Materials for the tapestry: the intrigue remains
I'll start with the secret which I will open towards the end of the story.
I think that I will build it out of the trellis? No! Metal better things to do. metal supports in the summer sun overheat and creepers they literally burn. And in the winter, if you leave the plant on a metal base, it is precisely vymerznet. But the thing in the photograph is useful to me for sure, and I tell you why later.
So from what is better to do trellis? Of course, natural wood. I just bought here are the pieces of wood in the construction shop.
Build a trellis: check the good eye
From the tool to work, I need a small hand saw with fine tooth, screwdriver and tape measure. Given that the slats are thin, could tighten the screws by hand, but what if there is a mechanical device?
You can not do this, but over time, the tree will turn black and will not look very presentable. As an option - can be painted trellis in any color you like. But too bright colors distract from the plants. So here it is up to you. Universally looks white, but this color is usually yellow in the sun.
And again, the direction of the lattice can be diagonal. Make a little more difficult, but not impossible.
The answer to the riddle: why you need a profile
Now we need to set our trellis, and for that just need the same profile with holes. Why not just stick it in the ground with the same wooden legs? Judge for yourself: thin strips and, besides, wooden. How much do they hold on to the damp ground? At best, one season. A clematis, which meant this design - a perennial plant. Well, I will not as I do every year, to build him a new prop? It is much safer - metal support.
Scheme dimensions and details
In conclusion, I offer my circuit with the calculation of the necessary materials, all of a sudden come in handy.
Tapestry my well worth it, she was not afraid of no wind, no rain. It is visible from the window of the house, so nothing prevents us from admiring clematis. I would be glad if you take advantage of my experience!
