How do I attach a trellis on my wall?
A trellis can be attached to your wall depending on the wall material and the size of the trellis. Here are some steps to follow:
-
Mark the Positions: Hold the trellis against the wall and mark the place to attach the trellis.
-
Drilling Holes: Use a masonry bit to drill pilot holes into the wall.
-
Insert Anchors: Place masonry anchors plastic or metal into the holes to hold screws securely.
-
Mounting: Use screws and steel washers to attach the trellis to the wall, leaving one inch gap for airflow. Use battens to improve air circulation.
Which kind of trellises are best to hold creepers for higher growth, are there any DIY where we can use from our household items
It’s all depends on the type of plant you have and space availability. Pergola trellis and string trellis would be great to support heavy creepers which grow tall and need maximum space. For your balcony, wall mounted trellis can supports your vines and keep it lightweight. You can also use household items which are easy and affordable, like nails and hooks for wall, old wire hanger, wooden window frame, old racks, etc. Cuttoff side shoots, wrap your climbers around the frame and keep it simple. Enjoy the aesthetic looking climbers in your home!
