Easily the BEST "how to DIY" woodworking YT channel! I just got some plans the other day and have started the 3 picket fence flower planter. Completed the fan trellis about 10 mins ago... It came out great. The jig, what a game changer in making it!
Brilliant, thanks for making the videos. I made the obelisk for one of my daughters and shes over the mooon with it. Im not going to work today, so as soon as my neighbours are up and moving around ill be in my garage ripping wood. Here in England, you dont see too many obelisk so it really stands out.
Thanks for your videos. I built my first garden trellis this week. I used homedepot 8' 1x2's. I only had to cut 12 inches off of them. They were $2.20 each. I used 11 to build 2 trellis. So about $12 dollars each for wood. I made a jig and they took about 15 minutes each to make. I also took 2 boards 1' and 45 them. I put them under the top board centered to make a little roof / house look. If you dont have a table saw to RIP down wood this is a easy way to make them. The 1x2's measure out to 5/8th x 1 1/2". Watch for cracked boards when picking them.
Terrific Trellis! Thank you. To help with the bending and avoid breaking, sit the bolted uprights in a container of water for a couple of hours before bending them. I found this worked a treat.
Thank you for going back and correcting the fan width from 38" -> 30". When I made this about a year ago, I broke about 6 slats from my 2x4's before getting 38". I will say that I cheated abit and opened up the bottom more to allow for more bend. I only ever made 1; materials cost was $25 when you add the wood, screws, bolts, etc. I tried to sell it for $50, then kept dropping the price $5 about every 2 weeks. I stopped dropping once it was at $25 since that would be "at cost." I've had clicks looking at it and some saves but I've only ever gotten 2-4 offers of $15. It still sits in my garage to this day as a reminder to keep trying and moving forward. :)
I made twenty of these last month after watching your jig video. Took them to 1st Farmer's Market of season yesterday. Sold all of them out of my truck in parking lot in about an hour, before it opened. Didn't even rent a booth space! (I opted not to take orders, my ex may be right about commitment issues 🤔)
Hey Matthew, nice video update. I had no problem at all making these from the previous video but what i did was make the middle board going across all the way to catch all the boards, just my preference.
It was a great project. I bought the plans and I made one for the wife for Mothers Day. She really liked it. Before I assembled I used Australian Deck Oil to treat the parts and let them dry over night. Looks nice and will last outdoors a longer time. Also, I cheated, big time and attached the bending jig to a wall in the garage. Made drilling and screwing very easy.
Hey Mr. Peech! Just wanted to give you a big thank you and send my gratitude! I used your video and the jig layout you have to crank some of these bad boys out and they’ve been selling well in my community, the extra money has helped me and my family out a lot with the rising gas prices, thank you sir!
Hey Matt, love your videos and have purchased many of your plans. I made this trellis for Christmas gifts for members of my family. I made a change that I think you’ll like, for the center horizontal slat I made it 22” so it goes all the way across.

How can I share how much I appreciate all your positivity and encouragement? well I can tell you right now and share your site... Will post brags! All the best, my friend to you and yours! Sincerely, Michelle from the mountains of eastern Oregon.Big Smile!
I made a few of these over the last few days. Today marks the day I got some in a store locally. Thank you for your awesomeness this is the start of something for my family.
I made one with a charred effect using a propane torch then finished with an exterior clear spray finish. Looks great and really brings out the grain of the wood.
