Some Additional Tips and Advice When Hiding Drain Pipes in Yard We have designed all our metal trellis to be a great long lasting alternative to more traditional wooden trellis. A coat of green remains a source of fascination today, whether on country homes or – increasingly – on town houses too.

Our maintenance free metal wall trellis panels will soften and decorate garden walls and are available in a series of finishes to complement your outside space. Garden screening ideas can be realised using the spiked feet to fasten this garden trellis into the ground.

Below is my Brunnera macrophylla ‘Jack Frost’ which I absolutely love – the large leaves are incredible – but… it has blue flowers. I suppose if you constructed a mesh cage to keep your climber away from the pipe, you'd get away with it - maybe. In cases where the facade has direct contact with perennial plants, regular maintenance is needed to prevent structural damage. We regularly exhibit at the Chelsea Flower Show, taking great pride in bringing inspiration to the thousands of visitors. This garden trellis has a arched lattice design, can be used against a wall or as a free standing trellis, ideal for use with sweet peas.

Some of us are thankful for the extra layer of environmentally friendly insulation and take great delight in the visual impact it adds to a building. With annual plants and also with hops, downpipes can sometimes be greened directly, as the graceful climbing plants wind themselves around the pipe and find support at the clamps (or can be tied there).

Bought four for large pot with climbing roses and clematis, trying to obscure drainpipe and has done the job very well. We have a lot of external pipes on the corner of the house, so I today installed a drain pipe trellis (see below) and I’ve prepped a large planter for a white spring flowering trailing rose arriving in October. The mounting of a light-weight trellis directly on the downpipe is possible, but is a special case, as structural damage is still possible here when the greening is full or vigorous. Climbing plants with a lot of leaf mass, however, can lead to the loosening of the generally light downpipe fittings when there are strong winds. This eye catching design trellis is made from sturdy steel, supplied unpainted so will rust naturally in the garden.
