Installation guide
Watch our video tutorial about measuring your space to install our green walls.
Step 1
Site Survey & Preparation
Measurement Calculation
Measure your wall (length × width) to calculate square metres and order enough panels to fully cover the chosen surface.
Reference Marking
Mark the starting and ending points on the wall or fence to guide your installation and keep the layout neat and aligned.
Access Verification
Ensure the wall area does not block switchboards, outlets, or other important access points that must remain available.
Rental Property Considerations
If you are renting, consider using removable adhesive hooks instead of drilling holes to avoid damage to the property.
Fire Safety Precautions
Do not install near open flames; even with fire-tested materials, this precaution prevents unnecessary risks or damage.
Step 2
Install Your First Panel
For concrete or brick walls
Mark and level the area where the panels will be installed.
Drill holes for wall plugs.

How to
Connect Panels
Snap panels in seconds, just align and snap for a seamless finish, couldn’t be easier!
Step 3
Secure The Second Panel
Using the holes and lugs along the panel you should now join the second panel (and subsequent panels) to the first panel.
Orient the Panels
Lay the panels flat and make sure they all face the same direction so the foliage pattern flows naturally without mismatched leaves.
Identify the Connectors
Locate the clips and lugs along the panel edges; these connectors are designed to snap together and hold the panels securely in position.
Snap Panels Together
Align the edges of two panels, pressing the clips into the lugs until they click, then check the joint to confirm the connection is tight.
Complete and Mount
Repeat the process to build the full surface, then mount the connected panels to a wall or frame using the suggested method.
Step 4
Continue The Same Process
Follow the above steps to secure remaining panels. You may need to cut the last vertical garden panel to accommodate, and to ensure the wall is completely filled.
If your wall is smaller than a full panel you can simply cut the excess off the vertical garden panel using scissors by cutting along the backing mesh.
Step 5
Ruffle The Foliage
After installing your vertical garden panels, gently fluff them to restore their shape, as they may be compressed from packaging.
