FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the trellis?
The trellis measures 180 cm in length, 8 cm in width, and 150 cm in height. The depth of the frame is 7 cm.
Does the trellis come with fixings?
Yes, fixings are supplied for attachment to any wooden planter.
How much maintenance does the wood require?
No maintenance is required as the wood is pressure-treated for durability and weather resistance.
Can I attach this trellis to a brick wall?
The trellis is designed for wooden planters and fences. Attachment to other materials like brick may require specialized fixings and professional assessment to ensure stability.
What is the recommended height of the planter to use with this trellis?
It is recommended to use this trellis with a planter that is approximately 60 cm high for optimal integration and stability.
Is the weight of the trellis a concern for delicate plants?
The trellis itself is heavy (37.8 kg). While it provides a stable structure, very light or delicate plants could potentially be pulled over if they become excessively heavy when mature and are not adequately secured to the trellis.
Can the trellis be used without a planter?
Yes, it can be attached to existing fencing. However, it is designed to be a sturdy standalone unit when properly secured to a stable structure.
Troubleshooting
Trellis feels unstable after installation
Ensure the trellis is securely screwed into a sturdy wooden planter or fence. Check that the planter itself is stable and on level ground. Verify that the planter height meets the minimum attachment requirement of 30 cm.
Fixings do not seem strong enough
The provided fixings are designed for wooden planters. If attaching to a different material, ensure you use appropriate, heavy-duty hardware suitable for the weight of the trellis and the intended load.
Wood shows signs of wear after a season
The pressure-treated wood is designed for low maintenance. If significant wear or discoloration occurs, this may be due to extreme environmental conditions. Ensure no abrasive materials are used for cleaning.
Trellis is difficult to position due to weight
Due to its weight (37.8 kg), it is recommended to have two people for handling and positioning the trellis during installation to ensure safety and ease.
