TRANSFORM GARDEN WALLS

& STRUCTURES

WITH THE PLATIPUS G-WALL ®

With Garden and Landscape Contractors as an initial focus , we intentionally manufactured G-WALL ® using new structural engineering plastic so it is highly UV resistant , provides strength and longevity which is unachievable with recycled plastic . This means your contribution to improve the environment will remain effective and vibrant for decades . And at the end of its life G-WALL ® is fully recyclable .
The extensive benefits associated with the creation of living walls have been well established and their importance will only grow as we seek to improve our environment .
The Platipus G-WALL ® Modular Living Wall System was developed as a viable solution for everyone from the designer , contractor and end user allowing them to enjoy the many benefits it brings and support the advantages of vertical greening .
Every area , no matter how small , has some vertical space , be it a wall or other suitable structure , that is perfect for populating with plants . G-WALL ® is an easy to install modular system that will allow everybody to transform bare boundaries or spaces into vibrant colourful living walls .
To encourage more living walls to be used we made G-WALL ® simple to assemble and install .
Using individual cells , measuring 25cm x 25cm with an integrated jigsaw design , vertical and horizontal expansion is easy to achieve allowing every area to be maximised . In addition , the system can be secured directly to any surface or structure removing the need for complicated hanging grids and membranes . G-WALL ® also takes standard 13 - 16mm irrigation pipe allowing you to tailor every living wall solution to the end user ’ s exact maintenance requirements .
To ensure customer ’ s living walls remain full and vibrant all year round you can use a variety of seasonal plants and specimens through an ongoing support and maintenance program . Regular inspections will also allow for any underperforming varieties to be spotted early and replaced making sure living walls are always healthy and colourful .
G-WALL ® is available at the Platipus Direct website or through a growing network of resellers and distributors in the UK . You can also see G-WALL ® at this year ’ s RHS Malvern Spring Festival ( 5 - 8 May ) and RHS Hampton Court Garden Festival ( 4 - 9 July ).
