FAQs
What is the trellis made of?
The trellis is made of PVC plastic.
Can I paint the trellis?
It is not recommended to paint the trellis, as paint may not adhere well to the plastic and could potentially damage the material. Consider the green colour is designed to blend well with outdoor spaces.
How do I clean the trellis?
Use mild soap and water to clean the trellis. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
How do I install the trellis?
The trellis can be installed by attaching it to a wall or fence using appropriate fixings or by using supporting posts for a freestanding structure.
What kind of plants can I grow on the trellis?
You can grow climbing plants like roses, ivy, clematis, and other climbing flowers on the trellis.
Is the trellis resistant to UV rays?
While the trellis is designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause some fading over time. This is a common characteristic of plastic materials exposed to sunlight.
How do I secure the trellis in windy conditions?
Make sure the trellis is firmly fixed to a solid structure. Consider using additional anchors or supports if you live in an area with strong winds.
Troubleshooting
Trellis is unstable or wobbly.
Ensure the trellis is securely fixed to a wall, fence, or anchored with supporting posts. Tighten any loose fixings.
Plants are not attaching to the trellis.
Gently guide the stems of the climbing plants through the trellis openings. Use plant ties or clips to help secure the plants initially.
Trellis is damaged.
Inspect the damage. If the damage is minor, it might be repairable with appropriate adhesive. Replace the damaged section or the entire trellis if the damage is extensive.
