Mobilane Green Screen This patented system by Mobilane consists of individual Screens, covered with various species of climbing or hedging plants. Within one growing season it creates a dense, fully covered green screen. The plants are supported by an extremely strong metal frame and are grown in potting soil in a biodegradable cocopot. After planting the hedge the cocopot will biodegrade into the ground and the plants will root in the surrounding soil. The Green Screen requires minimal maintenance. The Benefits: Instant security provided by a 5mm weld mesh galvanized high carbon steel security fence bio diversity footprint pollution 4m available height (Ivy and Jasmine only) steel frame Mobilane1-2011
