More about this product

The Webnet© system from Jakob can be used to create green courtyards and atriums. Various shapes and dimensions can be achieved with the rope and net structures. Using climbing structures to add greenery to courtyards is an innovative approach to enhancing urban spaces, offering improved comfort and aesthetics.

Versatile Forms and Sizes

Climbing structures for greening consist of support ropes stretched horizontally and attached to the building structure, typically on the courtyard or atrium walls. The actual climbing structures, such as ropes, nets, rings, and other forms, are then attached to the support cables. This versatility allows for greening projects with various shapes and dimensions, including cylindrical shapes, blunt cones, irregular shapes, vertical tendril ropes combined with rings, and horizontally or vertically stretched nets.

Improved Acoustics and Aesthetics

Greening structures in buildings and courtyards create visual, acoustic, and olfactory enhancements. Spaces once empty now flourish with green growth, providing a lively atmosphere. Plants help to reduce noise levels and produce subtle fragrances from inflorescences and natural vegetation, making stays in courtyards and atriums more enjoyable.

Planning and installation

Typically, a design by architects and landscape designers serves as the starting point. Landscape planners then select appropriate plants and growth forms. Using these specifications, Jakob Rope Systems designs ideal climbing structures for the greenery, taking into account factors such as plant weight, desired growth patterns, and forces acting on attachment points. From these parameters, Jakob develops the appropriate dimensions of supporting ropes and tendril structures.

Types of Green Structures

Greenery grows from plant pots or vessels of various shapes placed near the ground or distributed over tiers. High-growing plants can grow from the bottom, while shorter plants can be integrated on higher tiers. Ground-level planters are often combined with seating.

Common Queries About the Structure

Attaching the Structure
  • Attached to courtyard walls, usually at the level of adjacent room floors
  • The points are determined by Jakob during the planning stage by consulting with structural engineers
Fire Protection
  • Specifications and standards are met for different locations by consulting with fire protection authorities at every planning stage
Irrigation
  • Automatic irrigation systems are planned by landscape designers to deliver water and nutrients to plant containers
  • Include integrated sensors to adapt to climatic conditions and plant needs
Lifespan
  • When properly installed, the structures can last between 30 to 50 years
Maintenance
  • Plants required care such as nutrient supply, pruning, and cleaning when leaves are shed
  • The tensile forces acting on support ropes are checked at certain intervals (recommended every 3-5 years depending on growth)
