the other side= happy neighbours
• Or you can use metal washers + 5 mm head screws to secure in place. Fix each corner + every 150 mm – 200 mm along the perimeter. Just make sure the screws don’t penetrate and show on the other side if visible*
• Zip ties- if you have gaps in the support frame you can tie the panels in place.

Brick/ block or rendered walls:

For smaller installs.

• Simply raw plug into the wall. Then add a metal washer + 5 mm head screw. Fix each corner + every 150 mm to 200 mm along the perimeter
• Or you can build a treated timber frame. Spacing the batons every 50 cm + the full perimeter. Then fix in place using the above timber options.

For bigger installs or trouble with getting mass fixings into block works:

• Fit a ply or plastic stock board (for any outdoor wood make sure its treated or marine grade ply) to the wall surface and staple gun the panels in place
• Or fit a metal wire mesh/ grid (ensure its galvanised for outdoor walls) to the wall surface. You can then zip tie our panels/ plants to this to secure in place.
