I needed several trellises for the plants in my flower and vegetable garden. Since they are very costly in the stores and rather simple to make, I decided to make my own. I had plenty of old lumber and molding left over from building our house, so my husband and I made our own, and they look good and work great. We also built a small fence to support some climbing roses. You can design each one differently and make it the size you need for a particular plant. Remember to give it a coat of paint or sealer so that it will last longer outdoors.
