If you are a fan of climbing plants such as Virginia creeper or Banks’ rose and are looking for new solutions, we have one for you: using rigid mesh fencing! Our experts explain how to choose it, install it, and make it the perfect companion for your climbing plants.
Climbing Plants You Can Grow
Once your rigid mesh fencing is in place, all that remains is to let your imagination and preferences guide you in creating your natural green wall. Our experts share their 3 favorites:
Star Jasmine
Easy to maintain and hardy, withstanding both high heat and low temperatures thanks to its evergreen foliage! This climbing plant can thrive on a mesh structure. It is appreciated for its distinctive fragrance.
Clematis
Very popular, clematis is a distinctive climbing plant with year-round flowering. Hardy down to -20 degrees, clematis will enhance your garden even in challenging regions.
Rose
How could we not conclude with this classic? The climbing rose naturally features among the three plants we recommend. Decorative, the rose readily lends itself to climbing on a surface such as rigid mesh fencing when properly guided.
Finding the Surface to Install Your Rigid Mesh Fencing
Depending on your garden’s exposure and the plants you wish to help climb, there are several positions where you can install your rigid mesh fencing structure.
Against a Façade of Your Residence
With a rigid mesh panel, you can cover 2.50 m of surface area to allow your plants to develop. We recommend securing the mesh to the ground to prevent it from falling due to weather conditions or strong gusts of wind.
Once you have chosen the location, you have several options for securing your rigid mesh fencing to the ground:
Pouring a Concrete Screed in a Trench
For DIY enthusiasts, you can dig a trench and pour a concrete screed in which you position your mesh and allow it to set.
If you have the necessary equipment, you can neatly mold your base with your mesh and subsequently lower it into the trench dug beforehand.
Securing the Mesh to the Façade
After marking your positions on the wall, you will need to carry out the drilling, ensuring you select the correct diameter for the concrete anchors you will use. Once the holes are made, you can insert your concrete anchors and secure the screw pre-positioned in a clamp.
All that remains is to position your mesh and tighten your clamps to hold the structure in place.
Mesh Fencing You Can Use
At Districlos, we offer 2 types of rigid mesh fencing:
- Standard Rigid Mesh Fencing
This is the most common model we offer. Available in Pro range (4 or 5 mm wire), Pro+ (5 mm wire), and Brico+ (4 mm wire), the rigid mesh panel is an affordable and practical solution.
If you wish to create a green wall directly on the mesh, you can install the mesh on posts with base plates to create an elegant climbing plant wall in the middle of your garden.
- Barred Mesh Fencing
With its bars in random placement, you will create a distinctive elegance in your outdoor space. With a length of 2.48 m per panel, you can create a visible ornamental feature on your house façade or in your garden.
Which Climbing Plants Should You Avoid?
While it may be tempting to screen your rigid mesh fencing with a dense plant such as ivy, be careful! Certain climbing plants should be avoided due to weight or wind resistance. Learn more in our dedicated article on climbing plants to avoid on a fence.
