Put up trellis for climbers

-

USE TRELLIS to screen areas in the garden and to support a wide range of climbing plants. Panels of trellis must be secured with rust- resistant brackets and screws. Use a spirit level when mounting battens on a wall, or a hinged post level to set posts perfectly upright before the trellis is attached to them. Make sure that your trellis can take the weight of the plants that will be climbing through it. All hardy climbers can be planted out now at the base of the trellis and tied in to encourage them to cover the frame.
