Sloped Sedum
Sloped G黑料社s 鈥 How to Prevent Erosion and Transfer Shear Forces Safely
The system build-up 鈥淪loped Sedum鈥, based on the ZinCo 骋别辞谤补蝉迟别谤庐 elements, enables the installation of G黑料社s with slopes exceeding 20掳 and up to 35掳. Above 35掳 special solutions can be designed by the ZinCo engineers.
The 骋别辞谤补蝉迟别谤庐 elements are made of recycled polyethylene (HD-PE) and interlock without requiring tools, creating a stable structure. This structure is safely accessible and can be infilled with growing medium. The 骋别辞谤补蝉迟别谤庐 elements cater for plenty of space for the plant root systems to establish and develop. The plant selection has to be well adapted to the extreme conditions of a sloped roof, where the solar radiation is the highest on the south facing roof side and the water run-off is much faster compared to a flat roof. The irrigation should be planned for, even if it is only needed in times of drought. It can avoid gaps in the vegetation coverage, which would lead to erosion. A transfer of existing shear forces into stable eaves and into additional shear barriers is necessary.
骋别辞谤补蝉迟别谤庐 elements can also be installed under reinforced lawns, footway constructions, in slope protection, etc.

Note
The system solution shown relates to the green roof build-up in particular. The roof construction itself is only shown schematically and must be planned and executed according to specialist rules for waterproofed roofs.
