FAQs
What are the dimensions of the trellis when fully expanded?
The trellis measures 1.8m in height and can expand up to 0.6m in width. Please note that expanding it to its maximum width may reduce its stability for very heavy plants.
Is the timber treated for outdoor use?
Yes, the trellis is made from FSC certified timber with a natural tan finish, which offers some protection. However, annual treatment with a wood preservative is recommended for longevity.
Can this trellis be painted or stained?
While it has a natural tan finish, you can paint or stain it to match your garden's color scheme, provided you use products suitable for outdoor wood.
What type of fixings should I use to attach it?
The type of fixings will depend on where you are installing the trellis. Screws, nails, garden wire, or cable ties are commonly used.
Will this trellis support heavy plants like roses?
Yes, the heavy-duty construction with extra-thick, riveted slats is designed to support robust climbing plants. For very heavy plants, ensure secure installation.
Is this trellis suitable for vegetable climbers like cucumbers?
Absolutely. It provides excellent support for vegetable climbers, encouraging upward growth and easier harvesting.
Troubleshooting
Trellis does not expand smoothly.
Gently work the slats back and forth to loosen any stiffness. Ensure no debris is obstructing the joints.
Wood finish appears faded or weathered.
Clean the surface and apply a fresh coat of wood preservative or sealant designed for outdoor use.
Trellis feels unstable after installation.
Check fixings and ensure they are secure. If using as a standalone feature, consider adding stakes for extra support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Unpack the trellis and gently expand it to the desired width. Secure the trellis in its intended location using appropriate fixings (not included) such as screws, ties, or stakes, ensuring it is firmly anchored. Position it where climbing plants can easily access it.
Compatibility: This trellis is compatible with a wide variety of climbing plants, including flowering vines, fruit-bearing climbers, and ornamental foliage plants. It is suitable for use against walls, fences, or as a free-standing garden feature.
Care: To maintain the natural tan finish and prolong the life of the timber, it is recommended to treat the trellis annually with a suitable wood preservative or sealant, particularly if exposed to harsh weather conditions. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary, avoiding abrasive cleaners.
