What Can a Long Timber Trellis Do for a Garden?

From very small areas to large, open landscapes, a trellis is a natural way to create boundaries, walls, and enclosures. A long, narrow trellis like this one marks the edge of a garden, frames a walkway, and adds height and rhythm without closing the space in. Climbing plants can grow up the posts and across the top over time.

What Makes a Timber Frame Trellis Kit Easy to Assemble?

Every Western Timber Frame arbor and trellis kit arrives numbered, pre-cut, pre-drilled, and pre-notched, so assembly is fast and straightforward. The kits are heavy duty and built with full-size timbers.

The joints use Western Timber Frame’s Dovetail Difference® joinery. The pre-cut dovetails interlock for a tight fit while still allowing the timber to expand and contract naturally through the seasons. The Dovetail Difference® is protected by U.S. Patent 9,797,149 B2.

Western Timber Frame can match the trellis to the architectural style of your home and garden, from the brace profile to the stain color.
