Built to last season after season, these solid cedar trellises are sturdy enough to support cucumbers, squash, and other vining vegetables. As plants naturally climb and sprawl, an A-frame trellis offers a strong frame for plants to latch onto while growing upwards. The vertical and horizontal cross pieces are 1" thick with rounded edges to support heavier plants without cutting into the stems.

A-frame garden trellises can be installed on top of a raised garden bed or directly on the ground.

Features & Benefits:

• Sturdy A-frame design: Provides robust support for climbing vegetables to grow vertically, including heavier vegetables such as cucumbers, squash and gourds.
• Solid cedar construction: Unique tongue and groove assembly is strong and lightweight, superior to other wood trellises. Dadoed crosspieces fit together to form a tight grid, we have found stronger than traditional lattices.
• Enhances garden design: A-frame trellises create a visually appealing focal point in your garden, showcasing the vertical growth of plants.
• Improved airflow & plant health: Elevating plants off the ground promotes better air circulation, reducing risk of diseases and minimizing contact with pests and soil-borne diseases, for healthier plants and harvests.
• Flexibility and portability: A-frame trellises are versatile and easy to move or reposition as needed, providing flexibility in garden design and planting.
• Made in the USA

Size Options:

Choose from three sizes to suit your specific gardening needs and space. Each cedar A-frame trellis has two panels. Dimensions below are the width and height of each side.

• Small: 30" W x 42" H
• Medium: 42" W x 48" H
• Large: 42" W x 60" H
• X-Large: 60" W x 60" H
  

When ordering an A-frame garden trellis for one of our Natural Cedar Raised Garden Beds, we recommend the small or medium trellis for a 3 ft. wide bed. The medium and large trellises fit perfectly on 4 ft. wide beds. And the X-Large trellis sits directly on the ground, providing a sturdy, freestanding structure ideal for supporting climbing plants and spreading vines.

The space between the trellis cross pieces (squares) is 4.75" x 4.75" on all sizes.

Assembly:

Straightforward assembly with just a power drill. Trellis kits come with detailed instructions, hardware and wood glue. Assembly involves arranging the vertical and horizontal cross pieces on a flat surface, then gluing the notches and applying pressure to form a grid. Once the cross pieces are in place, the frame can be attached with included screws, again applying wood glue to the notches where the cross pieces join the frame.

The top frame piece where the two trellis panels connect (the top of the "A") has two hinges pre-attached. The hinges allow the angle of the trellis to be adjusted, or folded flat for storage.

Trellises can be used on the ground inside raised beds, or for better height and stability, set on top of your raised bed. L-brackets are included to attach the inside edges of the A-frame to the raised bed.

These cedar trellises can be painted or stained, or left unfinished to gray naturally. We offer Eco Wood Treatment as one option. Eco Wood Treatment works by penetrating wood fibers to create a natural buffer against water and fungal decay. It increases wood's durability while creating an aged, silvery patina after just a few hours.

We recommend letting the boards sit in a garage, shed or covered area for 3-5 days to allow the boards to acclimatize to their new environment. This helps to prevent any cupping, warping, and gapping.
