Trellis installation in Dawlish. Garden screening, fence extensions, climber supports fitted securely.
Need More Height or Privacy in Your Garden?
Trellis is brilliant for adding privacy without the weight and cost of solid fencing. Perfect for topping off existing fences, screening bins or oil tanks, or giving climbing plants something decent to grow on. Quick to fit and makes a big difference.
💡 Pro tip: Trellis as a fence topper gives you extra privacy while keeping things lighter and more affordable than full panels. Plus it looks better - solid 6ft fencing can feel like you're in a prison yard.

Good to Know
> 🌿 **Plant advice:** I'm not a gardener, but I know what works structurally. Heavy climbers like wisteria need heavy-duty support. Lighter stuff like clematis is fine on standard trellis. Your local garden centre will sort you on the plant side. **Combine with:** - Fence panel repair (sort dodgy panels at the same time) - Garden gate repair (matching trellis over the gate looks smart) - Fence post replacement (needs solid posts to fix trellis to) **Related services:** - Close board fencing (if you need solid privacy instead) - Fence panel repair (strengthen what you're fixing trellis to) - Garden gate repair (trellis archway over gates)
Frequently Asked Questions about Trellis installation in Dawlish
Can I put trellis on top of my fence to make it higher?
Yeah, that's a common use for trellis and usually the best way to add height without needing planning permission. As long as the total height stays under 2 metres (or 1 metre if it's next to a road), you're generally fine. I'll fix it securely so it doesn't blow off in the first Devon gale.
What's the difference between cheap and decent trellis?
Cheap trellis uses thin battens and staples - it falls apart in a year or two. Decent trellis has proper thickness, screwed or nailed joints, and pressure-treated timber. It costs a bit more but lasts five times longer. I can supply either, but I'll always recommend the better stuff.
Will trellis hold up clematis or a heavy climber?
Depends on the trellis. Standard diamond trellis is fine for lighter climbers like clematis. For heavy stuff like wisteria or big roses, you need heavy-duty trellis or a proper framework. I'll advise what'll work based on what you're growing.
Can you attach trellis to a wall?
Absolutely. I use battens to hold the trellis off the wall about 30-40mm - gives the plants room to twine behind and lets air circulate. Stops damp problems and makes the plants happier. Just need to check the wall's solid enough first.
