Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic carpentry skills and appropriate outdoor-grade fixings. Ensure you have heavy-duty screws or brackets suitable for your specific fence posts or mounting surface. Since the panel is constructed from timber, pre-drilling holes is recommended to prevent the wood from splitting during the installation of hardware.
For care, although the wood is pressure-treated, applying an external-grade wood preservative or stain every 1-2 years will help protect the finish and prevent the timber from turning a weathered grey color. Inspect the frame annually for any loose joints caused by thermal expansion or high winds, and ensure that the bottom of the trellis does not sit directly in standing water to prevent moisture wicking at the base.
