Trellises are an excellent alternative to traditional fencing, whether you want to create a border fence around your property or simply a partition to separate areas in your yard. Some panel trellises are even designed to slot into one another to create stretches of fencing. Not only are trellises often cheaper and easier to erect than traditional fences, you can also create a beautiful flowering fence with trellises. If you do decide to make a fence out of trellises, choose a dense plant that won’t lose too much of its foliage during winter to grow on the trellises, otherwise your yard will lack privacy.