I think I'll try these. For the jig though, I think using removable pegs/dowels instead of screws for those outside ones and set dowels for the inner ones might be an idea

From the center of the furring strip, measure 15" in both directions and make a mark. Repeat with 7 1/2", so you have 5 marks including your center. 5. Use a 1/2" forstner bit to drill 1/2" deep holes at 1" from the top, just on the *inside* of each mark (The *edge* of the hole is at each mark). 5a. (Optional) drill holes on either side of the center mark 5/8" apart (5/16" from center mark to each hole's edge) 6. Glue 1"-long 1/2" dowels into each hole (Protrudes 1/2"). 7. Attach furring strip squarely on center in the rabbet with screws only for easy disassembly and storage in off-season (Check for square) Final dimensions: outer dowels 30" apart at 60" from the base, inner 15" apart. Using dowels instead of screws took a bit longer, but had some benefits: a) It doesn't mar the wood. b) At 1/2", they are tall enough to hold the wood, but short enough that they're easy to lift over (You don't have to screw something in while holding it) c) You can set the trellis lower on the jig while bending so there's less tension on the arms, then slide it "up" into place.
I have no idea why, but I’m having a super hard time with the placement of the screws on the jig to get the fan to look correct.

It's something to do with the way each board is going to bend, so It's not that you're doing it incorrectly, it's that not all wood grain is identical.

Matthew, I love your channel and after watching several videos I found the garden trellis and thought I would give it a try. I made a few adjustments to make mine work, but I am well pleased for my first one. I am off to market it tomorrow at my nursery. I will attempt to upload the picture
Hi Gary can you please give me the measurements for the main jig board and how far from the outside edge… the outside screws are and so on? Thanks. I’d love to make one but need measurements. 🤝
You're the MVP. Love your channel my man big love to you and your family. I made the jig yesterday and I'm going In to work today to use the table saw and cut my timber. Will let you know how it goes
Mr Peech... I followed the guide and made these from picket wood using the 1 3/4 slats used for building the 3 picket planter boxes...takes two pickets. I'm pumping these out, takes about 10 minutes with pre cut materials. Looking forward to getting these out in my area!0
@ Matthew Peech Just a tip on the jig, at the butt end i added two 5/8x11/2x 6 inch strips going up to hold the trellis instead of screws. I screwed them to the side of the jig. It keeps it real tight. And i also clamp it down at the butt end so it won't move. And for the fan i use dowels instead of screws.
Thank you Matthew! I just made and sold my first 2 trellis'. I bought a treated 2x6 and I had one already. What I found is the wet wood was so much easier to stretch. I hope I don't find problems with that when it starts drying out.
I made some for my climbing rose bushes years ago. I used all thread, and to get a wider fan, i added 8" pcs as spacers between the uprights at the bottom. They eventually rotted out at ground level. If i do it again id cement them into a small bucket and bury them.
I made these, made some jigs too. It took me an hour and ten minutes to make four of them. I’ve posted to FB market place. These are the first wooden things I’ve made with the intent to sell. Started the listing at $100. Not sure how long to leave at that price without them selling before I lower it. Thanks for sharing! PS I didn’t really pay attention to the measurements and ended up leaving mine 96” long. It’s all spaced correctly for the 96” length, just thought I’d throw that in there.
@@andrewdominowski4631 no, not at $100, or $80. I’m going to lower to $60 Monday and see how that goes. All I have is a menards and ace and ace doesn’t sell wood trellises and menards sells some super janky mass produced one anywhere from $20 to $40 bucks.
@@cathyhardy8206 That’s what I’m waiting on as well Cathy. We have to have the Jig to make them. Or if you found out could you please let me know? Thanks
This is what I did. Works well, no damage to the project material and no tools required when you go to bend the 2nd board. I used 3/8" oak dowel because that's what I had laying around. Probably over kill
My oldest son questioned me on this video … “Pop? Why does he use screws? Nails or staples would be quicker AND easier” … I’m passing this question/statement on to you Personally, I prefer screws. I feel that they make for a longer and durable construction.
Great redo. Thinking the same technique could apply to some more exotic shapes, curves (but not too wild). Thinking of a gate with stave-built members. Thanks for the ideas.
Though he gives the incorrect measurements in the voice over in the original video (ruclips.net/video/B6mz6CFa3ZI/видео.html), just pay attention to the video and you can read the tape measure. The height of the crux appears to be 8" if you do the math from this new video (72" - 29" - 16" - 16" - 1 1/2" - 1 1/2" = 8"). I think there is enough between the two videos to complete the cross jig. This is a great tutorial and I plan to make this and all the jigs soon. THANKS MATTHEW!!!!!
