This is an instructable of repurpose used iron fences as garden trellis.


The reason I did this was a few iron fences laying around after putting up new fences. I set it up beside the car porch.

  1. 4 used iron fences
  2. Nylon string (you can buy from a hardware store, however, I reuse left over from last project)
  3. Bricks (laying around after the work on the new fences)
  4. Used lumber (2" x 4" x 5')

  1. Firstly, I lay out the bricks as a foundation for the fences. (The fences is made from iron. If I put it directly on the ground, it will rust)
  2. I position the three fences side by side (not exactly 90 degree angle but 45 degree).
  3. Then, I tie the fences with the nylon string.
  4. The forth fence I lift it up and position it on the top of the three fences.
  5. I secure the upper fence with the first and the second fence.
  6. The number 1, 2, and 3 fences will support and display climbing plants.
  7. The forth fence will be used to hang planters.

The Lumber
