Building a Window Frame Trellis
In just one afternoon, turn an old window or door frame into a rustic trellis for vines.
Introduction
Forget curtains and sheers. Dress up an old window frame with draperies made of annual vines. This window frame salutes the day with sun-worshiping morning glories. Cardinal climber, cup-and-saucer vine, thunbergia, and hyacinth vine provide similar eye-catching results.
This vintage window frame, salvaged from a church, provides height and substantive architectural trims for this one-of-a-kind trellis. You could also use a door frame or start from scratch by building a custom frame using new trim and molding. Attach your frame to an existing fence or to wooden posts using drywall screws.
