FAQs
Can these trellis panels be cut to size?
While the willow can be trimmed, it is best to use the panels in their full 120cm x 45cm size to maintain the structural integrity of the lattice.
Can I use these for vegetable plants?
Yes, they are excellent for climbing vegetables like peas, beans, or cucumbers that require light vertical support.
Are they suitable for indoor use?
Yes, they make a beautiful decorative backdrop for indoor climbing plants in a conservatory or greenhouse.
Do these panels come with mounting hardware?
The panels do not come with specific screws or ties, as the mounting method depends on your specific surface (fence, wall, or planter).
How do I ensure they last longer in wet weather?
Applying a clear, eco-friendly outdoor wood treatment or sealant can help protect the willow from excessive moisture and rot.
Troubleshooting
Panel wobbles when attached to a fence
Ensure that the trellis is secured at both the top and the bottom, using at least four fixing points to distribute the weight evenly.
Plant growth is obscuring the trellis structure
Use soft garden twine to gently train the vines along the lattice, preventing the plant from bunching up in one area.
Natural material showing signs of weather discoloration
This is a normal aging process for willow; however, you can clean the panels with a soft brush and water to remove debris or mild algae buildup.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Adds immediate rustic charm to outdoor or indoor spaces
- Promotes healthy plant development through structured growth
- Lightweight and simple to install without professional tools

Cons
- Natural wood may degrade faster if exposed to harsh, wet climates

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward and requires minimal effort. You can mount the panels directly to a wall or fence using stainless steel screws or hooks to prevent rust marks. If you are using these with planters, use heavy-duty garden ties to secure the base of the trellis to the planter frame.
Regarding care, because the trellis is made from natural willow, it is recommended to keep it clear of standing water at the base to prevent rot. While the material is durable, you can apply a natural, non-toxic outdoor wood preservative if you live in a particularly wet climate to extend the life of the panels. Periodically check the fixings to ensure that the weight of mature plants hasn't caused the panel to pull away from its mount.
