Trellis Anchoring Hints
Although the L-Shape will allow your Trellis Screen to sit as a free standing unit, you may want to use
anchors in windy areas.
To anchor your new Trellis Screen you can use a 2 foot section of rebar hammered into the ground and
then wired to each post – or your local hardware store will have suitable post anchors that can be used in
a similar fashion. If attaching to a deck a simple L-Bracket can be used to secure to the deck floor.
