A green wall featuring Jasmine climbing on balustrade hardware.
The project
I recently turned a brick wall in my outdoor space into a climbing jasmine green wall. I'd been looking for a way to do this for a long time and was keen on a minimalist and low-cost solution.
Using balustrade hardware from Pinnacle at Bunnings, I created several rows of metal wire rope that the Jasmine is now climbing up. Thought it might offer a little inspiration for anyone looking to add greenery to their outdoor space as well.
These are the items you will need.
First, I sketched up a rough plan, having six wires spaced equally apart.
I fitted the brackets to the wall.
Then I cut the wire rope to length, allowing approximately 20cm more to loop the balustrade fixings.
Then I added the balustrade fixings.
Here's a close-up of how it fixes to the wall with the wire rope taut.
This is the final result.
I then added some pots in front and planted my Jasmine. I potted the plants into the rectangular pots as this is a tiled outdoor area. If we had a garden bed, I wouldn't have bothered with the pots, though.
It's taking off and I can't wait until the full wall is flowering.
