FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Smart Garden Willow Expanding Garden Trellis?
The exact dimensions vary as it is expandable. While specific closed and maximum open sizes aren't provided, it's designed to be adjusted to fit various spaces. A related model (ET90) measures 0.9m x 1.8m when fully extended.
How do I secure the trellis to a wall?
You can attach the trellis to a wall using screws (not included). It's recommended to use robust screws suitable for outdoor use and the type of wall material. Gently insert the screws through the thicker willow sections for best stability.
Is this trellis suitable for heavy climbing plants?
It is best suited for medium-weight climbers like roses and clematis. For very heavy plants, consider reinforcing the structure or using multiple trellises.
What is the hole size in the trellis?
As a natural product, the hole dimensions will vary. As a guide, the holes are typically between 0.5cm and 1cm in size.
What material is the trellis made from?
The trellis is made from natural willow, which is a renewable resource.
Will the brown color fade over time?
As a natural willow product exposed to the elements, the brown color will naturally weather and may fade over time, contributing to a more rustic appearance. Applying an outdoor wood sealant can help maintain its color and integrity.
Troubleshooting
Trellis is not staying expanded to the desired size.
Ensure the trellis is expanded evenly. If it continues to slip, you may need to secure it more firmly to its mounting surface or use small ties to hold specific expansion points.
Difficulty attaching trellis to a wall or fence.
Use sturdy screws or garden-appropriate fixings. Pre-drilling small pilot holes in the willow stakes can make insertion easier. Ensure the wall or fence material can support the trellis and plant weight.
Willow appears to be cracking or splintering.
This can be a natural occurrence with willow, especially in dry conditions. Apply a suitable wood oil or sealant to protect the willow and prevent further splitting. Handle with care during adjustments.
