A great idea and good quality but with one drawback - the length is not quite right to drill into mortar top and bottom - drilling into brick is really hard. My neighbours have regular jasmine (Jasminum officinale) climbing up their metal drain pipes and it's fine because the pipes are huge, metal and sturdy. Opinion on whether climbing plants should be grown on the façades of houses is as varied as the plants themselves. To the right of it, you can see a tiny Brunnera macrophylla ‘Mr Morse’ which I’ve just taken from a larger plant to see if it will take over winter.Bought four for large pot with climbing roses and clematis, trying to obscure drainpipe and has done the job very well. These decorative metal garden trellises are manufactured from steel with an rust effect coating for décor and protection against weathering.

Also suitable are: Dutchman's pipe, hops and leaf akebia vine, and if you want the foliage to be more lush and abundant, go with: trumpet vine, grapevine, and various ' wild vines. The Southwold Drainpipe Trellis is supplied as one fully welded piece and has fixing plates that can be used to screw to walls. Others are more sceptical about the value of a living coat of vegetation around a house or concerned about the potential impact on the building.Often a lower lying rope (as with system 1020 or 1030) is sufficient; together with the downpipe and the clamps, it can create an attractive climbing field and stabilise the greenery (from wind, etc. In special cases, downpipes can be greened directly, (that is, without additional climbing support), but in most cases, it is better to install some support ropes to avoid damaging these elements. The finish is like any natural rusted metal and care should be taken initially as the rust may transfer onto clothes and furnishings. Planting vegetables, flowers, or other plants in the garden bed can also add color and interest to your yard.

This garden wall trellis is from the Ingelton design which features are ball finial detailing and traditional arched top design. Yet the basic concept of a ‘green wall’ is nothing new: we know that the ancient Egyptians built arbours covered with vine branches and that, in classical Rome, the cooling effect of climber plants on buildings was gratefully exploited.

Our maintenance free metal wall trellis panels will soften and decorate garden walls and are available in a series of finishes to complement your outside space. Only the 'powerhouses' -- wisteria, fleece vine, bittersweet, and possibly kiwi-- should be ruled out for a downpipe. The mounting of a light-weight trellis directly on the downpipe is possible, but is a special case, as structural damage is still possible here when the greening is full or vigorous. This stunning metal trellis is manufactured from 7mm thick powder coated steel for extra durability. Due to the height, comes in two section, quick and easy to fit together using only two nuts and bolts which are supplied.
