Typical build-up of an external living wall (we also offer other build-ups but this is the standard):

1. Indicative brick or concrete surface

3. Waterproof membrane
4. 48x12mm ANS Fixing Rail
5. Osma Squareline Gutter or client specified
6. ANS Living Wall Module 500x250x100mm
7. 16mm vertical irrigation pipe
