London based close pattern gardern trellises?
I am looking for about 5 6ft x 2ft wooden trellises.
However, all the trellises I have yet seen of this side have 6 inch squares. What I want is a trellis with a smaller grid (ie 3" squares). If you look at the first photo on this page http://www.woodyalan.co.uk/trellis.html you'll see just what I mean. The left hand trellis is a 6x2 'standard pattern' trellis whilst the 3rd from the left is the 6x2 'close pattern' version. The only problem is that this guy is in Essex and I don't have transport. Does anyone know any London based shops/centers which would sell what I want? Thanks for advice. |

A big advantage of building in situ is that (if you have woodwn posts) you can ignore the posts and put in long uninterrupted runs of trellis - much better visual effect than panels, plus you have complet flexibility on mesh size. pk |

Have you done this yourself? Do you have any tips/hints? I assume you mean nailing thru every cross junction. Just read this through, and it makes me sound quite stupid! but if anyone has any hints to help me make it look nice and professional I'd appreciate it. Thanks |

Select a piece of timber of the desired width to use as a spacer to ensure you get straight lines when you're nailing. -- William Tasso |
