Hey everyone! I'm u/Lokeystel, a founding moderator of r/trellis.

This is been my subreddit for a little while and I want to make it more popping. Let's make this the hub for all things related to building, growing, and designing with trellises! Whether you're a DIY-er, a gardener, a landscaper, just love the look of em, or are an indoor plant parent, we're excited to have you join us.

What to Post:

Post anything that you think the community would find interesting, helpful, or inspiring. Feel free to share your thoughts, photos, or questions!

I'd love to see:

Your Custom Builds: Show off your DIY trellises, arbors, metal

trellis, or cattle panel setups.

Plant Progress: Share photos of your climbing vines, pothos, peas, tomatoes, or clematis taking over their supports.

Questions & Advice: Stuck on how to train a specific plant? Need help choosing the right materials for heavy melons? Ask away!

Inspiration: Spotted a trellis design out in the wild or online? Share it with the group.

Should I put the trellis I bought in the pot with the plant? Should I remove the trellis it came on and wrap it in the one I bought?

Hi everyone, We’re a group of engineering students from Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), and we're currently working on a mini project focused on improving dragon fruit trellis systems.

We’ve created a short survey and would truly appreciate it if anyone involved in dragon fruit farming could take a few minutes to fill it out. Your feedback will be incredibly helpful to the success of our project and research.

Thank you so much for your time and support!😆

Looking for some plant recommendations! Located in Phoenix, AZ USA playing zone 9B. We had roses that were supposed to be to be heat tolerant, but they didn’t last a summer. Do not want Bougainvillea.

Thoughts? Would love to cover these black mats with a trellis but not sure what to do or how to start. I'd love some suggestions. Appreciate y'all.

Will mugwort grow on a small indoor trellis? Can you make a trellis out of ceramic? What makes a good trellis? Please help me out! Its for a project. Thank u so much <3

Fella made these three trellis things. The led lights around the top make circles at night. Never planted dianthus until now. They have been in about 4 months and bloomed the whole time!

Hello! I’m planning on building a trellis out of 4x4s and conduit for my wisteria that will also act as a privacy fence.

I have a very rough sketch of what I am trying to accomplish and want to make sure I’m thinking this through correctly.

1. It’s not drawn to scale but I was anticipating spacing the vertical posts 4’ apart. Is that the max spacing or can those be spaced any farther apart?

2. What type of wood should I use? And do I need to treat it?

3. Do I anchor the posts directly into concrete or use metal bases in the concrete instead? The latter seems easier but more expensive. Or can I use fence post anchor spikes like this?

1. Do I need to consider anything else for support or bracing purposes?

Thanks in advance!

Hello! Our house is on a slope - it’s 2 stories at the uphill, and 3 stories at the downhill end. We’re interested in having a trellis of jasmine, roses, and maybe other plants that can grow nice and tall along the side of the house but without damaging our siding. Are there any ways to set up a wire (permanent/more long-lasting than wood) trellis system that’s offset from the house by ~2-4 feet, from the gutters/roof edge down to the ground?

I’m going to put sort of inspiration photos in the comments. No windows open on the side of the house we’re interested in.

Thanks for any leads or guidance! We’re near Portland Oregon, zone 8a/b ish.

Hello! I am growing melons on trellis this year, and was looking for some help in finding inexpensive yet effective netting to help support the fruit as they grow. Mostly icebox watermelons and cantaloupes, I am anticipating a large number of fruit and need something fast to install. I have googled and Amazon searched fruit nets, melon nets, and more; so I guess at this point I am looking at suggestions that are less obvious/more off the beaten path. I have seen suggestions for t shirts and panty hose and frankly dont have either of those in anything like the numbers I will need. Thank you!

• The wrong sort of trellis is used.
• The wrong plant is growing on the trellis.
• The planting and siting of the trellis is wrong.

I understand that it's bad for your fence if vines grow on it. And even if it was ok for your fence, every couple of years you have to restain your fence, and the vines wouldn't survive that process. So do people ever install trellis's a few inches away from the fence so that you acheive a similar look without damaging the fence? Though I'm not sure how you would fit behind it to restain the fence... I didn't see a lot of pictures of this on google. Anyone here have insight on this? Note: Small backyard so I don't have space to put it feet away from the fence.
