Product Information
Full details
The Forest Garden Traditional Square Garden Trellis is an ideal choice for homeowners and gardeners looking to support climbing plants or add vertical interest to their outdoor spaces. Its key benefit is the combination of a refined, aesthetic design with high-quality, pressure-treated timber that ensures longevity against the elements. A primary caveat to consider is that the trellis is supplied as a single panel, so users must ensure they have appropriate mounting hardware and wall surface space available before installation.

FAQs
Can I cut the trellis to a different size?
Yes, it can be trimmed, but keep in mind that any cut ends must be treated with a high-quality wood preservative to maintain rot resistance.
Is the mounting hardware included?
No, you will need to purchase suitable screws or brackets depending on the type of wall you are attaching the trellis to.
Does the trellis need annual maintenance?
While the pressure treatment is long-lasting, a light application of wood preservative every few years can help keep the wood looking fresh.
Can this be used as a freestanding screen?
The trellis is designed to be wall-mounted; if you want to use it freestanding, you would need to build a sturdy frame to support it.
What is the weight capacity of this trellis?
It is designed to hold standard climbing plants; avoid using it to support heavy hanging baskets or items that exert significant pull-force.
Troubleshooting
Wood appears slightly green or stained upon arrival
This is a normal result of the pressure treatment process and will fade to a natural wood tone over time when exposed to sunlight.
Trellis feels loose after installation
Check that the mounting screws are tightened sufficiently and ensure the wall anchors are properly set into the masonry or timber studs.
Trellis is touching the ground
It is recommended to mount the trellis slightly off the ground to prevent moisture wicking from the soil, which helps maintain the 15-year guarantee.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure you have appropriate heavy-duty masonry screws or wall anchors suitable for the surface you are attaching to. Position the trellis, mark your drill holes through the batten intersections for maximum strength, and secure firmly.
While the pressure treatment is highly effective, the wood can be painted or stained with a suitable wood preservative if you wish to change the brown finish to match a specific color scheme. To care for the product, periodically inspect for any signs of loose screws after extreme wind events and gently hose down dust or debris if the trellis is in a sheltered spot.
