The humble trellis has come a long way—have a look at these stylish garden trellis designs

The trellis, a two-dimensional structure that supports climbing plants, comes in so many variations these days that you'll be hard pressed to find a trellis style or size that doesn't fit your garden space. Trellises look good all on their own, from the simple garden trellis featuring a square top, fan and classic grid pattern, to trellises with charming embellishments, such as arched tops and diamond or circle patterns.

Trellis kits are simple to order online, and come with the materials pre-cut and pre-drilled. Assembly is easy too, and most trellises can be completed in one or two days.

Another attractive feature of building your own trellis, is your choice of materials. Trellises can be low-maintenance vinyl, which never needs painting, staining, or sealing and won't fade or yellow. Cedar or pine are other traditional materials for trellis kits. Iron and copper trellises are also available.
