Climbing plants
These species develop structures with which they can make solid fences or less stable Wire mesh(€ 16.49 at Amazon *) can climb. They represent a classic variant of the green fence and follow the structures of the climbing aid. However, you should choose the plants depending on the material used, as some species develop a high dead weight. The ornamental gourd requires sturdy fences while Nasturtiums, Clematis and vetches find support on wire structures.
Spreading climber
Plants from this group develop spines with which they can find a hold on the climbing aid. Plastic fences are ideal for trees such as Firethorn, because they are durable and robust. Cleaning is comparatively easy as long as the vegetation is not too dense.
Climbing roses, the branches of which can develop a higher volume, feel comfortable on aluminum fences. With both types of fence, it is important that these plants are supported by horizontally arranged climbing aids.Tips
If you want to green metal fences, you have to take into account the increased moisture build-up. You should therefore only plant elements made of rustproof materials.
Creepers
These climbing artists include many herbaceous plants that wrap themselves around the trellis with the help of their shoots and leaves. Typical representatives of this category are honeysuckle, Knotweed and hops. Just as impressive are morning glories, which ensure a quick greening, or the blooming wisteria. All you need is fence posts driven vertically into the ground. In this way, they ensure punctual and columnar greening.
Self climber
Plant species that develop special adhesive organs get by without any trellises. They attach themselves to the subsurface with adhesive roots. This requires a suitable surface that enables adhesion. Fences with a rough surface, the elements of which are attached with a small distance from one another, make sense. If this is not the case, you should stretch cords on the fence. In addition to ivy belong Climbing hydrangeas or maiden vines in this group of climbing plants.
