Artificial Hedge Walls: Cover a Wall with Artificial Hedging
An artificial hedge wall turns a bare brick wall, rendered garden wall, tired fence or plain interior wall into solid greenery in a day. There is no soil, no irrigation and no trimming, and the panels can be cut to fit around windows, pipes and corners.

How to fix artificial hedging to a wall
| Wall or surface | How to fix it |
|---|---|
| Brick, block, stone or render | Build a batten-and-mesh frame: screw timber battens to the wall every 40–60cm, staple galvanised mesh across them, then cable-tie the panels to the mesh. |
| Timber fence or cladding | Fix the mesh backing straight to the timber with U-nails. |
| Wire mesh, railings or trellis | Fix with cable ties through the mesh backing. |
| Indoor walls | Use the same batten-and-mesh frame, with fixings suited to your wall. |
The tiles and panels clip together on their mesh backing, so the joins disappear into the foliage. The backing cuts with scissors or secateurs to fit around windows, downpipes and the top of the wall. Battens are easy to buy from any local timber merchant. See the full installation guide.
How many panels do I need for a wall?
Four 50cm x 50cm tiles or one 1m x 1m panel cover a square metre. Work row by row so you allow for cut panels at the edges. For example, a 3.6m x 1.8m wall needs 8 tiles across and 4 rows of tiles, so 32 tiles. The hedge calculator works it out for you and adds the right quantity to your basket.
Bulk savings: save 5% on 10m² or more of one size and 10% on 20m² or more. The saving is applied automatically in your basket.
Hedge walls on commercial buildings
If your wall is on a commercial, rented or shared building and a reaction-to-fire class is required, choose one of our two fire-classified panels, Garden Hedge or Tropic Garden. Both are classified B-s3, d0 to EN 13501-1:2018 when mechanically fixed to a non-combustible A1 or A2 substrate.
Talk to us first about any wall that needs a fire classification. We will confirm whether the panels suit your situation and send you the SGS test report. See our commercial and trade page.
Artificial hedge wall FAQs
Will an artificial hedge wall damage my brickwork?
With a batten-and-mesh frame, the only fixings in the wall are the batten screws, and the panels sit on the mesh rather than against the brick.
Can I use artificial hedging on an indoor wall?
Yes. The panels are suitable indoors and outdoors, and are often used for reception walls, home offices and shopfronts.
How do I keep it looking good?
Rinse it occasionally with clean water and brush the leaves by hand if they get flattened. There is no watering, feeding or trimming.
Can I see it before I buy?
Yes. Order a £4.99 sample of any tile or panel and hold it against your wall.
