Product Information
Full details
This freestanding wooden expanding trellis is designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking a versatile and attractive solution for instant privacy, screening, or defining outdoor spaces. Its key benefit is the tool-free expandability, allowing you to adjust its width easily. A minor consideration is that it is freestanding, so very strong winds might require additional anchoring for maximum stability.

FAQs
Does this trellis require assembly?
No, the expanding garden trellis is fully assembled and ready to use straight out of the box. It requires no tools for setup.
What are the maximum and minimum dimensions?
The trellis expands from approximately 23cm to 156cm wide. The height is approximately 90cm, with end posts measuring 91.4cm tall.
Can this trellis be used to support climbing plants?
Yes, it can support lighter climbing plants. For heavier or more vigorous climbers, additional support may be needed.
How do I clean the trellis?
Wipe it down with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and allow to dry.

How is it secured in the ground?

Can it be left outside in winter?

Troubleshooting
Trellis feels unstable in wind.
Ensure the wide feet are on level ground and consider using garden stakes or weights to secure the base more firmly.
Wood slats are difficult to slide.
Check for debris or moisture in the interlocking mechanism. If dry, a light application of silicone spray might help.
Trellis color fading.
Apply a suitable outdoor wood sealant or stain annually to protect the wood and refresh its appearance.

Gently adjust the angle of the trellis. Ensure the slats are fully aligned before expanding or contracting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
