Product Information
Full details
This Forest Garden Premium Framed Trellis, sold in a 4-pack and presented in a brown finish, is designed for homeowners looking to enhance their garden's aesthetic and provide support for climbing plants. Its key benefit is the durable, pressure-treated timber construction combined with a substantial rebated frame for longevity and strength. A minor caveat is that it's primarily designed for mounting to walls or fences, which may limit placement options for freestanding garden features. The trellis features a high-quality chequered pattern and offers versatile mounting possibilities.

FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of each trellis panel?
Each trellis panel measures 1.8 meters in height and 0.3 meters in width.
Can this trellis be used as a freestanding screen?
This trellis is designed primarily for mounting to existing structures like walls or fences. For freestanding use, it would require additional support posts securely anchored into the ground.
What is the thickness of the timber battens?
The square-edged, smooth-planed battens are 6mm thick and 30mm wide.
How far apart are the timber battens spaced?
The timber battens are overlaid and spaced approximately 45mm apart.
Does the brown colour fade over time?
The brown colour is part of the timber's natural finish. While durable, like all outdoor wood products, it may naturally weather over time. An annual application of wood stain can help maintain the original colour.
What does 'Pressure Treated' mean for the wood?
Pressure treating forces preservatives deep into the wood to protect it from rot, decay, and insect attack, significantly extending its lifespan in outdoor conditions.
Is assembly required for the trellis panels?
No, the Forest Garden Premium Framed Trellis panels are supplied fully assembled and ready for mounting.
What is included in the 4-pack?
The 4-pack includes four individual Forest Garden Premium Framed Trellis panels in the specified brown colour.
Troubleshooting
Trellis appears to be sagging
Ensure the trellis is securely fastened at multiple points along the frame. If mounted horizontally, check that the supporting structure is adequate and consider adding additional support points.
Wood showing signs of premature wear
Although pressure-treated, extreme conditions may benefit from a yearly application of a wood preservative or stain suitable for garden timbers to maintain appearance and protection.
Difficulty securing to mounting surface
Verify that the correct type and length of screws or fixings are being used for the specific mounting surface. Ensure the surface itself is solid and not crumbling.
Climbing plants not adhering well
Gently tie initial stems to the trellis battens to guide plant growth. Ensure the plants are suitable for the trellis structure and that they receive adequate sunlight and water.
