Trellis

A trellis serves three purposes in the garden: training climbing plants, screening unattractive areas, and adding height to a low fence without going to a full panel. Sizes range from 0.6x1.8m (narrow column) up to 1.8x1.8m (full panel) with diamond-pattern, square-pattern and decorative cut-out variants. Aosom UK, Archiproducts UK and Bedeck Home between them stock 1,200+ trellis pieces covering £2-£1,060. Pressure-treated softwood is the standard 10-year trellis; untreated softwood rots in 3-4 years even with climbing plants on it; metal trellis (powder-coated steel) lasts 15+ years but heats up in summer (climbers can scorch against it on south-facing walls). Mounting matters: a trellis attached directly to a wall traps moisture against the wall; trellis on 25mm batten standoffs lets the wall breathe and the climber thread its tendrils through.
