Design Project - A Simple Trellis
A Simple Trellis

Looking for a simple inexpensive screen then try this.

All you need is two angle-sided metal posts of the desired height and tree prunnings.

Waratah stakes or 'Y' Posts will do.

Sticks for Trellis

Strip the bark off the tree prunings and it will last longer.

Sticks for Trellis

Similar material of the same diameter, such as driftwood, will work equally as well.









Place the posts the desired distance apart.

Trellis

Cut the wooden material at a length to fit snugly between the posts.

Wire into place with fine wire.

Wiring into place


This gives you a section of trellis that will protect plants from wind damage and make a visually attractive screen for the garden.
