Garden trellis is a practical and attractive way to add interest, privacy and support for climbing plants in your outdoor space. Whether you’re looking to screen off a seating area, add height to an existing fence or create a feature in your garden, choosing the right trellis panel makes all the difference.

At Hartwell & Co, we stock a wide range of timber garden trellis panels in different styles, sizes and designs. From traditional English diamond trellis to privacy lattice and heavy-duty panels, there’s an option for almost every garden project.

In this guide, we’ll explain the different types of wooden garden trellis, what they’re best suited to and how to choose the right style for your space.

Which type of garden trellis is best for your needs?

English diamond trellis – a versatile garden favourite

The English Diamond Trellis is our most popular and most versatile range. It is constructed from planned all round treated timber with rounded corners. Its diamond lattice gaps measure 40mm from the inside edges. The range includes a large variety of sizes and shapes. View the English Trellis range for all the options available>>

Privacy trellis – for extra screening

If you would like less visibility through your panels, privacy lattice is a small hole diamond trellis. This trellis is ideal to zone off areas within your garden or to shield areas from view for aesthetics, security or privacy. It has a strong rebated frame structure. Choose from rectangular panels or shaped panels with convex or omega tops.  View the the trellis range>>

Square trellis – ideal for climbing plants

Our square trellis range comes in a variety of square gap sizes and is made from treated timber with smooth planed edges with rounded corners. It can be fixed to walls for climbing plants, used as fencing or screening, or to create custom structures. Choose from a 6” square gap which is ideal for climbing plants, or the smaller 3” or 2” gaps ideal for added privacy.  View the trellis range>>

Heavy-duty trellis – when you need extra strength

For when you need extra strength, choose a heavy duty lattice panel. Its robust design and manufacture mean it can be especially useful in areas where the panels will be exposed to high winds, heavy planting or where extra strength is needed. Planed all round with rounded corners, it comes with strong 45mm x 45mm framing throughout the range. The lattice gaps are 70mm from inside edge.  View the tellis range>>

Profiles to look out for in the ranges above:

Omega: The Omega panels have a wavy top for a distinctive and eye-catching look. Available as a standalone panel or as a lattice top, which can used its own or above a fence panel to give a decorative shape and extra privacy.

Concave and convex trellis panels: These panels feature a curved top. These concave and convex trellis panels can be used on their own, or a small trellis top can be combined with existing fencing or walls to add additional screening or shape.

Rectangle: can be fixed to walls for climbing plants, used as fencing or screening, or to create custom structures.

Trellis corner inserts: For use in pergola construction.

Fan: Ideal for attaching to walls or fences for climbing plants to grow up.

Rustic trellis – unique and long lasting

Our rustic trellis is made from peeled and treated round and half round timbers making them very strong, lasting for many years. These panels come in a variety of sizes, the large ones stand alone and have posts (legs) as part of the frame. These legs are buried into the ground to the required depth. They can be made without legs if requested. A matching rustic arch is also available.  View the rustic trellis range>>

To consider: If you need to cut your trellis to size, some types of trellis are easier than others. The diamond lattice is more difficult and will need some wood working skills however we sell all the components to be able to do this. The square trellis is generally easier because it is not framed.
