8 ft. Stainless Steel Wire Rope Plant Trellis

This trellis looks so good! Minimalist, modern design with weatherproof materials that installs quickly and holds tight, I like the stainless wire rope look. The plastic pieces that snap on to the stainless rope allow me to position the stainless crossbars anywhere I need them, and I can move them if/when the plant doesn’t need as much support down low as it does up high. Nice stainless mounting screws are included, as are plastic anchor inserts if installing in concrete, block or brick. Just the screws are used for installing on wood, like for a patio support. This is a great way to add beauty to the patio supports at your home! This can be mounted two ways as I demonstrate in the video—straight or with a 90-degree angle. Use multiples to train a vining plant up and over a patio cover, adding beauty and clean air, and maybe a snack, to your outdoor spaces.

when ordering I thought this would be a more sturdy product for any type of plant that needed a trellis. It has to be attached to a wall or fence, unlike other tresllises I have that go directly into the ground. It does have a nice modern look and it attached properly the wires will be hidden as the vine grows. I would suggest this be used for lighter plants such as morning glory or moon flowers.

I got this stainless steel trellis to run up one of my plants. You can see from the pics that there are locks to tie in some stainless steel links to help the plant trellis up the wire, I have not installed the trellis yet, but plan on actually installing it on the over head softlet and then run it down to the ground and stake it to a post. I do not want to drill that many masonary holes in my brick. Picture 3 shows where I am installing at the top Picture one shows the locks.

Another innovative product from Vigoro Products. A stainless steel trellis for your vines to grow and bloom on. It comes in a 96 inch stainless steel wire rope which can be cut to desired length, 2 aluminum mounting posts, 2 tensioners, 6 each plastic clamps and stainless steel bars and installation hardware. It can be mounted on the side of the house, on a fence or post. Install next to a vine plant and watch it grow up the trellis and provide beautiful blooms.

We installed our Vigoro Stainless Steel Wire Rope Plant Trellis on our butterfly hut. What a sleek modern and unobtrusive way to support a vine. The best part is the trellis looks modern now and will be pretty much invisible as the vine grows. The cross bars are working great; even keeping our strong self-minded vine in place. It took us about 40 minutes to install the trellis. Most of that time was spent figuring out the length and working on tightening the cable (use the included wrenches). The trellis is 8' and we had to cut it down to 7'; you want strong wire cutters because this is a substantial cable. Make sure you read the instructions. The steps to make the cable taunt are very accurate. We have a nice tight cable. Pushing the metal bars through the cross anchors was not easy for delicate hands. I used a hard surface to assist. But attaching them to the cable and sliding them up and down and around is super easy. They will rotate around as well in case you need to turn them to adjust to the vines. We are looking forward to watching our vine traverse the trellis and expect to purchase more Vigoro Stainless Steel Wire Rope Plant Trellises for our yard.

A nice decorative and strong, functional wire trellis for any kind of vining plant. This comes with all the hardware needed to install, aluminum brackets and stainless wire means it won't have big rust streaks down the walls. This design goes well with very modern styles and will also work on older decor styles outdoors. Max height is 8 feet but you could trim the wire if needed with good cutters for fence lines and such. I plan on using this on my concrete garage wall to hold trumpet vines. No rotting and falling apart or being split apart by the vines like you get with wood trellises. Very strong wire and all metal cross brackets with plastic connectors, won't break easily. A group of these would look great on a fence row. I'd recommend it.

Sturdy, steamlined plant trellis. I liked the simple look of this trellis. I've been looking for a way to grow clematis without a full-blown lattice trellis, because the lattice would not look appropriate with the style of my house. My house has broad eaves, which presents some gardening challenges in terms of growing plants under the eaves - you can't plant right next to the house, as the soil never gets wet there. I solved that problem with this trellis by attaching the bottom connector to a piece of firewood, which I put about 4 feet out from the foundation so the trellis can be attached to the house at an angle and the clematis can get sun, moisture, and climb. I can also adjust the tension of the trellis by moving the block of wood in and out. I have other foundation plantings that can hide the firewood, but you could mount it on a nicer looking base stake if you had a more exposed scenario. I found the assembly of the trellis a bit more complicated than I expected. The horizontal bars had to be pounded in with a hammer - a hammer is listed as a required part, but the instructions don't say how to insert them - and the connectors had to be hammered on to the wire, also not mentioned in the instructions. Otherwise, installing the end pieces and tension adjustment pieces was simple and this was 30 minute job.

This review is for the Vigoro 8 ft. Stainless Steel Wire Rope Plant Trellis. I love vines and have quite an assortment of trellises and cages but had not tried using wire rope for this purpose. I like the look of wire rope and this trellis was not difficult to install with a bit of patience. While Vigoro makes a kit with a 3’ width, this one is a single wire rope with “T” rods along the rope. It will not accommodate a longer, fuller vine except as an add-on to an existing trellis. It might work better as a support for a taller plant, close to a fence to which you can attach the trellis. I can’t speak to the durability of the trellis, but I have used wire rope for other gardening purposes and it stands up well in my area, even with the salt air from the gulf. I do think it’s a bit pricey for a single wire trellis.
