How to Build a Trellis
Cultivate a living wallpaper by training a flowering vine up a trellis stuck in the ground or mounted on an exterior wall. The result: a wall treatment lively and artistic. Bees and butterflies will be drawn to the flowers, adding color and beauty to your garden. The possibilities for building trellises are endless.
Use rot-resistant wood for trellis construction, such as cedar or pressure-treated pine, to make your garden trellis durable. Use exterior-grade stain or primer and paint to protect your wooden trellis. Painting before you assemble pieces may spare you brushwork later but may require touch-ups where screws have been inserted.
