Webnet System for Green Courtyards | Jakob

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.
