How Do I Fix A Trellis

slipperyshoe

Hi Everyone,

I bought some willow trellis from Wilko's the other day but there are no fixing instructions or screws etc. Whats the best way to fix it to a (painted) brick wall?
I was thinking about fixing a couple of bits of baton running lengthways on the wall and then pinning the trellis with u-pins to them. I think that might look a bit odd though.
I guess my other option is to drill some holes and put some screws in the wall, then attach it with wire to these.
Does anyone have any suggestions or opinions?
Thanks in advance.

With that kind of trellis i tend to use tea cup hooks as this makes it easy to move if necessary.
Screws, even masonery nails and wire are equally as effective.

I have a couple of fan-shaped bits of willow trellis on the side of the garage, there were some old U tacs in the mortar of the wall and I just attached small bits of wire to these. Depending on the size, willow trellis isn't heavy and won't need much fixing. The two fans I have are 6ft by 3ft each and are only fixed in two places on each one - there is a clematis growing up each one and no problems yet!
