Climbing plants need something to climb on and the usual answer is an arbor or trellis. But if you don’t want to buy one here are ten ideas of ways to use recycled items or existing supports such as trees or lamposts. In my opinion some are more successful than others, but you may disagree. These ten ideas are described in an article which I found on the Top Dreamer website.

A trellis is an excellent way to add decorative flair to your landscape and to support the flowers and plants while adding structure. Besides this, the ideas that you will see will help you out with protecting your plants from pests. If you don?t have any skills and experience in this, don?t despair ? all of the trellises below are made from almost anything from timbers to repurposed materials. So, let?s take a look at the ideas below and draw some inspiration. You may find these ideas fascinating and you may want to incorporate climbing flowers and plants in your yard, who knows. Enjoy and have fun!
