Each year I try something new in the garden. This year, I was looking for a different way to cage tomatoes. I have metal wire cages that are pretty flimsy and always seem to tip over after the tomato plant reaches 3 feet tall. This is my try at a wooden trellis in the shape of an obelisk...

The wife and I were shopping for a nice plant to place near the front of the house, we found the perfect one. Although I could see from her expression it was the right one but needed a little something…. That's when it happened she noticed a small WOOD trellis for SALE that would finish off the...

My mom is an avid gardener and wanted two trellises to grow vines on and provide some privacy from the neighbors. I built these up one afternoon and put them in the ground today. They stand just over 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide. The real challenge of this project was getting these in the...

Another quick outdoor project. I loosely based this trellis off the plans at Birds and Blooms , but I shortened it to 4 feet tall. A 7 foot tall trellis would dwarf our garden. I also got inspiration from Andrea Paulin's blog. I limited the number of side decorations - at only four feet, too...

The Trellis Yes you can grow Kiwi's in Western New York. All you need is a trellis. Having done a little timberframing, I was sure I could over complicate the whole process. So why not take those twisted rough sawn 2×6ish scrubber pallet pieces and build a trellis. Each "post" would be lagged...

Well My Dad decided that he wanted to make Mother mad again and went and bought some rose bushes(mom hates them). Then he asked me to build him a simple trellis for them to climb. Well I decided I would get in on the making Mother mad thing and go one step further. My Father is a Indiana...

We had a big blank section of wall on the outside of our house by the front door so I made a trellis out of treated lumber. Ripped some full dimension 1×6 decking down to 1"x 1" strips (with the help of my lovely wife on the outfeed side). Two carriage bolts through the strips at the bottom then...

This is a must build for any and all who wish to become a serious woodworker for the love of it. It takes skill, it takes imagination and most of all it takes dedication, and about 30 minutes on a Saturday afternoon to make it. If you look close you can see the craftsmen-ship in it's fine...

Hi All, Since it's summer, I thought I would share this… I made this tomato trellis out of some scrap cypress I had laying about and I made the trellis base out of pressure treated 4×4's and some 2×6 stock. The trellis joinery is all pegged mortise and tenon, and the base is half lap (quarter...

Thanks WoodGal for this "borrowed" design. I made it a favorite quite some time back and finally got a chance to make one for my home. It's in a new planting bed and will have climbing roses on it (another project). It's made with cedar and copper. Stands 6' above grade, 4' below, and is 5...

Gate I constructed from Pressure treated pine. I like that the gate frames the garden before you enter. It took four tries to make the arch. The heavy duty hinges aren't too attractive but were necassary to support the very heavy gate. It is plumb and square. The camera creates some distortion.

I created this back yard garden arbor in May of 2010 as a birthday present for my wife. I couldn't find a set of plans on the internet that I liked, so I created my own. Wood is treated pine and will be stained with a natural finish some time this summer. The trellis panels are molded plastic...

Some projects I made for a nursery about 4 years ago.

fun garden project to provide some patio privacy. couldn't find a cheap post hole digger, so hand dug the post holes, erected 6×6 posts, bandsaw cut the post caps, used 2×6 post ties, and ripped down treated stock to 1.25×2 for lattice work. lots of screws. just planted a bunch of...

Yep, the neighbors thought I was crazy when I tore out the grass in the front yard and put in these. Ah well. They're jealous of my strawberries and tomatoes now! Pretty simple construction. Four 5-sided garden beds built with 6" cedar boards from the big box home store. The beds are all 4'...

I built the fence in spring/summer 2013, from southern yellow pine, stained with a gray oil based transparent stain. The posts are topped with solar lights. It is 40' long. The pickets on the bottom of fence were added by my neighbor on other side of fence to contain his dogs, they were not...

This is a wall grape trellis that I built a couple weeks ago, but finally got the pictures together. It is constructed out of all heartwood Redwood. I didn't end up putting any finishes on it as I wanted it to naturally age, and didn't want it to affect the grapes in any way. After planning...

Trellis made from cedar and copper tube. The flowers growing on the triangular trellis are called Mandevilla. It is by far my favorite flower. I drag the pots and trellises inside every winter to keep them going…this will be the 3rd season. I am thinking of trying to sell some of the...

Hi All, A couple of years ago, I added a project to LJ that showed a tomato trellis that I built out of cypress. Well, I have been having trouble with stink bugs ruining my tomatoes the past two summers, so I decided to build some screens that would be light weight, easy to open up and also...

I thought I would share the trellis I built for my gardening wife. I used cedar picket fence slats from home depot for the inside and cut them down to size. I used 8 ft cedar boards screwed together for the uprights, and I bought simple cedar planters four the garden. I'm thinking of making a...
