Which trellis?

[theflyingpig]

Hi all,

I've never bought any trellis before... Somewhat overwhelmed by the multitude of choices... What should I be looking for? Any suppliers you'd recommend? I'm attaching it to side of house to grow climbers up.....

Thanks in advance

I grew a pyracantha (sp?) or May blossom. Didn't use a trellis, just screwed and plugged the mortar (with a washer at the screwhead) and then tied wire around the plant to the screws. Far cheaper!

If you're growing something a little more delicate like clematis or honeysuckle, that will need a trellis. They all rot over time though.

Much more expensive, but I’ve ended up using this type of system for growing climbers up our house now. Looks nice on Day 1 and importantly isn’t rotting over time!
