Build frames out of wood

Before you yourself to build, you should first consider how big the trellis should actually be. Small rose trellises are first screwed together and then attached, with larger ones the frame must first be set up and then the grid attached. For larger trellises, use two support beams and one crossbeam, with the two support beams firmly in the ground must be anchored - otherwise the entire structure can fall over quickly, for example because the load from a climbing rose that has become very extensive got too big. These trellises are usually stable enough to be able to be set up freely. For smaller trellises, a frame made of sturdy wooden slats is often sufficient, which are screwed together in the desired shape (it does not always have to be rectangular!) And fastened directly to the wall. Make sure that the Distance between trellis and wall must be at least 10, better 20 centimeters.

Make a suitable trellis: from wood, wire ropes or welded wire mesh

Once the frame is ready, you can start working on the trellis. There are different possibilities: A very easy to make trellis consists of a wooden frame and one in the right shape and size welded reinforcement mat - you can have these cut to size at the hardware store and only need to be attached to the frame at home attach. Another variant is to simply buy different wire ropes and stretch them into the frame as a trellis. However, both components - both the welded wire mesh and the wire ropes - rust quickly and should therefore be treated preventively. Trellis made of wood, on the other hand, can be made from slats, which are either attached to the frame in a grid pattern or simply as cross slats. The wood should also be treated with wood preservatives against rot.

Tips

Not only the trellis should be built as stable as possible - roses in full foliage and full bloom can be very heavy reach - the posts must also be firmly anchored in the ground, for example with so-called joist hangers and through Setting in concrete.
