It is not completely outdoors because it has a glass canopy over it. <br /><br />First I should install a metallic or wood frame that works as an isolation layer from the wall. I guess it goes screwed to the wall, right? <br />Then, over it I put the corrugated plastic layer. Over it, goes the moisture retention mat or fabric which is thick enough to do pockets to plant inside them? I guess that part is not clear enough yet. I hope you can help me<br />Other question I have is about the irrigation system. You placed a PVC tube over your structure, and some vertical drilled pvc tubes to irrigate the entire wall? <br /><br />I really hope you can help me. Im from Bogota Colombia and I really want to be able to build my own greenwall.

Positioning of the wall would be important? Do plants suffer when you have changes in temperature such as heaters on in the house?<br />LesleyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02063890212520612498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897531484113664395.post-36573318829749850772010-05-20T16:23:19.626-07:002010-05-20T16:23:19.626-07:00@General Houseplant

Stainless steel, non-toxic plastics, or epoxied wood are better choices. You may also consider something readymade.

Appreciate all your how to information also. I'm curious about<br />the brick wall to the kitchen. Is that part of the building or did you build that into the design? In either case I really like it, and immediately thought of using all the bricks from our Victorian foundation for a project of my own.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365709703826887707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3897531484113664395.post-74135476197805157812010-05-06T03:41:27.267-07:002010-05-06T03:41:27.267-07:00Great work Matt.
