Metal trellis

FassadenGrün's rigid trellises (distinguished from our wire rope trellis systems) are available in several materials; here, we'll introduce you to our metal assortment. For other, especially larger metal trellises, see the last paragraph here for tips, examples, and suppliers.

Stainless steel trellises

Our trellises are made of stainless steel and are thus corrosion free. The trellises are galvanically 'washed' and are therefore free of impurities or foreign bodies that can appear during the spot-welding process. One can find inexpensive stainless steel versions-- "raw" or unwashed-- which are not cleaned galvanically (for example, in garden furniture and reinforcing mats), but such grids are not sufficiently corrosion-resistant for the greening of facades.

Galvanised trellises

Galvanised grids can last for several decades outdoors, depending on the situation on site. Steel trellises with a plastic coating often corrode after only 5 years.

‘Rusty’ trellises

Some trellises are deliberately produced with rust to emphasize an "antique" style!

An Ode to the Rectangle

Metal trellises usually have the shape of a "standing rectangle," the upright position corresponding to the growth of the plants. The irregular and free-flowing lines of the plants contrast the severe lines of the trellis and the façade. The "green wall" that emerges from the combination of the two is very harmonious. From a design perspective, you can't go wrong with the rectangle trellis!

Fan shapes

For this reason, fan-shaped trellises should be used on windowless facades, if at all.

Examples of Metal Trellises for Facades

You will see here how diverse the shapes and forms of metal trellises for plants can be, and also where the limits of those shapes are.

Examples of free-standing trellises

Metal trellises are also used as free-standing structures in the garden, for example as privacy screens, pergolas, pavilions, etc. Wire beams for trellis systems are supplied by companies such as ‘Frank Bernhardt Zaunsysteme’ or ‘Legi GmbH’.

Protective Grids as Climbing Aids

Protective grids for climbing plants are often used in public areas. If they are large enough, such forged steel grids or rod constructions can directly be used as a trellis or support for green climbers. An additional wall trellis is then not necessary. Please note: FassadenGrün sells trellises, but no protective grids.
