Steel Trellis Part II

I liked the results of my first trellis that I shared here, so  I decided to duplicate them in the backyard.  I have two young star jasmine climbers and had them on their original steaks.  After adding the trellis, I already like the width it looks like the jasmine will cover.  I am really "diggin" ( No pun intended)  the contrast of the wood fence with the steel wire. 
If you are interested in seeing the step by step process for the steel trellis go here.  Otherwise, here are some shots of the completed project.

I can't wait for the jasmine to cover the whole fence!  The smell will be heavenly.

Be Well,

Steel Trellis DIY Part:1

Thank you for all your kind responses to my exterior updates.  Here is the easy "How to" on the steel trellis.  It was so easy and under 10 bucks.  Sometimes the most simple of DIY's bring me the most joy. 

You will only need two supplies.  Galvanized steel wire and screw eyes ( picture below.)

Be sure to buy steel wire so the wire will hold up in the elements and not rust.

We measured out a 12" by 12" grid, marking the wall with a pencil.  Drill pilot holes for the placement of the screw eyes. 

Then simply string steel wire from the lowest screw eye to the highest on the same side laterally. Duplicate on the other side.  Continue the same process horizontally finishing by twisting the excess wire around the trellis. ( Pictured above.) 

Besides the modern appeal of this trellis,  I also liked the idea of being able to add to it as your vine grows.  I plan to continue the trellis over our garage door as soon as the vine grows another foot or two. 
I was also asked by a few followers what type of vine it is.  It is Wisteria.  The vine is covered with beautiful green foliage and clumps of purple hanging flowers.  A few more months and it will be full of blooms!


Be Well,
