I received the trellises today and plan to grow some flowering vines. We need a better view from our den windows so we don't stare out at a red brick wall. We're in a garden home and our house has 9 feet of space between homes until it widens to a small backyard. I was pleasantly surprised to find the Circle of Birds Iron Gothic Trellis was sturdy enough to not use anything to support it at the top. My neighbors didn't want any attachment on their bricks. The birds are subtle and will be attractive for all ages not just a Victorian gardener.
