  Manufacturers of free standing monoliths

  Posted by Sharon Hicks on 25 May 2006 at 11:40

  Hi All,

  I need to source a couple of free standing monoliths to put into grassed areas on a posh business park. The client doesn’t have a huge budget, I need something 2.5m high by 1m wide. Single sided.
  Historically I use Spandex or Ashby systems, but I’m quoting this on the Vista system.
  I just wondered if anybody had used this system for external locations, and what feedback you can give me please.

  Now there’s a project for a Thursday afternoon….

  I think Russ from Ireland on these boards used something similar.

  He has been AWOL recently, but he may see this thread and reply.

  Cheers

  Hiya Sharon,
  I’ve used Vista on a few projects. The largest was about 4′ x 8′.
  
  
  The one thing you have to be careful of is if you don’t secure the face with some sort of mechanical fastener, it will blow out when a good wind gust comes along. Guess how I know 🙁
  As much as I like Vista, if I was given a choice I would look at something else for larger exterior applications. After our first project, Vista later recommended that you use fasteners on all exterior faces that are larger than, I beleive, the V400.
