Vertical Grow Walls

Vertical Wall Irrigation

From herbs to vegetables to flowers, you can cover your walls with the plants of your choosing. Beyond the aesthetic of a living wall, they present numerous benefits that can’t be overlooked. You also get the effects of cleaner air, eco-friendly grown plants and even reduced room temperatures due to the absorption of light. The original type of living walls involved a lot of tedious hand watering for the individual pots. We are presenting you a new way of irrigating these walls to make them more advantageous than they’ve ever been. You can run discreet tubing across the rows of plants to irrigate the plants and make the process completely hands free. You can set up the living wall on a timer and have a self-sustaining living wall.

Below we will outline a few of the different methods using a multitude of our excellent drip irrigation products, but overall, the technique is the same.

Horizontal Rows - Most common method

Vertical Wall with DET Soaker Hose

This setup is the easiest to install but the DET Soaker Hose is only available in 6" and 12" emitter spacing so your vertical grow wall will most likely have plants out of sync with the spacing. This setup is excellent if you have consistent spacing between your plants. If you want spacing other than 6" or 12", then the next example is perfect for you.

Vertical Wall with Micro Tubing and ILE Emitters

This example allows you to create your own custom spaced drip emitter tubing. The ILE (In-Line) Emitters can be installed in line of 1/4" micro tubing to perfectly match up with your plants. It is easy to install and gives you the most accurate irrigation of your vertical grow wall.

Vertical Wall with Solid Poly Tubing

This type of Vertical Wall utilizes 1/2" Poly Tubing to supply the height and width of the grow wall. Using self-piercing pressure compensated emitters you have full control over where you want the drippers to be located. 

Vertical Columns

Vertical Columns are less common than horizontal rows because vertical lines are harder to line up with every plant. When there are a lot of plants on the wall, it is easier to line the plants up in a row versus in a column.

Some clients like this method because it allows them to use gravity to create trickle down effects.
