stability

Love the open organized look of this trellis and that it matches the pattern in the windows. question is how is this stabilized as thin as the strips are to support a climbing rose? Thanks for the post

It is pretty stable as it is fastened by spacers off of the house every other intersection-- So it has many. The material is Azek, and was cut to 1"x1". It has been up for almost 4 years, and no problems. I think the key is many supports, and not relying on just a few to do the job.
