Living Walls are comprised of a grid or frame of timber or profiled aluminium “studs”. This frame is secured to the outside of a building and a sheet of fabric with planting pockets is attached. A micro / drip irrigation line is installed across the top of each horizontal stud to feed and water the plants at each level. These irrigation lines are routed back to a control box containing the supply tanks, pumps, solenoid values and the main controller.
