FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the trellis?

The trellis is approximately 1.8 meters in height and 0.3 meters in width when fully extended, but its expandable design allows you to adjust it to various sizes.

Is this trellis suitable for very heavy climbing plants?

The trellis is constructed from heavy-duty timber, providing sturdy support. For very heavy or mature climbing plants, it's recommended to ensure secure installation and potentially supplement with additional plant ties.

Can the grey colour be painted or stained?

Yes, the natural wood can be painted or stained to match your desired garden aesthetic. Ensure you use products suitable for outdoor timber use.

How is the trellis made from sustainable timber?

The trellis is crafted using timber that is certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), ensuring it comes from responsibly managed forests.

What is the best way to clean the trellis?

Clean the trellis with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.

Can this trellis be used indoors?

Yes, it can be used indoors for decorative purposes, such as a backdrop for plants or events. Ensure it is placed on a stable surface.

Does the trellis come with mounting hardware?

The product description does not specify included mounting hardware. It indicates that it can be attached with screws or nails, or hammered into the ground, implying these may need to be sourced separately based on your installation method.

Troubleshooting

Trellis is wobbly after installation

Ensure stakes are hammered sufficiently into the ground or that wall-mounting screws are securely fastened. For ground installation, consider adding extra support stakes if the ground is very soft.

Wood appears to be fading or weathering quickly

Apply a suitable exterior wood treatment or sealant annually to protect the timber from UV rays and moisture. Reapply as needed based on environmental conditions.

Difficulty expanding or contracting the trellis

Gently flex the trellis while expanding or contracting. If rivets are stiff, a small application of lubricant (like silicone spray) might help, but use sparingly.

Climbing plants are not adhering well

Gently tie or guide young plants onto the trellis structure. Ensure adequate watering and sunlight for the plants themselves to encourage healthy growth and attachment.
