DIY Gardening Wire Trellis: A Step-by-Step Video Tutorial112

A trellis is a great way to add vertical interest to your garden, provide support for climbing plants, and improve air circulation. You can buy trellises at most garden centers, but they can be expensive. A great alternative is to make your own trellis out of wire.

Making a wire trellis is a relatively easy project that can be completed in a few hours. The following video tutorial will show you how to make a simple wire trellis that is perfect for supporting climbing plants.

Materials
18-gauge galvanized wire
Wire cutters
Pliers
(Optional) Ruler or measuring tape

Instructions
Cut two pieces of wire that are twice the length of your desired trellis. These will be the vertical supports.
Form a loop at the end of each wire. This will help to anchor the trellis to the ground.
Cut a piece of wire that is the width of your desired trellis. This will be the horizontal crossbar.
Thread the horizontal crossbar through the loops at the top of the vertical supports.
Wrap the horizontal crossbar around the vertical supports and twist the wire together to secure it.
Continue adding horizontal crossbars at regular intervals until the trellis reaches the desired height.
To finish, cut off any excess wire and tuck any loose ends under.

Tips
Use galvanized wire to prevent rust.
The spacing of the crossbars will depend on the type of plants you will be supporting. For small plants, you can space the crossbars closer together. For larger plants, you will need to space the crossbars farther apart.
You can add additional support to the trellis by adding diagonal wires.
To anchor the trellis to the ground, you can drive stakes into the ground and attach the loops at the bottom of the vertical supports to the stakes.

With just a few simple materials and a little bit of time, you can make a beautiful and functional wire trellis for your garden.
