The Forest Garden Traditional Square Garden Trellis is an ideal solution for homeowners and garden enthusiasts looking to create vertical interest and support climbing plants against existing walls or fences. This 180cm x 30cm panel offers a clean, professional look with its robust, planed battens, though users should note that the narrow 30cm height makes it best suited for specific ornamental arrangements rather than covering large, open wall spaces.

Yes, you can trim the trellis with a standard wood saw, but note that cutting the timber will expose untreated wood, which must be immediately sealed with a wood preservative to prevent rot.
No, mounting hardware is not included. You should purchase screws and brackets suitable for the surface to which you are attaching the trellis.
Yes, it can be mounted on a fence using suitable wood screws. Ensure the fence is sturdy enough to hold the weight of the trellis plus the weight of the mature plants.
The panel is 180cm in width, 30cm in height, and 2cm in depth.
Generally, using a breathable garden paint or stain is acceptable, but always check the manufacturer's specific guidelines regarding treatments to ensure you do not void the warranty.
Ensure you are using appropriate fixings for your specific wall material and that you have installed enough mounting points to support the 180cm width.
UV exposure will naturally fade the timber over time. You can restore the finish by applying an exterior-grade wood stain or preservative designed for garden structures.
To install, ensure you have appropriate screws and rawlplugs if fixing to a masonry wall, or exterior-grade wood screws if fixing to a fence. Because the trellis is 180cm wide, it is recommended to use at least three mounting points to prevent the center from bowing.
Care instructions are straightforward: While the pressure-treatment provides significant protection, applying a wood preservative or stain every few years will help maintain the rich brown color and provide an extra layer of defense against weathering. Avoid placing the trellis in direct contact with wet soil for extended periods to maximize the lifespan of the wood, even though it is treated.
