Questions and Answers for Dura-Trel 96 in. x 57 in. White Vinyl PVC Winchester Trellis

A:  The trellis supports are about 2" square PVC. You can mount on posts or attach to a wall. Either way, you have great flexibility in how tight to the wall or what kind of alternative support you would like to use. We supported it on redwood posts and also attached to our fence with spacers so as to provide a one inch gap between trellis and wall.

A:  The trellis extends only 3 inches from the wall.

A:  Easy to assemble (1 person) and it looks fantastic. Bought it for a climbing rose. It’s perfect.

A:  I have no idea how to do that and make it stable. It would seem too top heavy. However, the two supports are hollow PVC, so I would bolt a plumbing floor flange to each caddy and with pipe inserted up into each trellis base.

A:  Nice trellis. Don't overtighten the assembly screws. Put caulk on the threads of the mounting screws to prevent rot or leaks. Put side with screws toward house. Easy assembly. You'll need some vinyl glue from the hardware store for the caps.

A:  broken

A:  I’m not sure that would work. You have to drill it into place, and I could see that causing some issues over a vinyl fence. We attached ours to stucco.

A:  Yes, using screws.

A:  I put a 4x4 in the ground on either side of the trellis and secured the trellis to them. My passion vine is happily growing on the trellis.

A:  We bought this a couple of years ago. You can sink it a couple of inches into the ground but that doesn't really secured it. You have to secure it to the wall at four points. We had to anchor into brick and used Tap-con bolts, It worked out great.

A:  I own two trellises. I believe that if you use long steel poles, and if you could drive them into the ground deep enough, you could put the uprights over the poles, but I don't believe they would stand up to wind well. If you angled two of them together like an A-line tent with the rebar-type rods driven into the ground at an angle, tying the trellises together at the top, overlapped, may work, but again, I doubt it. If you can't drop the long trellis over the stakes (problematic because if you don't screw the pieces together properly, it's going to fall apart), could always tie the trellis to stakes driven into the ground, but it will detract from the looks. Also, if the posts you tie it to are not long enough, the trellis will tend to fall over. Hope this helps. :-/

A:  I would not use as a stand alone unless you attached some kind of extension on the legs.

A:  I am not sure. However, it appears to be made of a very nice material. I would suggest calling the company, to get correct information. They would also be able to tell you the type of paint to use (If it is possible.) Good luck.

A:  Yes,use exterior grade latex paint. Mike

A:  Yes, ours is actually mounted onto 2x4s and can be to brick

A:  Yes if you have the right tools. We mounted our to a wooden fence. The trellis comes with plastic "sleeves" that create a space between the trellis and the structure you are mounting to, so you would just need to predrill a screw hole in the block to receive the screw.

A:  If you can drill holes into the block wall to attach the mounting brackets. Or sink large 4x4 posts behind the 2 sides then attach the trellis to them.

A:  Yes, this can be mounted to a block wall.

A:  Yes with the right tools.

A:  We have had ours for about 4 years, still looks new! We love it!

A:  I am assuming so

A:  Mine is secured to the wall by using spacers and very long screws that went into my stucco wall. It came with really long spikes for in-ground installation but I did not use them.

A:  When the vine growing on the trellis grows out, it totally will block the wall. The vine will cover the trellis in one year.

A:  Anchors into the ground with stakes

A:  THe kit contains a plastic round :sleeve that hold the trellis out about 3 inches from whatever you are mounting it to,

A:  Long screws go through frame and into spacers that keep it off of bricks. Screws are made to use on wood. I used masonry screws and attached directly to bricks without spacers.

A:  9 X 9 approximately

A:  OD are 8" x 8" ID are 6" x 6.5"

A:  The 'inside' measure is 6 inches wide by 6 1/2 inches high. It is very well made.

A:  About 6 inches by 6 inches.
