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.
