Before it’s installed in a garden, a trellis can appear unremarkable at best. The traditional arched trellis calls out for climbing plants and vines to give it an authentic look. Once a garden trellis is adorned with its full complement of plant life, the effect is simply stunning. A trellis becomes the portal to a garden, beckoning admirers to venture among the rows of glorious flowers.

Not all trellises are appropriate for a garden environment, however. Metal retains heat from intense sunlight, and that heat can stunt or completely curtail plant growth. On the other hand, a wooden frame remains relatively cool and inviting on sunny days. When selecting a trellis for your garden, be sure to select an advantageous material.
