Why Go with a Metal Trellis?

[Jerry Peed]

Trellises are great fixtures of cosmetic and functional design of your home and garden. You can add a trellis to your wall indoors and decorate it with a variety of ornaments throughout the seasons, festoon it with lights, or just leave it on its own to make a unique impression in your interior design.

You can also add a trellis to the garden, whether a wall trellis or a freestanding model that will serve not only as a fixture of the hardscaping of your outdoor spaces but will give your climbing plants some space to grow.

Honeysuckles, melons, morning glories, beans, peas, climbing roses, and many other crops and ornamentals will love the function that a trellis provides, offering them up more vertical space to reach for the light. A garden trellis can serve more than one benefit for you as a homeowner. Climbing vines and plants will love it, and it will really make the setting pop.

But there are many trellises for you to choose from, and many garden plant trellises and even some chiefly ornamental trellises are made from wood, so why would you want a metal trellis instead?

Add Rich Aesthetic Detail

For one thing, a metal trellis has much greater potential to spruce up a setting than a wooden trellis does, if only for the fact that most wood trellises are plain while many metal garden trellises are ornately decorated.

Most, but not all, wooden trellises are plainly featured made of intersecting pieces of plain wood stapled or glued together. While this works wonders for climbing plants, it doesn’t offer quite as much to the decoration of outdoor space as a thoughtfully detailed metal plant trellis.

They Last Much Longer

Secondly, and most importantly, metal trellises are built to last. There are probably some really tough wooden trellises out there, but very little can stand up to the elements in the same way that durable wrought iron can. Strong, durable, and resilient, a wrought iron trellis, decorous or plain, is going to last for many years in your garden, and over time it will become an esteemed feature of the landscaping.

Wooden trellises simply lack the longevity of metal models, and without a few years, they warp, rot, discolor or fall apart. They’ll need to be periodically replaced, whereas a high-quality metal trellis will last for years if not a lifetime.
