Create an intimate garden area using a trellis draped in flowers or even fruit and vegetables if you would like to bring an edible component to your privacy trellis. The trellis can be a timeless lattice weave or be made out of wire, wood or metal material. When creating solitude, a trellis draped in plants is a fun and beautiful accession.
Trellis
A trellis is a construction, traditionally made from wood or metal, designed to provide support for plants. Trellises can be either free standing or secured against a wall. Attaching a trellis to a wall is a means to grow growing plants against the side of a building or other permanent construction. When developing a privacy fence to enclose a garden area or develop a visual barrier, a freestanding trellis is the way to go.
Free-Standing Trellis
Free-standing trellises have to be strong and well secured in order to support heavy plant substances and defy the wind. When constructing a trellis as a privacy fence, construct it as you would any fence using good fence posts set on concrete pads. Between the fence posts, wood lattice or a metal framework creates the trellis impact and provides an ideal structure for growing plants.
Selecting Climbers
When choosing climbing vines for a privacy fence trellis, the first aspect to think about is deciduous or evergreen. Deciduous vines lose their leaves in the fall and remain leafless during the winter. This works if the privacy fence encloses places only used throughout the growing season. Evergreen climbing vines maintain their leaves year, developing a private enclosure in most seasons. Clematis includes woody evergreen and deciduous flowering climbing vines, hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 11, depending of this variety. Increasing roses ( Rosa spp.) Make good additions. Based on the variety, roses are hardy in USDA zones 3 through 10.
Edible Privacy
It is possible to create a privacy fence on a trellis using edibles by planting climbing vegetable and fruit plants. Yearly vegetables will die back in the end of this growing season, but they grow rapidly and leaf out rapidly creating solitude early in the growing season. Vegetable plants like strawberries, beans, peas, cucumbers and small melons or squash require a support or they will trail all over the garden. Plant these delicious crops at the base of your privacy fence, and harvest fresh veggies all summertime.
