Garden trellis designs

This step by step diy project is about garden trellis designs. Building a wooden trellis in your garden is a complex project, as there are many designs to choose from. Nevertheless, any amateur gardener could get the job done in a few hours, as building backyard trellis doesn’t require a significant investment nor expensive tools. Moreover, planning everything form the very beginning could prevent costly mistakes during the project.

Before starting the actual construction of the trellis, we strongly recommend you to take into account several designs and to choose the one that really suits your needs and fits withing your budget. If you want to create something unique and if you know the basic woodworking skills, you could customize the trellis to match the style of your property. Don’t forget that you should use quality lumber, such as cedar, pine or cedar, as the trellis will be exposed directly to bad weather.

There are many detailed project for your garden on HowToSpecialist.com, so we recommend you to take a look over them, if you are searching for ideas. When building the trellis we recommend you to align the components at both ends and to drill pilot holes before inserting the screws. Add glue to the joints, in order to create a strong structure. Place the trellis and lock them into the ground, as strong winds might more them from position.

How to build a garden trellis

The first design you could choose for your garden trellis is the one that can be seen in the image. Any person with basic woodworking skills and tools can get the job done in just a few hours, as this project doesn’t require complex techniques.

Secure the 1×1 pieces of lumber together with galvanized screws, in order to make a net. If you want to cover a blunt wall with vegetation, we recommend you to attach the trellis to it, after placing wooden spacers on its back. See how to build a garden trellis by clicking the link.

Garden trellis

A variation of the previous garden trellis design is to make a wooden support with a triangular shape. Adjust the size of the trellis to your needs and invest in high-quality lumber, such as: pine, cedar or redwood. Dig 1-2′ deep holes into the ground and secure the legs of the trellis tightly.

Raised bed with trellis

If you want to grow vegetables and climbing flowers in your own backyard, you should consider building a raised garden bed and basic trellis. As you can see in the image, you can build the frame using lumber and the supports from wire. This trellis design idea is ideal for climbing vegetables, such as cucumber or zucchini.

Planter with trellis

Another option you could choose from is to build a small planter and to attach trellis to it. As you can notice in the image, this is a good compromise if you don’t have a large garden and you want to place the climbing plants on a patio or deck. Adjust the size and the shape of the trellis according to the plants you want to grow.

How to build a garden arbor

One of the last designs we are going to recommend you is a simple garden arbor. As you can notice in the image, you can use this wooden structure to create a small shaded area.
