Please note that we have depicted various panels in this guide, including the boxwood hedge, however, all the non-metal backed panels are very similar with regards to their installation process.

How to install artificial hedges onto a timber fence?

Connect the panels together (using the clips or your own cable ties)
Cut the panels to the exact size required (our panels can be easily cut to size)
Staple the boxwood mat, or other hedge design or vertical garden directly onto the fence by securing the plastic matting to the surface

Note: We would recommend that for each green wall panel (1m x 1m) you staple 4 staples across the top and then 3 rows of 4 more staples to ensure secure attachment.

How To Install Green Walls Onto Colorbond Fences

How to install artificial hedges & green walls onto a metal fence? or colorbond fences

Attach timber beams vertically to the metal fence spaced at intervals of around 40cm. You can then add a horizontal beam across the top and bottom by attaching it to the vertical posts.
Attach the hedge panel or vertical garden / green wall to the timber beams, or directly into the fence using a screw and washer. We would suggest attaching the panels using around 12 screws + washers per meter panel of green wall.
Continue to join each panel using the clips and repeat step two ensuring to securely fasten your artificial hedge or green wall directly to the timber supports.

Note: You may also choose to attach your plant wall directly into the metal using a metal screw and washer combination, however, please note that this may not be suitable as the screws are likely to poke though into your neighbours property!

Please note that the timber can be attached at the top and bottom (using the capping) of the fence to avoid screws going through the metal and being exposed on the other side.

How to install artificial hedges & green walls onto a rendered wall or cement sheet fence

Begin by choosing your wall, and ensuring you have the correct tools, for a cement sheet wall we suggest you use: a drill, a cement sheet drill bit and cement sheet screws + washer.
Commence attaching your first panel, starting in a top corner. You will need to drill a hole in the top corner and then hold the green wall panel up and proceed to screw in. Ensure the top of the screw and washer covers the backing mesh of the vertical garden panel
Proceed to attach screws in a similar manner every 25cm.
Once your fist vertical garden panel is installed, clip the next panel to it (using the lugs on the panel), and proceed to screw in at 25cm intervals. You can then proceed to attach the bottom row by clipping onto the top row. Should there be any excess panel (height wise) you can time that off with scissors.
Once all panels are installed proceed to lightly pull on them and if any sections bulge add more screws / washers.

Please note that the timber can be attached at the top and bottom (using the capping) of the fence to avoid screws going through the metal and being exposed on the other side. Please refer to the install guide above for ‘metal fences’
