Equipment

  • Scissors

Materials

  • Tree Branches
  • Natural Twine

Instructions

  • Gather your sticks, branches, and twigs and experiment with the layout on the ground or patio.
  • Using natural twine, lash the branches together at intersecting places.
  • To make an arch or any curved area, use live branches from shrubs or trees that need pruning.
  • Dig a couple of holes for your trellis to be set into.
  • Tamp the soil down around the base to keep it in place.
  • Plant climbing vines and other tall ornamentals at the base.

Notes

For a stronger hold you could try zip ties or small nails instead of using twine but I don't think it will look as nice.
