Green Solutions
Greening in a new dimension
Green Solutions
Green Façades – the support of vines and climbing plants in a vertical structure to contribute environmental performance and benefits – gain new dimensions with Jakob Rope Systems.
With more than 30 years of experience, Jakob can advise owners and designers on the use of cost-efficient, adaptable and beautiful trellising solutions that can provide passive environmental services and performance benefits.
Green Façades that are both durable, functional and aesthetically pleasing require thoughtful and thorough planning. An understanding of the micro-climatic context of the project is needed, including wind and sun exposure data, detailed knowledge of architectural and structural characteristics and access to the facade for plant maintenance
Consideration should be given to the appropriate choice of plant varieties and their needs for irrigation, nutrition and light. Attention to these criteria can enhance the environmental performance services of the green façade.
The Jakob GreenSolutions range consists of three categories of products, each including components that that can satisfy the varying needs of green facade projects according to their size, complexity and demands.
These categories are:
- Modular greening systems
- GreenKit Package
- Customized solutions.

Customized Greening Solutions
Jakob offers capable and comprehensive products and services to realize large scale green projects such as walls or skyscrapers, far exceeding the structural limitations of rigid, rectangular trellis panel or modular soil containment systems. Our stainless steel Webnet, cables and accessories are used in green facade projects across the globe due to their durability, strength and adaptability to most structural and climatic situations.
Our experience and long-standing collaboration with landscape architects and green façade horticultural experts helps us to find the best greening concept for your project. We plan and design or adapt to the support structure, supply the Webnet, stainless steel cable and hardware to ensure professional installation and maintenance protocols
GreenGuide stands for a light, flexible trellis system with appealing design possibilities. It is suitable for all types of climbers. The system is modular and can be adapted to the scale of your project. It offers very high-quality parts and much flexibility in design at very low costs.
GreenGuide can be installed as a single cable or turned into a trellis of any size with the help of horizontal bars. GreenGuide is available as complete sets including the necessary spacers and assembly parts. The length of the cable assemblies can be chosen according to site, strength and span requirements
GreenTrellis is a simple, modular trellis system adapted for partial and large-size facades, especially on concrete walls. A horizontal bar anchors the vertical cables and offers higher stability and easier installation. By adding horizontal bars, grids can be created according to the needs of the project and plant requirements. A security mechanism protects the cables and the carrying structure from overload due to excessive plant weight, wind, snow or other loads.
GreenTrellis is suitable for many types of climbing plants. It comes delivered as a set with all necessary parts for assembly.
The stainless steel wire mesh Webnet is suitable for many types of climbing plants. It comes delivered as a set with all necessary parts for assembly.
The stainless steel wire mesh Webnet is a uniquely ingenious product. Its efficient design is matched by its elegant simplicity, perfect for medium to large green façade trellises.. With the corresponding spacers and connecting parts, the net forms a modular system that can be easily and efficiently scaled to the size of your project. Cable diameter and mesh aperture are specially adapted to climbing plants and their typical loads on facades.
Webnet is a design solution for dense façade greening and plants with a high leaf area coefficient, useful for passive binding of airborne dust particles, shading of balconies and glazed areas, refracting traffic noise and other environmental services such as providing passive cooling and shade by evapotranspiration and bio-diverse habitat for birds and insects. A vegetated Webnet can provide the performance functions of a unique fractal screen, a green tapestry offering both aesthetic beauty, privacy and inobtrusive security.
D.I.Y. Green Kit and New System
GreenKit is a complete set of cables, spacers, and accessories for the creation of functional and beautiful green facades. GreenKit offers creative opportunities and elements for the creation of orthogonal green facades at low cost. The primary component hardware is made from marine grade stainless steel and includes HDPE spacers. The high-quality materials and production guarantee a long life and a slender, robust support for your green façade plants , indoors and outdoors.
Webnet Frames combine the advantages of Webnet with ease of installation for façade greening. Webnet Frames are stainless steel profiles with a pre-installed Webnet, making trellis frames installation quick and easy. Standard sized Frames are cost-efficient and easy to use, while bespoke, Webnet Frames are made to measure and fit precisely to your needs. The Webnet cable diameter and mesh aperture adapts perfectly to the needs of climbing plants.
By combining Webnet Frames with appropriately-sized planters, installation of Webnet trellis frames on walls or facades up to three meters is possible. Webnet Trellis Frames can be installed as repetitive motifs of vegetated areas in a wide range of design options.
