Project Profile: Freestanding Planter Trellis for House Plant Journal

We really love the House Plant Journal blog (houseplantjournal.com) run by Darryl Cheng and have been following along for a while now. We recently had the opportunity to create this custom Freestanding Planter Trellis for his Pothos Marble Queen. The trellis created for Darryl was 12" x 36" with 10" interior stakes that are 4" apart.

Be sure to follow Darryl for tons of great house plant wisdom!

PRODUCT FEATURE: THE NEW TRELLIS WORKS TRELLISITO

TRELLISITO: ADDING A “LITTLE” GREEN TO A PERSONAL SPACE

Bring a “little” trellis growth into a personal space, and create some tranquility, freshness, and delight to your environment. Introducing Trellis Works’ new tiny trellis feature: The Trellisito.  which is a scaled down version of our full-size Freestanding Garden Trellis (less the angle trim). We use the same 12 gauge galvanized wire welded into a 2” x 2” matrix, and apply an epoxy primer and powder coat finish for the Trellisito. The ground stakes are an extension of the trellis wire, which provides for a simple one step installation procedure. (Actually, two steps if you include the process of opening the box when your order arrives.)

These small trellises are designed to be used with small potted plants. We offer The Trellisito in four sizes and four standard colors so you can pair the trellis design with your pottery of choice. If you have a specific size and/or color you are looking for that we do not already offer, please use our freestanding trellis quote form to send us the details for a price quote.

We encourage cultivating your project from seeds to an abundance of intertwined growth, and find enjoyment in seeing the tendrils of a twining vine reach for the trellis wires as the plant develops. For those who prefer an accelerated program, you may use a small established plant of your choice and carefully commingle the existing growth among the trellis wires. Just make sure the variety of vine you choose will benefit from the trellis (see our previous post for information on types of vines).

The Trellisito is a small and simple project with a variety of uses. A few ideas:

• A great way to teach kids about the growing process and responsibility of taking care of plants • Gift one to a coworker for their desk • Place a couple in a bay window or on your kitchen windowsill • Use a few down the center of a table for a living centerpiece at a barbecue or dinner party • Place one on a ledge or shelf inside your home for an indoor green element

PRIVACY SCREENING WITH TRELLISES

A common application for a trellis is to create a visually attractive element for privacy or separation. This may be along a property line between neighbors or any area where the goal is to create a division using natural growth between two spaces. 

Using trellises as privacy screening can be done in many creative ways, and examples of this application include:

Mount a trellis to an existing freestanding wall or fence to create a higher line of visual obstruction. For instance, by attaching an 8 foot trellis to a 6 foot wall you gain two feet of privacy screening. Many local code jurisdictions have wall and fence height limitations, and some do not consider a “trellis” within this restrictive category. Consult with your local city ordinance for direction in your location–you may be surprised at what you can achieve with a trellis while remaining code compliant.

Attach single plane or 3-D trellis panels between wood or steel posts to create a “fence trellis.” We can offer installation details and brackets for this application, and will provide steel 3” square posts that are powder coated to match the trellis panel upon request. Please use our quote request form to request a proposal for this application.

Our freestanding garden trellis can be strategically placed to provide privacy screening on a smaller scale, and used in multiple sequences as desired. The self-contained stakes allow for easy re-positioning or temporary screening throughout the yard or garden.

Similarly, implementing our freestanding garden planter trellis in a pot or planter with screening in mind creates a moveable or permanent element for your privacy needs.

For more depth to your planter trellis, use our 3-D panel with a planter. We provide stakes using the 12 gauge trellis wires extended at the bottom, and in this application the plant can grow within the core of the trellis panel or along the front, depending on the planter size.

These are some of the ideas and uses we commonly provide for customers who are using vertical plant growth for the dual purpose of natural beauty and privacy. We are always looking for additional applications, and you are welcome to share with us your thoughts and creative ideas.
