For the arrangement of garden and garden areas, hardworking mankind has invented many designs necessary for the growth and proper development of plants. Tapestry can be confidently attributed to your favorite and popular inventions. The external simplicity of the garden trellises changes the appearance of the gardens with original forms made with their own hands.

"I will throw the grape seed into warm earth", - this is how the cultivation of any garden and garden crops begins. But as long as tight clusters and fruits develop and fill with aromatic juice, it will be a long time. Therefore, it's time to start building trellises.
Garden trellis - from the vine to the screen of plastic
The first primitive trellis hedges were created in warm European countries and represented the beautification of parks and gardens of noble people and ordinary villagers.
The trellises were made of cut grapes, which were skillfully woven diagonally and firmly fastened together.
The subsequent models of the trellis were built already from wooden bars - horizontal and vertical, reinforced with carrier slats.
The collected wooden lattice in the form of small diamonds - the trellis was a design serving as a vertical support for plants and crops. The superiority of the ecological trellis wooden allows you to remain designs environmentally friendly and attractive.
The development of man-made trellis culture on the cultivation of grapes, hops and apple trees on dwarfish stocks has reached fantastic heights. Simple materials and designs of diamond-shaped trellis style chevron, diamond and mill today replaced more practical and durable trellises made of plastic pipes and nets.
Tapestry in the garden can be an independent support, which is safely attached and attached to a stationary building in the desired corner or a group of trellises in the form of screens and screens.
Therefore, almost every gardener at the beginning of the summer season asks himself the question: "From what materials and how to make trellis own hands."
Trellomania
Numerous shops and boutiques of goods for gardeners abound with ready-made trellis designs, resembling miniature tram stops of the 60s, majestic pedestals, curbstones for voting and arches for the wedding of newlyweds.
Naturally, wild grapes, climbing roses or twisted hops, tomatoes without a difference, where exactly grow and please the owner of the site.
And the process of making trellis for roses with their own hands made of wire is not difficult. But I want to make the trellis durable, easy to install and save the fertile soil of the suburban area and the golden time of spring works.

Garden trellises can be divided into manufacturing materials (wood, metal, plastic) and the intended purpose. For example, trellises for the cultivation of tomatoes taller than 80 cm, raspberries or trellis for whipping roses, installed using curved base elements.
Then create stiffeners of the trellis from the horizontal bridges and direct the stalk of the plant. And, as a guiding element can act any metal easily blown structures, such as rims of bicycle wheels.
But the trellis and dacha maximalism do not stop at the result. And then came to the aid of plastic mesh for trellis, rapidly increasing the coefficient of soil use, the convenience of weeding and feeding the plants.
plastic mesh for trellis
Vertical plastic trellis grid of minimum weight is easy to install and mulch. It is enough to fix the grid from a solid, non-perishable under the rain and sunlight material to a supporting metal or wooden structure and to the ground.
But the apogee of trellis was the construction of trellises from plastic pipes, traditionally used for water pipes. The design of cheap pipes and elements of the system made of plastic are literally created for the development of plant stems and flowers of our cottages and gardens.
Helpful Tips
The grid for trellis is selected by the color and cross-section of the cell. The cross-section of the grid is chosen depending on the size of the leaves and weeds of the plants. For the installation of a large-mesh net, support pillars of metal or plastic (3-4 pcs.) And clips for fastening the mesh are prepared. Supporting vertical stands are placed along the edges of the bed. For plants with long whips, the height of the racks is selected at least 2 m. The designs of the grid trellis are strengthened by lateral tensioned cables fixed in the ground. The distance between racks is chosen arbitrarily.
plastic trellis
Modern plastic trellises can be made of PVC (PVC), the designs of which are divided into types:
• one-plane (grid and hedge)
• Two-plane (in the form of a house or balcony) and an arch.
For all plastic trellises, it is necessary to build additional racks and frames, which create additional rigidity for the structure with wind load and plant pressure.
In addition, the necessary condition for the stability of the trellis is the reinforcement of the pillars and frames. As a convenient fastener, preference is given to hooks and clips that do not impede access to the structure during installation and dismantling.
PVC pipes in the form of bush holders and trellis easily take a curved shape, do not become droopy in the rain and keep the weight of ripening tomatoes. How to make a trellis of plastic pipes with your own hands?
We collect plastic trellis with our own hands
The simplest version of the trellis from PVC pipes is a strictly geometric figure in the form of a ladder of the Swedish wall, which is the pillars that are assembled from pieces of plastic and fixed in selected fittings.
To install the trellis in the ground, select a reinforcing bar with a length of up to 80 cm, which is installed in a pipe and the entire structure is buried in the ground. A more interesting option is a trellis of PVC pipes in the form of a house with a roof.
tapestry from plastic pipes in the form of a house
Structurally the trellis in the form of a house has 4-6 supports (4 corner and 2 central), for which the pipes of vertical racks - pipes ¾ "are selected. However, the diameter of plastic pipes is not limited to standard sizes. Naturally, it can be pipes of a larger diameter, but in this case, for joining the elements it will be necessary to drill holes or select clamps.
The total height of the side racks is 2.40 m (ground part - 1.35 m and underground 1.05 m). The length of the two central supports is 2.3 m. For the installation of vertical racks, it is necessary to prepare the base. Supports of plastic pipes from below reinforce the reinforcing bar, buried in the ground and poured with concrete solution. Two gable roof arcs are assembled from pipes ½ or ¾ "and fixed to the fitting 90 °. Then we select along the length of the transverse edges of the tubes ½ "and fix them on the top of the central vertical racks.
Cross the skylights of the roof of the house we fix in the center of the pipes of the arch of the pediment using the tee.
Boxes with earth and plants can be placed on the ground or build low benches for containers with earth.
round and arched trellises
For self-construction of trellises with a house, it is not necessary to bend pipes made of PVC. If you want to make an arched or circular construction, you will have to bend the pipes.
How to make a circular stand for peonies, shown in the video.
