Did it have an umbrella top? I saved that one but don't remember what thread I picked it up from. I'll keep looking. That one was called giverny-tuteur.jpg

Aliska, it has a round circle at the top so yes, I guess it could be umbrella.

Thank you,
Carla

I hope whoever posted it won't take offense at my reposting it because I cannot find the thread I saved it from and it may no longer be available.

Is it this one?

There is another nice one on a thread I started given in the posted link.

Here is a link that might be useful: Need help with this planting bed and trellis

Yes, thank you for the link.

No offence taken Aliska !

Thank you, cupshaped, that is gracious of you. Did you design, make, or buy that pillar trellis? I just love it.

Olga had that wonderful thread about welding with some very professional drawings/schematics with all sorts of trellis and arches, or was that you? I need to keep people straighter around here.

I have that Monet Umbrella trellis. I got mine from J&P, But I bet you can make it from rebar if you are skillful for a lot less $$$.

I think the ones that Robert has are very similar to the ones that Pat Henry has, and it seems to me they would be quite easily made. One of my children is making me three which he had intended to have finished for Mother's Day, but job and family slowed him down. It will be my mother's day when he gets them finished, even if it is in the cold dead of winter. Everyday is mother's day, and especially when a thoughtful child "makes" something for you. I love my flat monitor and I love all the other things they buy, but I really like it when one takes the time to "make" something that he knew I would like and needed.

It may not be the kind of rebar I'm thinking about. Some of the metal looks like it's flatter and spiralled like an old plant stand I bought. I wonder if you can buy any of the parts off-the-shelf.

Just plain would be sufficient because it's going to be covered anyway, one would hope, but the extra design flair does add to it while the plant is just getting going. Unless I'm imagining things again.

It's amazing how addictive my rebar teepees have become for me. It takes me about 2 minutes to install one, and the cost is about $10. The roses and clematis cover them very quickly. I like them because they offer opportunities to grow the tall lanky roses, climbers, David Austins that "climb", as well as CLEMATIS...

Do you have any trouble with the canes getting rubbed raw in the wind? I love rebar, but the texture can sure do a number on my skin if I forget where I have a stake. I started cutting up an old garden hose and slipping it over my stakes, but that would look awful on a teepee.
