Support system for constructing a privacy and noise protection barrier

A support system for a basket filled with a filler material for creating a privacy or noise protection barrier, said support system comprising:

• first support elements arranged in side-by-side spaced-apart relationship;
• second support elements arranged in opposition to the first support elements;
• horizontal cross ties interconnecting the first and second support elements on their insides at a distance from one another;
• said first and second support elements having recesses with openings that face outwardly in an installation position,
• mesh rods of mesh mats, said rods insertable in the recesses in a longitudinal direction of the support system, with the mesh rods of the mesh mats being spaced apart commensurate with distances between the recesses of the first and second support elements,
• the recesses having undercuts that formfittingly clamp the horizontal mesh rods of the mesh mats when the horizontal mesh rods are inserted in the recesses, the recesses further having associated supports forming an additional supporting structure in a transverse direction, which absorbs tensile and compressive forces of the inserted mesh mats and transmits them distributed over a wide surface area into the respective support element.
