A trellis in your garden can be used for many different things, including helping your plants to grow in the right direction or providing some extra privacy in an overlooked property. If you haven't bought a garden trellis before, or it's the first time you've considered buying a tall garden trellis, there are a few things you should know in advance. Let's consider some of the main points so you can buy the ideal garden trellis for you.
It is very important that you find out beforehand how tall you want the garden trellis to be. Having a trellis which is too tall can cause problems with the neighbors, but can also be much larger than you initially intended. Similarly, a garden trellis which is too low might not be as effective as you had hoped – for example, it may not provide a lot of privacy. Before you go shopping for your tall garden trellis, measure the areas of your garden where you intend to position them. It is also a good idea to go inside your house and imagine the view of your garden once you have installed the trellis in the desired area.
There are so many different styles that you will keep coming across. Although this can make your ultimate decision more difficult, it's nice to have a lot of choices and the ability to choose from a wide variety. Here are some of the common designs you'll come across:
- Curved or arched trellis: This is a great style if you have ivy or a similar plant that you wish to grow in the garden. You can even use this trellis as a decorative item in your garden and grow two plants up either side.
- Wigwam shaped trellis: Another popular style which is most suited to aiding plant growth, you can find these either thin and compact or broad and bold. There are normally rings around the beams to hold it together and add to the design and detail.
- Wooden garden trellis: These look almost like a fence panel, but they are ideal for both plant growth and privacy. You can put them over a glass balcony or around any areas which may be overlooked by your neighbors or those passing by
Many of these items are very easy to install yourself, so you don't have to worry about the extra costs involved with hiring somebody else to do it for you. You will receive an instruction manual when you purchase the item, which will outline any necessary tools or accessories that you will need in order to put the trellis together and install it in your garden. Most of them will require simple assembly and can then be fixed to the ground or into the soil in your garden.
