Introduction: The measurements for the Trellis in this plan are:

44" Wide Opening x 84" High Opening x 26" Deep

Of course, you can adjust these measurements to suit your requirements.

Materials for the Trellis; Use Cedar, treated wood, or any other wood suitable for outdoors and galvanized

screws/bolts/nails for all requirements:

2 x 6 x 8 ft: 2 for upper, front/back Top Rails

2 x 4 x 8 ft: 5 for side Lattice Frames

2 x 2 x 4 ft: 11 for top Cross Rails and angled Support Brackets

Plastic lattice (available in various colors), 4 ft x 8 ft: 1

1 x 3 x 10 ft: 1 for support/transport Support Rails

Galvanized nails, 3": 60 (Optional: use deck screws and/or carriage bolts.)

4' long metal support posts: Four for Post Anchors

Step One, Build left/right Lattice Frames

Select four of the 2 x 4 x 8' stock and cut them to a length of 84"; these will become the four support posts (used

as the side posts for the frames of the plastic lattice).

Select one other piece of 2 x 4 x 8' stock for the top and bottom rails of the lattice frames. Cut this into four pieces:

each piece is 23" long.

Check the thickness of the plastic lattice; set up your dado blade to accept this width; should be 3/16". Set the depth

for 9/16". Make your dado cut in the center on one side of each of all of the selected 2 x 4 pieces in this step (four

@ 84"; four @ 23"); top to bottom, lengthwise as shown above.

You now have four Posts and four Rails with dado cuts required to build the left and right Lattice Frames.

Select the 4 x 8 Plastic Lattice; crosscut it to 72 1/2".

Rip the 72 1/2" piece down the middle forming two approx 24" wide pieces; one half for each side panel.

Assemble the Trellis side panels:

Select the four, 84 "Side Posts with the dado cuts facing you, measure five inches from the bottom end and using a

speed square, mark a pencil line across the posts, five inches from the bottom; across the dado cuts.

Select two, 84" Side Posts ; lay them on edge with the dado facing each other. Select two, 23" rails for the top

and bottom rails; lay them on edge with the dado cut facing each other; using the guide marks on the bottom of the

Side Posts as shown above, place one rail on the bottom and mark the piece as the bottom.

Select four, 3" nails; drive two nails on each side; drive them through the posts into the Bottom Rail (ensure that you

do not nail into the dado groove).

Insert one of the lattice panels into the dado cut of the two sides and bottom rail of the frame.

Place the Top Rail in place (ensure the measurement from the top edge of the post on each side are equal, 4 1/2")

and secure with nails; two on each side.

One Side Panel is now complete; repeat this same process for the other side panel.

Step Two, Layout the markings for the Crossbars on the top edge of the 2 x 6 x 8' Front and Back Top Rails

Select the two, 2 x 6 x 8' pieces that will become the Front/Back Top Rails.

Lay them on edge across your saw horses and clamp them together as shown above with the all edges flush. The

edges you will mark will become the top edges.

Measure in six inches from each end and, using a speed square, make a mark across both pieces; measure 1 1/2" and

make another mark; between these two marks is where the crossbars will be placed. Repeat this process at the other

end.

Locate and mark the center of the two Top Rails; measure and mark 3/4" on each side of this mark; this will become

the placement for the center Crossbar. With the center and two ends marked; layout the remaining six marks by

measuring equal distances, on-center; the measurement for all crossbars is 10 1/2" on center.

shown.

Step Four, Attach the Side Panels to the Top Rails.

Lay one Top Rail on the ground as shown above. Locate the center of the 2 x 6 x 8' Top Rail; measure 22" to each

side of the center and make a mark; add 3 1/2" and make another mark; this space will mark the guidelines for the

placement of the Side Panel. Repeat this process for the other Top Rail (mark both Top Rails at this time).

Within the guidelines, place the top edge of one Side Panel perpendicular to the top edge of the Top Rail and secure

with four nails. Without moving the structure, repeat this process for the other Side Panel; the two Top Rails are

now attached to the two Side Panels.
