Abstract
A greenable wall element with at least one wall component oriented in the vertical direction or in the diagonal direction. The wall component delimits a cavity of the wall element is fillable with planting substrate, and has a multiplicity of plant openings through which plants rooting in the plant substrate can grow onto the side of the wall element directed away from the plant substrate. The at least one wall component has, at least in a subregion, a slatted grating formed from crossing groups of bars, of which a first group of spaced-apart parallel bars is oriented in the vertical or diagonal direction and of which a second group of spaced-apart parallel bars is oriented in the horizontal direction, and the plant openings are each bounded by adjacent horizontal and vertical or diagonal bars.
Claims11
A greenable wall element, comprising:
- at least one wall component (2) oriented in a vertical or a diagonal direction that delimits a cavity (4), between the at least one wall component (2) and a wall, that is filled with planting substrate (3), and the at least one wall component (2) has a multiplicity of planting openings (6) through which planting openings (6) plants (23) that are adapted to be rooted in the planting substrate (4) can grow onto a side of the wall element facing away from the planting substrate;
- the at least one wall component (2) has, at least in a subregion, a slatted grating formed from mutually crossing groups of bars (9, 10) of which a first group of spaced-apart parallel ones of the bars (9) is oriented in a vertical or diagonal direction and a second group of spaced-apart parallel ones of the bars (10) is oriented in a horizontal direction;
- the planting openings (6) are each bounded by adjacent horizontal and vertical or diagonal ones of the bars (9, 10), and the bars (10) oriented in the horizontal direction are angled obliquely upward toward an outer side of the wall element;
- wherein the slatted grating comprises a pressed grating, the bars (9) oriented in the vertical direction comprise supporting bars, and the bars (10) oriented in the horizontal direction comprise filling bars inserted into indentations (12) in the supporting bars (9);
- and
- the slatted grating is comprised of at least one of a metallic material, a non-metallic material, plastic or glass fiber reinforced plastic.
