I can then move it or use eye hooks or screws to mount it to the fence or really anywhere in a permanent, or semi- permanent situation. We have trees and different sun patterns throughout the year. The mobility makes for a more versatile planting scheme.I saw a great 60in by 60in trellis(wood) that has poles to put in the ground to hold it up, again the ability to move and the appeal of it's designer look make it more different then my normal 4ft by 8ft green plastic trellis's.They do work well. mounted on a fence, or up a support pole in just minutes, for very little money. They also can take any weight, as they say, no painting or rotting.This one is holding my Passiflora Allspice. Leveling them gives a more horizontal look, which the eye sees better if the trellis is run 4ft tall, rather then 4ft wide. |
