Trellis Screens

Archive for the ‘About Trellis Screens’ Category

One of several trellis that I’m making for the Garden. Growing vertically helps to save room as well as keep your fruits and vegetables from either rotting or being eating on the garden floor.

I found my inspiration at trellisplans.org

Trellis Rings are a fantastically simple way to lliven up an empty trellis. They simply hook over the horizontal struts of fan, square or rectangular trellis and even fit into the criss-cross ‘V’ section of diamond trellis. Trellis Rings are available to hold standard flowerpots and containers with rim-to-rim diameters od 5″/12.5cm, 6″/15cm and 7″/17.5cm. They are available in a choice of either dark green or terracotta colour.

How to make a Garden Trellis out of a baby crib

Whenever I’m designing elements for my garden, I always keep in mind, that the more natural they are the better they seem to fit in and that’s exactly what I did when I created this rustic trellis. But others have taken this idea a step further. Jim Long, author of the book Making Bentwood Arbors and Trellises, explains how to create these artistic garden ornaments. Jim Long, Author: I find that lots of people can’t identify wood so, my rule of thumb is, if it bends use it. And one of the nice things about this project is you don’t really have to do very much measuring and the first step is to attach a crosspiece. All I’m going to do is nail through the top piece into the bottom. What I do is kind of establish the arch that looks about the right proportion. There’s no measurement again. Allen: Right. Jim: Match it with this piece and I like to twist one around the other so it kind of helps hold it in place. Allen: Sure. Jim: So this is our basic trellis shape. All of my trellises are built on this foundation. As you can see, these rustic trellises and arbors can create visual interest simply standing alone in the garden. Or they can be useful supports to plants like this vigorous climbing rose. If you’d like more information on how to make interesting trellises and arbors just check out our website.

This is the second part of the tutorial for Garden Obelisks with Rick Pratt of Around the bend willow furnishings.** PLEASE RATE VIDEO TO KEEP IN SEARCH ENGINE*** My 10 yr old daughter shot the footage of me in the garden with 2 variations of the obelisks which Mr.Pratt teaches us to make in this video. The tall one is made from Birch and grapevines. This style will be used for the tall pole beans. The second is wood limbs fallen during winter and the suckers from an apple tree trunk. This shorter style will be used for our tomato plants. Have fun creating!
