Putting up a cedar trellis question

Richard Dollard

17 years ago

Hello,

I bought 2 cedar trellis' at Lowes yesterday. The bottom stakes are not long enough to put in the ground. I was thinking of either gas pipe with holes drilled through both the pipe and bottom pieces of the trellis and anchoring the 2 together with long nuts & bolts or just use wood stakes and drive them into the ground and then just screw the trellis onto the stakes. Do you all have any other options? Thanks, Richie

Well, I think I would use rebar, but then, I always go the cheapest route.. then you can use those pipe type strappy things, kind of look like a question mark... to hold the wood to the rebar..
I'm in the process of pounding in rebar right now, I'm dying to make a tippy pot thingy.. lol
Good luck.. Those are very pretty

Will you see the back side of the trellis? If not, you could use another piece of wood the same size as the legs and attach it to the back in the length you need and bolt it to the trellis, then bury the new legs in the ground.