@@jessesleeper3167 Thabks for the reply! My brain doesn’t do well with math and engineering, even at the simplest level, so your advice really helps! Appreciate you and Matt!
Anyone doing this; to prevent breaking the outside ones, wet them down. Water swells the lumber and makes it more pliable. Hot water is best. Hope this helps someone.
Dude, I had a piece of 2x4 that I cut like you said in the video. Followed all your steps. My 2x4 was 65" long though, and when I spread the boards apart the one board on the outside, snapped off. I'm thinking that I may have bolted it together to tightly. Nonetheless my wife liked it. I may be able to save it, by clamping it and then bolting it back together again a little higher.
This happens. But bolt lower... higher makes it tighter. spread slowely and if you hear any type of sound of wood giving stop and unbolt. Put that wing in the middle. It has a stress fracture or a knot that cant be seen.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking Well Sir, I done good. I clamped the trellis above the break in the wood at the bottom. Drilled a new hole for the bolt and bolted it up. While it was clamped I toe (nail) screwed two deck screws in the bottom below the break in that one piece of wood. I then took the clamps off and managed to salvage the fan trellis. I was so happy that I went ahead and built a 6' high x 14" wide rectangular trellis with the cross members spaced 9" on center. I didn't do a video for my channel because it was my first one. The next one I built I'll film it. Thanx so much for your guidance.
Thanks for sharing the video it's a great idea if these sell in your area well, I tried advertising some here I'm Melbourne and they proved as popular as covid, although it is winter time
I greatly appreciate your videos. I build 5 of these today and they turned out good. I had some not so good yellow pine. Only issue I had was using the jig with the screws like did my bottom boards would split. I had to pre drill them also with a small bit to get them to work. All good otherwise. Thanks again.
Smart to post an edited version without all the business side of things. Your content is awesome brother. We have a local market style sale event coming up in April. I’m planning on making three of the things you make and seeing how they sell. I’ll update you after 👍
Yea I figured some folks just want to have some for themselves. Markets are awesome. Build Small’s to go with large items. I’m going to do a video on it. Something $20 or less. Everyone has atleast $20 at these sales. Small’s add up fast!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking awesome tip brother and I’ll look forward to that video. If you see this in time what’s your top tip for a small $20 item? Bird house/feeder? Figuring a few Corn Hole boards might be something people might want heading into summer also. Might be wrong in that.
Great channel Matthew. Love your projects and your instructions. Could you please tell me the screw spacing on the top brace of the trellis and also the screw spacing on the jig for the top of the fan of the trellis. Thank you so much
Great tutorial, I'm in the shop now getting ready to batch out a few of these. Just wanted to mention that you said that the long cross piece is 34" long, but I noticed when you have it laying on your bench mat it appears to be 32" long.
No rod... I posted one about a year ago that was recorded on a cell phone. The one last weekend was more of the business side. This was just the build.
Two questions, do you need to use galvanized or stainless steel 3/8 x 4inch bolts? The less costly zinc ones will rust won't they? Second, do you predrill the slats so you won't split them when screwing in the 1 1/4 deck screws??
my father passed away this past july, and i inherited all of his wood working tools. I am learning slowoly but am lookign for the plans on how to make the fan trellace jig. is that available? thank you.
Awesome, Plan on making a few of these for my mom and sister for their gardens as my first project... Question... you mentioned deck screws because they don't rust. Should the bolts on the bottom be a particular type to avoid rust also?
