FAQs
What are the exact dimensions when fully expanded?
The trellis measures 120cm in width and 36cm in height. While it is expandable, the maximum functional width may vary slightly depending on how far the lattice can be stretched without causing undue stress.
Can I cut the trellis to a smaller size?
The wooden lattice is designed to be flexible, not necessarily cut. Attempting to cut it may compromise the structure and finish. It is best to adjust its expansion to fit your desired space.
Is this suitable for creating full privacy?
The trellis provides a good level of screening and privacy. However, the density of the leaves may allow some light or visibility through when viewed closely, especially at wider expansions.
Does it come with any mounting hardware?
No, the trellis typically does not come with mounting hardware. You will need to use your own fixings such as zip ties, wire, or screws appropriate for your installation surface.
Can I attach plants to this trellis?
While this is an artificial trellis, you could theoretically attach real climbing plants to it. However, it is designed to be a standalone decorative item, and adding real plants would require additional care and maintenance.
Is the wood treated for outdoor use?
The product description mentions a wooden lattice frame. While designed for outdoor use, the wood may benefit from additional sealing or treatment for prolonged exposure to damp conditions to prevent premature decay.
How should I store it if I need to take it down?
To store, carefully collapse the expandable lattice back to its most compact form. Store in a dry place, ideally protected from moisture and extreme temperatures, to maintain its condition.
Troubleshooting
Trellis is difficult to expand
Gently pull the lattice sides apart. If it remains stiff, inspect the joints for any obstructions. Do not force it, as this may damage the wood.
Leaves appear flattened or misshapen after unpacking
Gently adjust the leaves with your fingers to restore their natural shape. The material is flexible and designed to be reshaped.
Trellis sags or appears unstable
Ensure the trellis is adequately supported by secure fixings. If mounting on a fence or wall, check that the surface itself is stable. Add more fixings if necessary, distributing them evenly across the frame.
Color fading over time (especially outdoors)
While designed to be weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to intense sunlight can cause fading. Consider positioning in a partially shaded area if longevity of color is a priority.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the trellis and gently extend the wooden lattice to your desired width. Be careful not to force the expansion beyond its natural limit.
- Position the trellis against the desired surface (fence, wall, railing, etc.).
- Secure the trellis using appropriate fixings such as zip ties, wire, garden staples, or screws (ensure fixings are suitable for the surface you are attaching it to and are long enough to pass through the lattice and into the mounting surface).
Compatibility:
- Suitable for mounting on most sturdy surfaces including wood, brick, concrete, and metal railings.
- Can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Care:
- Cleaning: To clean, gently wipe the leaves and frame with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a rinse with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Maintenance: No watering or pruning is required. Periodically check fixings to ensure the trellis remains securely attached.
