VGM3 Planting Module
Overall dimensions 19-5/8"W x 22"H
Available in 6" (4" soil profile, .85 cu ft) and 10" (8" soil profile, 1.63 cu ft) depths

VGM3 Brackets & Rails
4 brackets required per module (2 "left" and 2 "right")
Designed for use with VGM3 rail system. Easily and quickly assembled to module once grow-in is complete.
Rails are available for one, two, and three modules (23-5/8" up to 70-7/8"L). Each rail can support one or two boxes set next to one another.
VGM3 Anti-Lift Arm
The VGM3 anti-lift arm, made of 100% post-consumer recycled polypropylene, is slipped into one of the 4 bracket attachment points. It prevents the module from being removed, or from shaking loose in a seismic or weather event. Available for both VGM3-06 and VGM3-10 systems.
VGM3 Media Block
Engineered to be the perfect complement to the VGM module.
Organic base material is stabilized into a sponge-like block that fits perfectly in the VGM module.
Requires no media bag, contains no friable material that will fall out of the wall.
Absorbs up to five times its weight in water, but only weighs 40 lbs/pcf.
Facilitates even irrigation, faster grow in and optimal plant health.
Availability
VGM products are typically carried in stock, and smaller orders can be turned around in 3-5 days. Larger orders may require 6-8 weeks for production.
Other Information
VGM living wall modules are shipped flat, for assembly at the nursery.
Modules are typically filled with VGM media block or inorganic soil media when vertical, then planted on their backs.
Each planting window has additional soil retention straps. Should 4" or larger plants be used, the retention straps will need to be trimmed away.
The VGM3 system has been tested for wind loads to 68mph.