If the Trellis is in the ground, what's the best way to not let it rot? It could be Treated wood, but in a Garden, some people will frown on that. Cedar is a good choice, but what other ways or wood would be the best wayto keep these babies holding up the Veggies? Thanks a lto Matthew and all the great views and commentors - Ken in Hawaii
Hey Matthew, just want to say thank you for helping me think out side the box. It really helps that you find a way to get the most out of the cheapest materials. I have been into wood working for 20 plus years and has most of the fancy tools that a wood shop would need until everything has stolen. With that said I am slowly replacing these tools. I would ask if you could touch on two things in the future . First could you talk about staining and how to make the barn wood ( white ) look distressed. The other would be anything to do with hand engraving ( no laser or CNC ) . I also engrave metals and real animal skulls. If you have any tips on applying this to the wood working projects you do. Thanks Larry Bone Taps
I’m brand new at woodworking, so I apologize if this seems dumb. To be clear, one 2x4 will yield six 5/8” strips…five for the fan, and one for the cross members. Correct?
@Matthew Peech Thank you for all you do.. Ive bought several plans and started on some projects. Great videos as well. Ive got a question maybe silly one. The plans say 72" tall. At the end of the vid Matt says they are 7 feet tall. Thats 84".. Is it 72 or 84? lol. Mine seemed a little short once i cut the strips to 72" as compared to video of him holding the trellis next to him. I thought hes either really short or I cut them to short.. Sorry Matt! Also will the cross members work if its 84 as well as for the 72 or would i need to lengthen them for the taller one? Thanks!
I apologize Matt, I'm new to the game here, but I can't seem to find any info on how to build the trellis jig. Is there a video or plan for it? Anxious to get started. Thank you.
Hey! For the top The outer screws for the top are 30” apart. Then space the other two centered between outer and middle. The other two you make when you make your first one just in case your jig is a bit off from mine or your material is different.
Old video, and things have changed, so heed warning, I built 10 trellises, and have yet to be able to sell any both on marketplace and to most of the local garden/nurseries and outdoor places. Was asking 60 and have had to lower it to 45 to try and sell them. I've been sitting on them for a month and a half now.
I have plans but it only covers the top. The outer screws for the top are 30” apart. Then space the other two centered between outer and middle. The other two you make when you make your first one just in case your jig is a bit off from mine or your material is different.
I was able to do 38" for the farthest outside 2 for the fan. I know the original video said 40 or so and some people had problems going that far. BTW I am all for trying to be as perfect as possible but the lengths of these do not have to be 100% perfect once fanned out you cant even tell if its slightly off. Made my first 2 and they look alright. I don't have a miter/chop saw yet that is next so they turned out alright. Now to sell them...After I add some kind of spike...
Can anyone tell me if the jig he is using is a 2 by 4 and if so is the cross piece recessed into the 2 by 4 or is it just nailed into the top it's hard to see from the video..thx
Maybe I missed it, but I can't find anything on painting the trellis. Especially when it comes to the treated fence slats, which are mostly rough sawn and not that easy to pain.
Hi Mathew, I didn’t see a link for the mat/grid on your workbench. Where can I get that?? Thx for the video. Can’t wait to get started on the trellis!!

It took me a little while this afternoon but I finally got the jig set up the rest was a piece of cake thank you very much
Hi Gary can you please give me the measurements for the main jig board and how far from the outside edge… the outside screws are and so on? Thanks. I’d love to make one but need measurements. 🤝
Hi Gary, I would also be interested in having the measurements for the jig.
@@ralphesquer7778 I’m at work right now I don’t remember measurements of the top of my head but I’ll try to get them for you
My wife wanted short ones so I used some scrap cedar and made 2 small ones, I modified the spacing of jig screws and they tuned out beautiful!! Thx
You're the MVP. Love your channel my man big love to you and your family. I made the jig yesterday and I'm going In to work today to use the table saw and cut my timber. Will let you know how it goes
Thanks Lee! You have the hard part done!
Hi Lee, can you tell me the measurements for main fan and what size board and how far each screw is for the fan? Thanks
Mr Peech...
