FAQs
What are the maximum and minimum dimensions of the trellis?
The trellis expands up to 180cm in length and 60cm in width. The minimum dimensions will depend on how tightly it is contracted, but it can be significantly smaller than its maximum.
Is this trellis suitable for heavy plants?
It is ideal for climbing plants like roses and clematis. For very heavy or vigorous plants, additional support or anchoring might be necessary.
Does the product come assembled?
Yes, the trellis is fully assembled and ready to be expanded and installed.
What is the best way to secure the trellis to the ground?
You can use garden stakes or sturdy pegs inserted through the lower lattice sections and pushed into the ground. Alternatively, use ties or brackets to attach it to existing structures.
How often should I treat the wood?
Treatment frequency depends on your climate and desired appearance. Annually is generally recommended, especially before the main growing season or after a harsh winter.
Can I paint or stain this trellis?
Yes, you can paint or stain the wood to match your garden's color scheme, provided you use exterior-grade paints or stains and prepare the wood surface correctly.
Troubleshooting
Trellis does not hold its expanded shape
Ensure the trellis is pulled evenly to both sides. If the wood seems loose, it may benefit from a light treatment with wood glue on the joints or ensure it is anchored securely to a support structure.
Wood appears weathered or faded
Apply a wood preserver or sealant suitable for outdoor use. This will restore color and provide protection against the elements.
Difficulty expanding or contracting
Check for any obstructions in the joints. Gently work the sections back and forth. If stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the sliding parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the trellis, simply grip both ends and gently pull them apart to expand it to your desired length. The trellis will hold its shape once expanded. For stability, it is recommended to secure the trellis to a wall, fence, or the ground using appropriate fixings (not included) such as screws, stakes, or ties, especially in exposed or windy locations.
Compatibility: This trellis is compatible with most common climbing plants, including but not limited to roses, clematis, jasmine, honeysuckle, and various vining vegetables. It is designed for outdoor use.
Care: To maintain the natural appearance and prolong the life of the wood, it is advisable to treat the trellis periodically with a suitable wood preserver or sealant. Clean the trellis with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals. During harsh winter months or if left unused for extended periods, consider storing it in a dry place to minimize exposure to the elements.
