Unique rock wall for drip cooling can be made affordably
Our architect, Ted Mengers, recommended making this gorgeous and unique pebble wall enclosed in wire mesh for catching and cooling breezes on our landscape. The possibilities are limitless, and we're considering using these dry pebble walls for surrounding our carport and storage for our rainwater collection tanks...

WALL
EXTERIOR WALLS, EVEN!!
They should be cheap to make with wire mesh and odd size pebbles... and it looks beautiful in a very organic way.

totally beautiful, has sort of a modern bali feel to it. - maxmsf
Found out these are called Gabion walls. You can buy the wire baskets premade called Gabion baskets. They are quite labor intensive to bend the wires by hand and the premade ones are probably a lot stronger, but I suppose it depends on how thick and strong you need it to be.
