Winter maintenance
Our trellises have a sturdy 34 x 45 frame. The bottom edge of the framing has drainage holes to prevent water sitting in the groove and reducing the life expectancy of your panels. It is important that the panels are brushed down and the drainage holes cleared of any fallen leaves or debris. Performing this simple task each year will extend the life of your panels ensuring they last for many years.
Painted panels
Our paint system is extremely durable and with proper care and maintenance, will give you many years of pleasure. Whether you are looking for classic trellis, contemporary slatted or solid avenue, our panels are available painted in a range of beautiful carefully selected colours from our own palette, or if you wish to match an existing scheme, we have a colour matching service. If you require any information regarding our paints or the recommended maintenance, all our paint information can be found on our website.
Planters
Planters are an ideal way of getting colour into you garden. Planting winter shrubs into one of our painted planters adds a attractive visual focal point in a dreary corner of any garden.
