Product Information
Full details
This striking metal trellis by Primrose is designed for gardeners seeking to add both aesthetic appeal and functional support to their outdoor spaces. It excels at helping plants thrive and defining garden areas, with a unique corten-look finish that complements natural surroundings. A minor consideration is that the corten-look is a finish and not the material itself, so its long-term weathering characteristics will depend on the underlying steel.

FAQs
What material is the trellis made of?
The trellis is made from steel with a corten-look finish.
How deep do the legs go into the ground?
The trellis has two strong legs, each measuring 29cm, designed to be pushed into the ground for stability.
Can this trellis be used on a patio or deck?
The trellis is designed to be inserted into the ground. While it could potentially be placed in large planters with soil, it is not suitable for freestanding use on hard surfaces like patios or decks without additional mounting solutions.
Will the corten-look finish rust away completely?
The corten-look is a durable finish designed to mimic weathered steel. While some surface patina is expected and part of the aesthetic, the underlying steel construction provides structural integrity for years.
What are the dimensions of the trellis?
The product description does not specify the overall dimensions, but it features two strong sides, a curved top, and a central Aztec sun design with 29cm support legs.
Is this trellis suitable for very heavy climbing plants?
It is suitable for most common climbing plants. For exceptionally heavy or vigorous growers, additional support might be advisable.
How do I clean the trellis?
Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Trellis is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure the legs are pushed as far as possible into firm, level ground. If the ground is very soft, consider adding additional support around the base or repositioning to a firmer location.
Finish appears to be degrading faster than expected.
The corten-look is a finish. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners. If minor rust spots appear, they are part of the intended aesthetic. For significant degradation, consider applying a rust-inhibiting clear coat suitable for outdoor metal.
Plant growth is not adhering well to the trellis.
Gently guide young plant stems along the metal frame. You can use plant ties (not included) for initial support until the plant establishes its own grip. Ensure adequate sunlight and watering for healthy plant growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up your Aztec Sun Trellis, identify the desired location in your garden. Ensure the ground is reasonably soft for easy insertion. Firmly push the two 29cm legs into the soil until the base of the trellis is stable and level. You may need to use a rubber mallet or a piece of wood to gently tap the legs if the ground is firm.
Compatibility: This trellis is designed for use in outdoor garden settings. It is compatible with a wide variety of climbing plants, ornamental grasses, and medium-sized shrubs. It can be used in soil, large planters (with the legs reaching into the soil base), or alongside garden borders. It is not intended for indoor use or for supporting very heavy structures.
Care: The steel construction with a corten-look finish requires minimal care. To maintain its appearance, periodically wipe it with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish. While the finish is designed to evoke a weathered look, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive moisture could potentially affect its longevity. For best results, ensure it is securely installed to prevent unnecessary stress on the material.
