Offer climbing plants room to grow with the support of a trellis. Plant trellises are open structures that encourage far-reaching plants like vines, roses, and more to stretch and spread, transforming the plant-ready panels into lush tapestries. They draw gardens upward, so outdoor (and even indoor) spaces are filled with the beauty of plant life. Trellises are constructed from several materials, including plastic and metal, and are available in a variety of designs. Choose from our selection to give your garden a little lift.
