Diarmuid Gavin brought the fascinating opportunities offered by stainless steel architectural woven wire mesh to thousands when he chose to use it as the main feature in his Garden of Adventure episode from the groundbreaking BBC television programme Homefront in the Garden.

The main focal point of the programme was an imposing 30ft elliptical tunnel constructed using Coniston architectural woven wire mesh suspended over a river of tropical plants.

Lastly a bath house was constructed at the bottom of the garden clad with Serenity type mesh to create a subtly translucent screen. These features combined to provide Diarmuid's 'maddest' creation yet, but looked fabulous particularly when enhanced by colour lighting.

At the forefront of wire mesh design, Potter and Soar were well placed to work with Diarmuid to achieve the contemporary look he wanted to create. Despite our extensive experience of working with architects and designers, we are becoming increasingly aware that there really is no limit to the new and interesting applications to which our material can be supplied.
