Classic Wooden Trellis Design -- Details!

Bemessung der waagerechten Holme

Text

Wood Profiles of vertical laths

The vertical laths mostly have a square cross section of 25 - 27 mm and therefore appeal delicate. A thickness of 30 mm is quite strong, but now and then necessary in the case of heavy fruit espaliers.

Abstände der waagerechten Riegel

Abhängig vom Lattenquerschnitt sind aller 1,5 - 2 m Querriegel erforderlich, um das Spalier ausreichend zu fixieren.

Distances between the vertical laths

The distance between laths is approx. 15 - max. 35 (40) cm, depending on aesthetics, wood cross section and type of climbing plant. 22 - 25 cm is standard.

Lath protrusion

Even the cross bars slightly protrude, about 5 cm.

Designing the lath heads

Usually lath heads are bevelled (receive a 45 degree mitre cut). However, other forms and designs are also possible.

Lengthening laths and cross bars

Vertical laths on large trellises are easily lengthened, cross bars less. Sometimes gaps are necessary, also to create sensible dividing lines.

Attaching the climbing plants to the trellis

How are the plants attached to the system? Either with their own tendrils (Continuous Bloomers and Clematis), or additionally with binding materials as shown here.

Zusätzliche Quer-Drähte

Zusätzliche waagerechte Drähte erleichtern gerade bei Wein das Einranken der grünen Triebe "von Etage zu Etage" - die Bindearbeiten werden minimiert!
