Buying Guide

Choosing the right black metal trellis for your garden may seem to be a simple task, but it’s not as easy as you think. Getting the wrong garden addition won’t just have an impact on the support that your plants get, but also on the design and aesthetics of your garden.

But, if you follow the tips that we’ve compiled below, you won’t just offer your plants the ample amount of support they require, but you’ll also have a framework in your garden that will offer you privacy and a decorative feature.

So, what are you waiting for? Check it out!

How expansive a trellis should you get?

Opting for a cheap, low-quality trellis or one that’s not a good fit for your purpose will lead to lost crops and snapped plants. Worse, you will end up with damages in your property that are costly to repair.

The cost of a trellis will depend on its complexity. The simplest one that is made of thick, durable metal will prove to be a good option if you’re just enhancing your garden’s look and you’re not planning to get a trellis system that has lots of components for a commercial vineyard.

For a complex trellis system, you might want to set a budget first before you head on to the market as your options can overwhelm you. After you’ve set a budget, determine the row length and layout that you plan to accomplish as they can impact the total cost of your purchase.

Take Note: Shorter rows require more end post assemblies.

What trellis styles are there?

There are different styles for black metal trellises to suit all garden shapes and configurations. Here are some of our favorites:

Tepee or Tripod - A tripod trellis, as its name suggests, has the shape of a tepee or freestanding tripod. Its style is simple, but it can already make for an incredible focal point when it's added in your garden, most especially when it's decorated with lush flowering vines. A tepee trellis can be used as an exclamation point in a garden to add visual emphasis or punctuate your garden's design.
Arch - An arch trellis is painted or stained so it can resist harsh outdoor elements. It's defined by its two flat sides with an arched or rounded top that joints the sides. Its function is to guide plants to a path or encourage wayward scramblers in growing vertically instead of horizontally. This trellis style can add a look that's ultimately distinctive to your garden. It can also disappear under a greenery blanket.
Grid - A grid trellis can provide privacy, decorate an empty wall or define a space. Its strongest suit is versatility as it can be anchored to a fence or wall or allowed to stand on its own.

How to maintain a black metal trellis?

The maintenance of a black metal trellis can be a constant job as you need to tighten the wires, fix broken ones, evaluate the looseness of posts, check for termites, rotting, and tighten brace wires. If you want to reduce the amount of maintenance and re-tensioning you need to do, then opt for high-tensile wires.
