Product Information

Full details

The Forest Garden Heavy Duty Fan Trellis is designed for gardeners looking to create a strong, traditional support structure for climbing plants. Its key benefit is its robust construction, offering excellent stability for vines and flowers, with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee. A potential consideration is its fixed size and brown color, which may not suit all garden aesthetics or space constraints. This pack includes 10 trellises, each measuring 1.83m x 660mm, featuring thick-section battens for superior strength and a dip-treated finish for durability.

FAQs

What type of wood is used for the trellis?

The trellis is made from timber, which has been dip-treated for rot resistance.

How long will the trellis last?

The timber is dip-treated and comes with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee. With proper care, it can last even longer.

Can this trellis support heavy plants like mature climbing roses?

Yes, the trellis is designed with thick-section battens for a heavy-duty structure, making it suitable for supporting a wide variety of climbing plants, including heavier ones.

Does the pack include fixings for mounting?

No, the pack includes 10 trellises. Fixings for mounting to walls or ground stakes are not included and should be purchased separately based on your installation needs.

What are the dimensions of each trellis?

Each trellis measures 1.83 meters in height and 660mm in width.

How should I maintain the trellis?

The dip treatment provides rot resistance. For best appearance and longevity, you can apply a wood stain or preservative periodically, especially after the first year.

Can I paint or stain the trellis a different color?

Yes, once the timber is dry and any existing treatment has cured, you can apply a suitable exterior wood paint or stain to match your garden's aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Trellis appears unstable

Ensure the trellis is adequately secured to the ground or a supporting structure. For ground placement, push the base deeper into the soil or use additional stakes. If fixed to a wall, verify that the fixings are secure.

Wood shows signs of weathering

The dip treatment provides initial protection. For continued aesthetic appeal and protection, apply a garden-appropriate wood stain or preservative annually, particularly after the first year.

Plant growth is uneven

Gently guide plant stems along the battens as they grow. Ensure the base of the plant has adequate space and light. Rotate or train stems to encourage balanced growth across the trellis.

Damage from strong winds

Ensure the trellis is securely anchored. For very exposed locations, consider additional bracing or choose a location with some natural windbreak. Remove very heavy, mature plants during storm season if instability is a concern.
