5 Ways To Add Style With A
Garden Trellis
A garden trellis is normally used only for
providing a framework on which creepers and vines
can grow. A trellis can do so much more than
this, though. Here are 5 practical and elegant
ways to use a trellis to add functionality and
style to your garden.
1. As
a garden divider.
A trellis can be made to be free standing,
anywhere in a garden. This enables you to use one
or more trellises to divide a garden into
separate and distinct areas, where you may have
different themes or styles. Quick-growing
climbing plants, such as morning glories,
clematis, or honeysuckle will provide a quick way
to screen one area from another, while adding an
element of interest and beauty.
2. To decorate a blank wall.
A
large section of blank wall can easily be turned
into an attractive focal point by the addition of
a decorative trellis. A trellis can be made of
horizontal, vertical or diagonal bars, and can be
spaced and arranged to form a graceful and
elegant structure. Place a small fountain in
front of the trellis, and flank it with a pair of
potted, flowering shrubs, and you can create a
stunning visual effect. Arranging patio lighting
to accent the trellis at night can create an
exquisite display.
3. To screen an unsightly area.
There may be areas in your garden which you do
not want to see. A compost heap, pool pump, gas
bottles, refuse bins, whatever. These can be
easily obscured with a trellis, be it free
standing or bolted to a wall. A gate can easily
be attached to deny access to children or dogs.
Plant an attractive flowering creeper to turn an
unsightly area into an inexpensive and easy to
maintain flowering wall.
4. To raise a wall.
If you
want to increase your privacy or help reduce
traffic noise, you can use a trellis to raise a
wall. A trellis can be bolted directly to a brick
wall, or hung on a precast or wooden wall. You do
not need council permission to hang a trellis on
a wall, so it is an easy and inexpensive way to
increase height. Train a fast growing flowering
creeper up to the trellis and you will soon have
a beautifully accented wall, with the added bonus
of increased privacy and reduced noise.
5. As a robust support for vines.
A
steel trellis is immensely strong, and can safely
support the biggest of creepers or vines. You can
allow a flowerless creeper to create a dark green
backdrop on a trellis, then hang a planter of
flowers to add life and colour to a corner of
your garden or patio. Place a trellis in a
prominent position in your garden to show off
your favourite flowering vines, and to present
your garden in its true colors.

All items are shotblasted, molten zinc sprayed and painted with two coats
of enamel. Using molten zinc spray instead of
galvanising ensures that the gates will have the
best corrosion protection, while providing a
textured surface which will ensure that the paint
never peels of flakes. Robust brackets provide
secure, vandal proof mounting points.

Need more privacy in your
garden? Use a wall mounted trellis to effectively
raise the wall without needing council approval
or plans. Installation takes only a few minutes
per trellis, and leaves no mess. Creepers have
excellent support, and will soon obscure the
neighbours.
