Gorgeous copper trellis’ and
arbors make an elegant design feature for the
garden.
Copper trellis’
and garden arbors make an elegant and graceful
feature in any garden. There’s a wide range of
beautifully designed copper trellis’ and arbors in a
wonderful variety of sizes, shapes and styles.
Whether you desire an elegant English country garden
look or a uniquely styled contemporary sculpture,
you’ll find plenty of inspiration if you do a little
searching around online or at your local landscaping
or garden supplies store. Copper trellis’ and arbors
are designed to support delicate roses and other
climbing plants, to create a magnificent vertical
flower garden. You can place the trellis against a
fence or wall to turn a dull empty space into an
elegant garden design feature.
Installing copper trellis’ and
arbors.
One of the great attractions of copper trellis’
and arbors is that they’re so easy to install. You
can buy them as kits, which contain everything you
need to set them up, including all the necessary
mounting brackets, and you won’t normally need any
additional tools. The copper tubing is very light
and easy to handle, and it’s maintenance free for
life once the trellis has been installed. In fact,
the material is very similar to copper piping used
for plumbing, so it’s exceptionally durable and rust
resistant.
Setting a suitable foundation is naturally very
important, and you should keep in mind the eventual
weight of the plant the trellis or arbor will need
to support when installing the structure. Trellis
kits normally include foundation posts, which you
need to bury in three feet deep post holes with a
few inches of gravel at the bottom for stability and
drainage. Larger arbors
may require concrete reinforcement in the post
holes, so you may need a few carpentry skills to set
the structure in a strong, vertical position over
the foundation.
