Trellis panels brighten up any garden with a decorative place to grow plants and add a touch of natural beauty to an otherwise ordinary fence. Of course, they can also be affixed as a standalone panel onto a wall to bring a little colour to other features too.
If you like the idea, there are several types of trellis for climbing plants available, and each has its own unique appearance and benefits.
To help you decide between the trellis types, we’ve put together this handy guide so you can easily assess your options.
4 types of trellis panels for your garden
Square
A traditional squared appearance for those who like things clean and classic. This gridded pattern is perfect for those who want a sturdy and simple base to grow climbing plants. Your options are flexible and you can have square trellis panels placed on top of standard opaque panels for that decorative touch or you can affix standalone panels to walls purely for plant growth purposes.
Diamond
The diamond trellis panel boasts much the same benefits as square trellises, serving as a handy grid for plants to grow across and grip onto. However, the diamond trellis pushes the envelope that extra bit more in terms of elegance. They can also be placed atop a fence as an attractive feature or they can be used for an entire fence to create a natural plant barrier. A panel or two can also be affixed to walls to liven them up with a bit of plant life.
Privacy lattice
Do you like the look of a lattice but are worried about privacy? By choosing privacy trellis panels, you can enjoy this stylish option while also protecting the privacy of your property. These panels will arrive with smaller gaps which reduce visibility significantly. Once plants are grown over these panels, privacy will be enhanced even more.
Concave and convex
Not all trellis panels have to be flat topped. Here at Harrow Fencing, we supply all of the above trellis panel options and we also provide concave and convex panels for those who prefer a curved top. Adding some shape and soft beauty to your garden, they can be placed in a row if you choose, creating a stunning waved pattern along your garden.

How to find high-quality trellis panels
Simply put, buying any sort of fencing too cheaply can give you headaches further down the line and lead to costly repairs and replacement. This includes trellises where the decorative appearance as well as the quality is important to provide a durable and beautiful finish. Some cheaper trellis fences have not been made with impact resistance in mind, which could lead to a problem further down the line.
To avoid these shortcuts, make sure you find high-quality trellis panels from an experienced provider, such as the team at Harrow Fencing. Established over 60 years ago, our company is locally trusted and highly accredited to provide trellis fencing that is made to measure and of the very highest standard.
