Invisible Trellis


Martha Stewart Living, March 2002


Vines appear to defy gravity -- and let your wall show through -- when they climb without supportive woodwork. Eye Hooks screwed into siding or walls and networks of medium-gauge wire hold delicate vines. (Heavier climbers, such as roses, will need heavy-gauge wire.) Design a grid by placing eye hooks 12 to 16 inches apart and running wire through them. Or you can follow one of our designs, placing eye hooks at intersections. Support wires across a large expanse with hooks every 2 feet. To install eye hooks in a brick or another masonry surface, use a masonry drill.
