Trellis and garden privacy

Question

What type of trellis is best for making a garden more private?

Harry · Answer

Small holed trellis would be one of the best options for privacy.

Ivan · Answer

For instant privacy  bamboo is probably  your best and cheapest option. 
More decorative trellis is better for growing privacy giving plants such as honeysuckle. 
I hope this is helpful to you 
Many regards Ivan

Privacy type of trellis, has smaller holes, or Batten screening would be my choice.

Robert · Answer

I would recommend slatted or square/diamond trellis 👍

Lewis · Answer

You must use an appropriate trellis for the type of climber you are planning on planting/training. The larger the better if you're renting to achieve maximum privacy but usually the climber itself will provide much more than just the trellis.

Trellis of 1-2or 3 inch gaps smaller the gap the more private it would be can be effective if covered with green mesh too?”

Hi Lou,

Most trellis will do technically speaking, only depending on your environmental conditions like extreme wind and rain, extreme temperatures, and proximity to high sources of pollution and salty sea air. 

In most residential gardens, the main consideration is that in the spacing between the wooden battens that make up the trellis, there is a balance between: 

A) smaller trellis hole size for privacy

and

B) larger trellis hole size for wind pass through, to avoid shearing wind damage. 

Kind Regards,
