Glass Bottle Infilled Feature Wall

[Dwong]

Hi, anyone could advise me any simple construction method of 125mm thk glass bottles infilled feature wall @ outdoor
or anyone have come across the similar feature wall ...

Length : 70 m
Height : 3.978 m

It have been cracking my head for the past few month......

A 4 metre high wall that's only 125mm thick. That's going to make a mess when it's blown over by the wind!

Is this a wind-up?

I calculate somewhere in the region of 50,000 bottles! , cut down to 125mm long. (70 x 4 / [π .04²], assuming the diameter of a bottle to be about 80mm )

If you're serious, you need to think about building a structure that is stable and sound then use the bottles as decorative features with liitle or no structural integrity.

Aye 125mm is absurd however there seems to be plenty of ideas out there http://www.google.co.uk/#sclient=ps...1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=905832ef87b24e09

Thanks to Redherring2 , actually the spec was using hot-dipped gi steel fixed structure as u mentioned. 4"x3" gi RHS as framing; 3"x2" gi RHS as vertical stiffeners & 2"x2"gi SHS as horizontal & diagonal bracers, covered with gi brc mesh cage & the gls bottles size 37mm dia x 93mm long with cap ; slog in & stack-up..
I've checked w/bottle supplier @ RM0/28 .
I wonder if there is any more economical method of doing instead of hot-dipped steel structure which cost sky high price..
Concrete base /cement base shall be more economic I think, but totally different feel ...

Anyway ; thanks a lot

Anyway the cost will be much cheaper i guess but only the feel...
TQ for your reply

Keeping the wall stable will be a real challenge, even with some tiny SHS/RHS in a framework.. gonna need some columns at regular centres.. unless you are tying the wall in top and bottom somehow..
