Frequently asked questions F.A.Q's
Q. Why should I use a concrete post instead of wooden?
A. It will not rot it would stand up to the strain of the weather better and you dont need to treat it with a preservative.
Q. What ratio should I use for fence to trellis when putting trellis on top of a fence panel?
A. For every 2' (610mm) of fence to 1' (305mm) Trellis is what we recommend e.g. 4' Fence Panel with a 2' Trellis on top.
