Frequently Asked Questions

How do you attach a trellis to a fence?

Attaching a trellis to a fence is a straightforward process, follow these simple steps:

1. Position your trellis on the fence. Think about sunlight and plant growth when positioning the trellis.

2. Centre the trellis. Mark where the corners and centre of the trellis will be using a pencil.

3. Place a level horizontally and vertically against the trellis to ensure it is level and adjust as needed.

4. If your garden trellis and fence material allows, pre-drill holes for the screws or nails.

How do you attach a trellis to a brick wall?

Attaching a garden trellis to a brick wall is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps:

1. Position your garden trellis on the wall, considering factors such as sunlight and aesthetics.

2. Use a measuring tape to mark the desired height and position of the trellis and make pencil marks to indicate where to drill.

3. Check the trellis is level and adjust if needed.

4. Using a masonry drill, drill pilot holes into the brick wall at the marked positions. The size of the drill bit should match the size of the wall plugs that you'll be using.

5. Insert wall plugs into the drilled holes; they'll provide additional support and help distribute the weight of the trellis evenly.

How do you attach a trellis to the wall without drilling?

You can attach a trellis to the wall without a drill by using adhesive strips or zip ties, however, this won't hold up for very long. Instead, we suggest buying a freestanding garden trellis, which requires no attachment to the wall.

Do you need a neighbours permission to put up a trellis?

If your garden trellis affects your neighbour's side of the property then we suggest consulting with them before putting your trellis up. This can help address any potential issues and find solutions that work for both of you.
