Wide Fence Topper Trellis

Hello - I'm trying to find fence topper trellis panels, and most are a standard 1.83cm\6ft wide.

I need them nearer 7ft due to the distance between the current posts .

Anyone know where you can some longer ones that won't cost the earth.

    We've got 6ft fence panels and used 6ft trellis starting on one side and going straight along attaching ours to the tops of the panels and just bridging the gaps where the posts are. We then used garden wire to tie the tops of the trellis panels to each other at the top. This makes the whole structure more solid as the 'joins' between the trellis sections aren't inline with the posts.

    you could always go to the local fencing company and ask them for a price for 7 ft trellis panels,might not be that expensive,probably less than B & Q or Homebase etc.We had a non standard panel made locally to finish off our fencing so used one long one rather than cutting a panel down and using two.
