FAQs
Can I trim this trellis to a different size?
Yes, you can trim the trellis with a standard wood saw, but note that cutting the timber will expose untreated wood, which must be immediately sealed with a wood preservative to prevent rot.
Does this trellis come with mounting brackets?
No, mounting hardware is not included. You should purchase screws and brackets suitable for the surface to which you are attaching the trellis.
Can I mount this on a fence?
Yes, it can be mounted on a fence using suitable wood screws. Ensure the fence is sturdy enough to hold the weight of the trellis plus the weight of the mature plants.
What are the exact dimensions of the trellis?
The panel is 180cm in width, 30cm in height, and 2cm in depth.
Is the 15-year guarantee valid if I paint it?
Generally, using a breathable garden paint or stain is acceptable, but always check the manufacturer's specific guidelines regarding treatments to ensure you do not void the warranty.
Troubleshooting
Trellis feels loose after mounting
Ensure you are using appropriate fixings for your specific wall material and that you have installed enough mounting points to support the 180cm width.
Wood color is fading
UV exposure will naturally fade the timber over time. You can restore the finish by applying an exterior-grade wood stain or preservative designed for garden structures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure you have appropriate screws and rawlplugs if fixing to a masonry wall, or exterior-grade wood screws if fixing to a fence. Because the trellis is 180cm wide, it is recommended to use at least three mounting points to prevent the center from bowing.
Care instructions are straightforward: While the pressure-treatment provides significant protection, applying a wood preservative or stain every few years will help maintain the rich brown color and provide an extra layer of defense against weathering. Avoid placing the trellis in direct contact with wet soil for extended periods to maximize the lifespan of the wood, even though it is treated.
