We have decided to completely re-do our front garden.
Instead of grass, we're paving (with a small shaped area of grass in the middle) and various other super features but....... can I find a trellis that I want to separate the front path/porch from the garden? Can I eckers like!
Apart from the obvious places such as B&Q, Homebase yadda yadda (and Wilkos) can somebody please recommend a place to look for a decent shape/size trellis.
For info, I have looked on Crocus and Gardens4All or GardeningPlanet or something like that lol.
Also for info, we don't want to pay more than £20 for it, seeing as the size we want
should be about 6 x 2 (possibly 3)
I'm after an angled trellis, sloping away from the house as the porch does and it's driving me crazy that I just can't find one!!!!!

YP, there are some on ebay. :-\ Other than that, I am useless! I am always after trellis for this and that, and am far to cheap (and poor :'() to buy it.

If there is a prison near you see if they have a shop.
Kirkham prison near Blackpool have all sorts of stuff made by the inmates on holiday.
Its cheap but well made Trellis, Bird boxes Planters (on legs) etc.

Try a local woodyard - they do this sort of stuff at about half the cost of B&Q etc and better quality. If it's something unusual, they should be able to knock it up for you. Or do it yourself like Wardy says - it's pretty straightforward if you are willing to spend a bit of time and effort.

Gee, if I ever fall foul of the law I hope I end up at Kirkham - holidays indeed!
Btw as a first year allotmenteer I am finding this site and the vast amount of info found within invaluable. Thanks to everybody.

Really cheap trellis free offcuts from building site or £25 for an 3m x6m concrete reinforcing mesh, if you have to buy it.
you can even make a nice shady are with a cage, and the plants hide it after a while
