Specially made trellises. Special made trellises.

okay, I saw a few pics but I can't find them like where to buy. I been to all the sites and came to conclusions that theses are customize made . So, here is a question. Has anyone has something like that made ? Where do you go to get something like that ? More pics below. I hope this works Bec I have not tried posting at all.
Thanks

    Wow, How it got double headings first it was too long then it doubles after I deleted . Anyways, so far so good. Here are a few more pics that I got saved.

    Looks like they are metal, right? You go to an iron works/metal works/artist, and in all likelihood they would be thousands of dollars. If you could settle for straight lines, you could get a handyman/carpenter to do it for much less in pressurized lumber or cedar.

    yikes that much. Never knew they could be that expensive. Yes , they are metal. No wonder, no one sells them. Guess, I have to see price that or similar trellis like that Luke a walkway kinda :)
    Thanks Jana :)

    I agree; those were probably made to spec for a landscape designer. You could get a similar effect by setting up a series of arches, spaced equidistant and run a stringer along the top to connect them, as if one long arbor?

    I think I saw someone on eBay who made regular arbors in custom widths, maybe check there! HTH! (It’s a beautiful effect!). :-)

    I had bookmarked this site a while back; they had something similar under “arches.”

    I don't mind a simple one even like a monkey bar. Maybe I have to buy iron and find someone to do smothering or whatever.
    I saw a pic of somebod's when I first started and I totally fall in love Bec of colours and all....I am trying to find it but I think I must have deleted. I did not know how it was done Bec it is just a full bloom. But as time goes by this pic is always in my mind.
    Figured, i might as well . ..
    Perma, thanks for the link. I have never seen such beautiful trellises as shown there. They are so gorgeous and it is So hard to choose.

    Jin, you might be able to do something similar with rebar. You can get the lenghths cut to fit, but you would need to weld them. I plan to use rebar to make an arched span across the two middle posts on my someday arbor. Cori Ann used it to make an umbrella and also a free-form tree trellis. Of course, the rebar isn't as gorgeous, but who cares once your beautiful roses cover them!? : )

    We’re building ours (3) out of fence posts & rebar...not pretty right now, but most of my roses are evergreen, so they will cover it up. We’re cladding one in stained wood, just because it’s very prominent in the garden, and it’s just for appearances. You can get 10’ 2” pipe for $25 each—sink it 2’ and still have 8’ height. :-)

    At one time I planned to do this using simple individual arbors and connecting them with cattle fencing (hog wire), similar to what Perma 'n Posies suggested. In your climate the wire would be covered in no time.

    If you live near a farm supply or feed store, they sell cattle fencing in panels in various gauges.

    A landscape company could direct you to someone who does this kind of work. It would be beautiful to see something like this covered in roses! I hope you can do it and post lots and lots of photos to inspire us.

    Vap, you are right. I don't know why I was not thinking about rebar. I just curious about price tag and if it was too expensive than I have to DIY myself... something simple like those pics but in rows.
    I totally forgot about Cori Ann's adventure of making tree trellis and it was a piece of art.
    Bossy, you are right. roses cover everything and besides I know it will be steady and will not deteriorating all weather. After all, I am leaving in hot, humid, bugs zone that nothing lasts so I saw simple , beautiful art and metal ... Perfect :)
    Thank you guys :)

    Flowers, we must have cross paths. I am sorry. Just went I write this I have to go to an isolation page and after writing to Vap. I could not scroll up to see bossy name so I went to email and saw the new and try to resume more and guess what all vanished so I have to redo all over again.
    yes, that is great idea too. I will Google up this weekend and see which is easiest to do but simple and decide from there. It will take me a while Bec I am going to take my time since I am amending my soil in a side corner of my house about 70 ft by 20 ft.
    I am going to do all my homework, plan, and start making them.
    Perma , you were making a trellis or arbour. Is it done ? I would to see your work.

    Ahh, I hate Houzz..no edit button. I saw the name in my email. And thank you so much.
    I love to see pictures of everyone's trellis. How hard was it to make ? I bet it looks great and the best part you accomplish something that roses can grow. Yea!!

    No worries, Jin. When something goes wrong, I assume it's another one of Houzz's goof ups.

    My husband is a reinforcing structural engineer. He has access to rebar any time, but we only have one very large piece, flattened on one end and so heavy that I can't lift it. He uses it to dislodge and leverage big rocks out of holes for roses.

