What kind of plants is this trellis suitable for?
It is ideal for supporting a wide range of climbing plants, from light annuals to heavier, established perennials like roses and clematis.

Are mounting fixings included?

Can I paint or stain the trellis a different color?
Yes, you can paint or stain the trellis with a suitable exterior wood paint or stain once the wood is dry. Ensure any existing treatment is clean and dry before applying new finishes.
Troubleshooting
Trellis appears unstable after mounting.
Check all fixings to ensure they are securely tightened. Verify that the wall or fence structure is sound and capable of supporting the weight. Consider using additional fixings if necessary.
Wood finish is fading or uneven.
This is normal weathering. For an improved aesthetic and protection, apply a compatible wood stain or preservative annually, following product instructions.
Plant growth is not adhering well.
Gently tie young plant stems to the battens to encourage initial growth in the desired direction. Ensure adequate sunlight and watering for the plant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trellis panels are designed to be mounted onto existing walls or sturdy fence posts. Use appropriate fixings (not included) such as screws and wall plugs suitable for your wall type, or heavy-duty fence staples for timber fences. Ensure the chosen location can support the weight of the trellis, especially when covered in mature plants. For best results, install the trellis before planting if using for new climbing plants.
Compatibility: Compatible with a wide variety of climbing plants, including roses, clematis, jasmine, honeysuckle, and passionflower. Ensure the plant's growth habit is suitable for vertical support. The trellis is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with most standard garden wall and fence structures.
Care: The timber is dip-treated for an initial golden brown finish and protection. To maintain the appearance and further prolong the life of the wood, it is recommended to re-apply a suitable wood preservative or stain annually, particularly after the first year. Clean any accumulated dirt or debris with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
