Although their function is to support climbing plants or vines, metal garden trellises are multipurpose. They add
ornament and character to a garden or other outdoor spaces and can become a decorative garden feature. Trellises
can also be used to divide a space, create privacy, hide or distract from an unsightly area. They are easy to install,
with little experience necessary.
Metal Trellises:
Determine a Good Location
Be sure that your chosen location provides the adequate amount
of sunlight according to the instructions that are included with
your plant using your trellis for a climbing plant or vine.
Potted Plants: To ensure proper stability, choose a pot that is at
least 2 feet deep. Placing a few inches of gravel in the bottom,
before filling with soil, will provide adequate drainage so the
stakes of the trellis are not sitting in standing water.
Preparation
Clear any debris that may prohibit the trellis stakes from being
fully pressed into the ground, such as mulch, pine straw or
stone.
Push stakes into Ground
If the ground is soft enough, you can push the trellis stakes into
the ground with your foot, while stabilizing with both hands. If
the ground is hard, try running water over the area to soften the
soil. If additional force is needed, gently tap with a rubber
mallet but, protect the trellis by placing a piece of scrap wood
between the mallet and the trellis rail.
Level
Use a level to confirm that the trellis is level both vertically and
horizontally. Use your foot to pack the soil tight around the
stakes after installed.

Metal Trellises and Shepherds Hooks
Shepherds Hooks:
Determine a Good Location
Be sure that your chosen location provides the adequate amount
of sunlight according to the instructions that are included with
your plant.
Preparation
Clear any debris that may prohibit the shepherds hook stakes
from being fully pressed into the ground, such as mulch, pine
straw or stone.
Push Stakes into Ground
If the ground is soft enough, you can push the shepherds hook
stakes into the ground with your foot, while stabilizing with one
or both hands. If the ground is hard, try running water over the
area to soften the soil. If additional force is needed, gently tap
with a rubber mallet but, protect the shepherds hook by placing
a piece of scrap wood between the mallet and the stake rail. Use
your foot to pack the soil tight around the stakes after installed.
Level
Use a level to check that both posts are vertical and the trellis is
level horizontally. For vertical level, wiggle the post until you
reach level, and then
compress the soil to
hold. For horizontal
level, drive the higher
post in increments until
level is reached.
