Vita Mezza Garden Trellis

The trellis comes pre-finished with a water-based stain, but like all natural wood products, it will eventually weather. To maintain the original golden brown color and extend the life of the cedar, we recommend applying a fresh coat of exterior wood stain or sealer every one to two years.

Yes, the structure is designed for durability. However, because heavy crops like tomatoes or cucumbers can put significant weight on the frame, ensure you anchor the posts securely in the ground with cement as recommended in the installation instructions.

This model is specifically designed for in-ground installation, requiring a shovel and cement for stability. It is not intended for freestanding use on a hard surface like a patio or deck without significant modifications that are not included in the kit.

Assembly is straightforward but requires two people to manage the size of the panels. You will need basic tools like a power drill, hammer, and level, and you should set aside a few hours to complete the assembly and the necessary ground installation.

The trellis is 60.5 inches wide and 82 inches tall. Keep in mind that you will need to account for the depth of the post holes when planning your garden layout to ensure you have enough clearance for the concrete footings.
