    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.
