Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

Trellises were popular in Renaissance gardens, and they reappeared in the late-nineteenth century. They can be constructed from wood, plastic or wire, and they add mystery and magic to your backyard or garden. In addition to creating a mood, they can provide some privacy from neighbors as well as a shaded sitting area.

Typical trellis designs include the traditional wood trellis, trellis with arched entry and wire trellis. If you want the trellis for privacy, a simple lattice design or closely spaced horizontal slats will probably work best. If you would like a sitting area, choose an arbor with a built in bench. A large arbor can work best in your rear or side yard where it can be seen from the street.

For a more modern look, consider this pole trellis, which costs $125 per pole and is 8’ high. This is perfect for clematis and climbing bean plants, and it adds an artistic aspect to your yard.
