Sandy!!..Those look awesome..what a fun place you are going to have to sit with Clematis all around you..you done good!!..Please share pics next year so we can see all the beauty you have created....Jeanne

Very nice, I designed some with lattice panels but my website if offline right now and I can't link to them.

These are very nice. Simple and the wire mesh will be hardly visible. I will buy a similar support to put on top of a low fence which divides the "dog allowed" and "dog not allowed" parts of my garden ;-) I have some clematis planted there and would like to achieve some variety in height.

BTW, I recently started planting along the fence in the "dog allowed" part and the results only remain satisfactory if I erect another fence in front of the existing one :-/ Especially the vines - clematis - suffer because the dog relieves himself around them AND then digs to cover the spot he's just used with soil. Invariably he breaks off clematis at the very ground! I will have to put mesh and some protruding bamboo supports around these plants so he cannot go near them. Annoying, isn't it, however I have to establish some plants on "his" side of the fence, too, otherwise I will live enclosed within a large dog pen (he is allowed around the entire house for security).

Sandi1, those look great. How many and what clematis cultivars will you be planting around the trellis?

Will there be a plant on each end of the arch support and two planted behind the bench? If not what do you have planned?
