What is a trellis and how did they enter our lives?

Tapestry is a device that resembles a trellis in shape and serves as a point of support for plants: raspberries, grapes, etc. But, like any good invention, it perfectly combines beauty and functionality, which makes it indispensable for decorating the site.

Trellises are wooden, metal or plastic. You can choose the material suitable for you. And this allows you to use the design to design summer cottages of various styles: classic, modern, etc.

The first mention of trellis for grapes, as a decorative element, can be traced several centuries ago. She managed to maintain her popularity for a long time and even now she is recognized as an undoubted element of any well-groomed garden.


The design came to Russia from Europe, where it was used to decorate the garden space. Trellises for roses were especially popular. Today, when vertical, climbing plants are back in fashion, trellis is again experiencing a peak in demand and popularity.

Tapestries perfectly complement the plants, highlighting their most striking features. The plant, which was able to stretch vertically, much better absorbs the energy of the sun. And accordingly, it grows faster and has a healthier shade.

By learning to create trellises with your own hands, you can remake an old, terrible fence, adapting it to any decorative loach. Or planting a plant in a certain place, you can close the review on the unsightly parts of the site. Or arrange an interesting gazebo by arranging a trellis instead of a roof.

Tapestries are perfect for creating a living fence. Having positioned them correctly, you can enclose a recreation area or a place with a pool, a fountain, etc. Any space with such an original fence will look stylish and advantageous.


Types of trellis and which material is better to choose

The main materials are: plastic, wood, metal alloys. For cottages usually choose small wooden slats. About 15 mm wide.

Before you make the trellis, even at the stage of planning the framework, you need to take into account the dimensions of the future plant and its growth potential. The more voluminous the plant and its leaves are, the more durable and reliable the frame should be.

Appearance and shape can be completely different. Examples of trellis can be seen in the photo. Design is limited only by your imagination and physical abilities, but you can always hire a designer and a craftsman to make the design.

An important point is that the reliability and stability of the structure directly depends on the scale of the cells. The larger the scale, the less reliable and stable the whole structure will be. And small cells will create a powerful, reliable and safe structure.

It was found that the best option would be no more than 100 mm cells. Whetstones and slats are attached to each other using nails or any similar materials.

It is important not only to choose the scale of the cells well, but also to make the design homogeneous. And the cells should be of the same shape, design and size throughout the entire vertical.


As an interesting design solution, you can make several vertical or horizontal rows, with smaller or larger diameter elements. But, remember that everything should be in moderation and similar delights affect the reliability of the design.

If we talk about the types of trellis, then we can distinguish the shape of a square, triangle and rectangle in wooden elements. Plastic and metal are unlimited in design as much as wood.

Unusual materials when creating trellis

In an effort to save on materials or in the desire to adapt unnecessary trash, we often find interesting solutions. We share with them on the Internet and they are gaining popularity. For example, trellises from plastic pipes and the remains of reinforcing structures have become popular now.


This technique is suitable for creating a heavy-duty frame. It is able to withstand even a large number of ripened grapes.


To create a design you need:

  • Armature 300 cm long, 1 cm in diameter made of iron.
  • Plastic pipe with a length of about 60 cm and a width of 1.3 cm.
  • Metal clamps with screw.
  • Tool for working on metal.

The most important step is the correct measurements and, based on them, accurate calculations. If we make a mistake here, then the design may not work or its appearance, stability, etc. will suffer. The above materials will be enough for a trellis 250-300 cm wide. The length will vary depending on the number of plastic pipes.

Steps for creating a trellis step by step:

  • reinforcement is divided in half, each should be 150 cm long;
  • 150 cm of reinforcement are placed in the corners of the future design, they must go 40-60 cm into the ground;
  • through each meter, additional supports must be driven into the ground;
  • on all protruding supports, they put on pipes from above, which forms the basis for the structure;
  • further, using the clamps, a longitudinal row is created, the distance between them should be about 70 cm.

The result is a very durable, and most importantly, safe design. She is able to withstand even very powerful vines.

And most importantly, the materials for its manufacture often remain after a summer repair, and the service life is much higher than that of structures made of natural materials. Since the plastic is not susceptible to decay, moisture, dirt or temperature changes are not afraid of it.

I think I will not be mistaken if I say that every gardener tries to make his summer cottage unique, beautiful, stylish and original. Decorating a wall of a house with a trellis, especially if it is not in the best condition, is convenient and profitable. But with the help of this simple construction, you can successfully hide other "problem" places on your site. It serves as a support for plants: raspberries, grapes.