    Look on Wayfair or Google "metal pergolas".

    The cheapest way to do it is to line up 5 treated wood posts on each side, then use a thick rope link all the posts together on top. In a few years climbers/rambles would cover all the posts and ropes. Each post ( 4"x 4"x 10') costs $9.00 each, 50' rope (2") costs $150 from HD. You have to find a guy to dig 10 holes for you though.

    They look like something that Agriframes would do. I have used some of their garden structures in the past and been very pleased with them. They coat the metal work, so that it doesn't get too hot or too cold.

    Google lists an Agriframes USA, but my link is to the UK site as it seems to be easier to use.

    Jin, I have had this company bookmarked for a while. It looks like they use good quality iron and shipping is free which helps with the cost. The Patterson tunnel arch is similar to what you posted. https://www.arusticgarden.com/arandar.html

    So gorgeous! But maybe too formal for my cottage gardens. I have had to build most of my structures. This is the biggest one. I had cattle panels laid flat on the top at first, but I needed them for my lamb's pens


    so they were moved to use there. I have been trying for years to get a hardscape path put in. Hopefully this coming spring. I originally was going to connect cattle panel hoops together after a similar design I saw at the Minnesota Arboretum. I haven't figured how tight the panels will come together. I'm going to find out later this week as I have two I want to make for my new garden/patio I put in this year.

    I love everybody's idea and you guys are so creative. Kim, thank you suggesting your site. I did look into them before and decided to look further into more of a walkaway look . Going to look into it more over my weekends :)

    Daisy, your website site is what I been looking for Bec they kinda fall in my price range. The British always have the styles. The prices are very reasonable but not here in States. They were around$ 270 to $375 . I saw many that I love . I did tumble on same company on Amazon which was only a few selection unlike the website. Exactly what I was looking for and in my price range.

    Debrak, great web site. Prices are soooo expensive. Nice designs but I keep looking at the prices , Yikes!! .Sorry, I can't help myself and I rather pick a design and do it myself. Afterall, the structure will be taken over by roses :) .

    Ikaye, yours is so beautiful. I love it and wish you were here to help me. I will never guess it but looks like a pro did the structure. If you can do that then you can tackle anything. I know how you feel Bec I bought some materials( cedar ) in March and I can't bring myself to make a simple trellis. I totally forgot about it. Busy lifestyle :)

    I think I am going to make some myself. This is going to be fun . After seeing Ikaye's , I think I should.
    Perma, Flowers, Vap, you guys are great and so is Kim, Daisy, Debrak for showing me those websites. They are beautiful. I am going to start with simple design then progress to more complicated. Looks simple but I am sure it is going to be challenging.
    Thank you everyone :)

    Here’s what we’ve done so far, out of fence posts, pipe fittings & rebar. Next step is the wood cladding. I’m thinking this will come in around $225-230.


    (Please pardon the mess; this area is still very much under construction.) :-)

    Wow! I'm saving this post! Amazeballs! Who is that has the "tusk" arbor?

  • 8 years ago
    Perma, what mess ? I don't see any mess. It looks Great. Wow!!
    You guys inspire me a lot :).
    I am just going to read. I can't find a tab for thank you guys. It appears and disappears. Oh, well !
    Keep us posted...please.

    We have nothing lavish as your beautiful structure, but we did have a number of tuteurs made mimicking ones we saw in Les L'hay Rose. We took photographs to a wrought-iron place down near the Mexican border. When they came back they were double size and glorious. We're pretty sure they were outsourced and crafted in Tijuana.

  • 8 years ago
    Dara that us awesome. I bet it looked great . I look up Les L'Hay Rose and there it was in France. I hope i went to right source. The roses are soooo beautiful. So many climbers and wow. I don't blame you that something capture your heart.
    No matter what it was a smart and great plan to made it near Tijuana. I don't blame you Bec I guess we all would have done same thing.
    I saw more designs and I love it. Different and unique. I try to link the website but Houzz won't let me. I tried to do that this morning and lost all. I hope I can find it and screen shot and then paste it. I will try to but if no pics appears means I lost the picture...lol

    I think I remember reading a thread where Cori-Ann was building her own umbrella trellis? I bet she could give some good advice.
