any experience with these would be appreciated including any sections you've written...

We will happily exchange our spec when written.
Both interior and exterior walls are anticipated.

Marc, I specified a Greenwalls system for a project but it priced out so high that the owner opted for interior plantings and fountains (losing floor space was more economical!) Between structure, piping, maintenance and other issues, the owner decided it was a neat idea ahead of its time (at least for him). I have used Greenscreen at exterior applications with pretty good success as far as I know.

Unfortunately this was with previous firms. I didn't keep a copy of the specs. Sorry.

Marc,
What's your e-mail address. I have written both interior and exterior types...except both are very basic prescriptive/product format.

Marc:

If you are looking for what is also known as green screens - fences designed to accommodate vegetation, try this:

The closest thing I have is a factory-fabricated, factory-finished trellis system. It can be freestanding between steel tube posts or bolted to an exterior wall. Plant climbing growies beneath it and presto! Green wall.

If that'd help, let me know.
