Product Information

This metal garden wall trellis has a decorative features with two scrolled top and lattice ironwork centres. For insulated walls, where the installation is more complex, stabilising climbing wires can also be attached to the downpipe clamps on the pipe. Potted plants are also a great choice since the growth of the plant and its foliar mass will be limited by the trapped root system-- requiring less maintenance and care . The often very light fittings of the drainpipe are not meant to absorb additional loads like greenery.

This high-grade metal trellis is for wall mounting via downpipes; covered with the foliage of a climbing plant, it will hide downpipes. It can be used as a climbing plant support in a pergola, or as a decorative screen against garden sheds. We hope you will be delighted with the product you receive and that you will enjoy it for many years to come. These garden trellisess are made from rust effect powder coated steel and will add an extra touch of elegance and design to your garden. To the right of it, you can see a tiny Brunnera macrophylla ‘Mr Morse’ which I’ve just taken from a larger plant to see if it will take over winter.

The spiked feet allow it to be planted into the ground, either against garden walls or free standing in a flower bed, or even in a planter with trellis, a popular garden landscaping design idea. I suppose if you constructed a mesh cage to keep your climber away from the pipe, you'd get away with it - maybe. Others are more sceptical about the value of a living coat of vegetation around a house or concerned about the potential impact on the building. Most people give very little thought to their home’s hidden drainage pipes until there is a problem.

The Natural Rust trellis is supplied in untreated steel which quickly develops a natural rust finish. Ideal for climbing plants such as clematis and roses, when in full flower will create a stunning display on wall and fences around the garden. I trained at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and have designed over 70 gardens from country estates to town plots.Since this trellis can support up to 50 pounds, it’s also ideal for growing heavier vined vegetables. Figuring out how to properly care for so many different plants has been a bit of a learning curve (not to mention the never ending weeding and mowing!
