Betafence: Sturdy giving ions to the slope security
06.18.09
Giving ion walls to the slope security are built according to the principle of the gravity dam: The giving ion retaining wall lifts itself with its mass the resulting earth pressure against. Therefore is the stability of the baskets of crucial importance. By their natural stone filling and the possibility to the planting giving ion buildings harmonieren well with their environment. They are optical a responding alternative to conventional elements in the garden. The root work of the plants provides in the brick-work for additional stability.
Giving ions offer a high stability and elasticity. They hold for the highest climatic loads and variations in temperature conditions and ensure a naturally adjusted drainage by the good water permeability at the inside of the walls. They are suitable from there outstanding for the embankment protection: lining up water can run off unhindered.
For the retaining wall from giving ions the baskets are simply one on the other-laminated. As filling rock material can be used such as lime sandstone, basalt, granite or river flint. If individual baskets are perpendicularly posed to the tendency, the stability of the building increases.
Giving ions as building material are characterised by reliability and nature compatibility. The employment of the lattice baskets offers a high ecological utilizable value: A giving ion retaining wall can become to a species-rich habitat for small mammals, insects, reptiles and amphibians and serve them as NIST place, wintering possibility or hiding place. From various planting possibilities a complex ecological micro-system results. The garden and landscape gardening with giving ions is in ecological regard the building method of the future.
Betafence offers, the sturdy wire boxes in two different volume sizes, fillable with stones. They are available starting from 44 euros (per piece) in building and do-it-yourself enthusiast markets.
