Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Choose a suitable location in your garden where the trellis will receive adequate sunlight for the intended plants.
Ensure the ground is firm and level for stability.
For optimal stability, especially in windy areas or with heavy plants, it is recommended to secure the trellis legs into the ground using stakes or to attach it to a sturdy fence or wall.
Position the trellis vertically, ensuring it is straight before final fixing.

Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Periodically check fixings and stability, especially after strong winds.
