Garden Trellises

Trellis Designs
There are many garden trellises to choose from. Some prefer a
metal trellis, then there are the twig trellis and
the wire trellis.
You can even make your own trellis by building a trellis yourself, or from a trellis kit, available at garden
centers.
A trellis is very versatile and can be used against a wall, or as a screen, or as a division within a garden,
while still allowing air and light to pass through.
Metal Trellis

A Metal Trellis is a more formal type of garden trellis. It's actually more of a garden sculpture because a metal
trellis look good by themselves without any plants climbing over them.
Planter Trellis

A planter trellis is great for a small garden on a balcony, deck or patio where it serves as a privacy trellis
as well as a planter for a climbing rose or other climbing vine.
Planter trellises can be bought ready made at garden centers. They come in vinyl as well as wood such as cedar
Wood Trellis

A wood trellis is a commonly used form of climbing roses suport. Wood trellises can be painted or stained to
match a color scheme. They are also very inexpensive and less costly than metal trellises.
Wire Trellis

A wire trellis is probably the easiest of all the trellises to build. Simply string galvanized wire
between posts, about 8-12 inches apart.
Then place your climber in the middle of the posts and train the plant horizontally by tying the canes or vines
to the wire using plastic strech tape.
Twig Trellis

I adore twig trellises. They are so charming and look beautiful in a cottage garden or a country garden. They
are easy to make as well.
I made a twig trellis for my sweet peas and placed it in the middle of my raised vegetable bed. It really
made my vegetable garden look great.
Build A Trellis
Building a Trellis is relatively easy. You can purchase wooden slats and simply staple them together using a
staple gun. Then just spray paint the trellis in the color of your choice.