I followed the guide and made these from picket wood using the 1 3/4 slats used for building the 3 picket planter boxes...takes two pickets.
I'm pumping these out, takes about 10 minutes with pre cut materials.
Looking forward to getting these out in my area!0
@ Matthew Peech Just a tip on the jig, at the butt end i added two 5/8x11/2x 6 inch strips going up to hold the trellis instead of screws. I screwed them to the side of the jig. It keeps it real tight. And i also clamp it down at the butt end so it won't move. And for the fan i use dowels instead of screws.
Thank you Matthew! I just made and sold my first 2 trellis'. I bought a treated 2x6 and I had one already. What I found is the wet wood was so much easier to stretch. I hope I don't find problems with that when it starts drying out.
Most treated wood is southern yellow pine. It moves a lot, and knots can weaken things.
Just built two trellis this week. thanks, Looks great
I made some for my climbing rose bushes years ago. I used all thread, and to get a wider fan, i added 8" pcs as spacers between the uprights at the bottom. They eventually rotted out at ground level. If i do it again id cement them into a small bucket and bury them.
I made these, made some jigs too. It took me an hour and ten minutes to make four of them. I’ve posted to FB market place. These are the first wooden things I’ve made with the intent to sell. Started the listing at $100. Not sure how long to leave at that price without them selling before I lower it. Thanks for sharing!
PS I didn’t really pay attention to the measurements and ended up leaving mine 96” long. It’s all spaced correctly for the 96” length, just thought I’d throw that in there.
How u make jigs
Have you sold any for 100? In my area there’s couple listings for this. One for 80 and another for 50. I’m thinking 60
@@andrewdominowski4631 no, not at $100, or $80. I’m going to lower to $60 Monday and see how that goes. All I have is a menards and ace and ace doesn’t sell wood trellises and menards sells some super janky mass produced one anywhere from $20 to $40 bucks.
@@brainwashingdetergent4322 any update on any sales?
@@cathyhardy8206 That’s what I’m waiting on as well Cathy. We have to have the Jig to make them. Or if you found out could you please let me know? Thanks
On your gig for the fan, have you considered using a hole and a dowel pin for the second spread and not a screw?
This is what I did. Works well, no damage to the project material and no tools required when you go to bend the 2nd board. I used 3/8" oak dowel because that's what I had laying around. Probably over kill
My oldest son questioned me on this video … “Pop? Why does he use screws? Nails or staples would be quicker AND easier” … I’m passing this question/statement on to you
Personally, I prefer screws. I feel that they make for a longer and durable construction.
Great redo. Thinking the same technique could apply to some more exotic shapes, curves (but not too wild). Thinking of a gate with stave-built members. Thanks for the ideas.
You are a great teacher! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Matt! You don’t happen to have plans for the main jig for the fan do you?
That’s what I’m waiting for. You need the Jig to build it.
Though he gives the incorrect measurements in the voice over in the original video (ruclips.net/video/B6mz6CFa3ZI/видео.html), just pay attention to the video and you can read the tape measure. The height of the crux appears to be 8" if you do the math from this new video (72" - 29" - 16" - 16" - 1 1/2" - 1 1/2" = 8"). I think there is enough between the two videos to complete the cross jig. This is a great tutorial and I plan to make this and all the jigs soon. THANKS MATTHEW!!!!!
@@jessesleeper3167 Thabks for the reply! My brain doesn’t do well with math and engineering, even at the simplest level, so your advice really helps! Appreciate you and Matt!
My man never disappoints💪🏻
Anyone doing this; to prevent breaking the outside ones, wet them down. Water swells the lumber and makes it more pliable. Hot water is best. Hope this helps someone.
Thank you Matt! Made 5 of these today along with the jig. Going to sell them at the farmers market tomorrow.
How much did you sell them for?
What are the measurements for the jig?
I’m having the hardest time with the jig
Lol, the last video you made on this was awesome. I probably made a dozen of them. It was a good project, sir! Ty👍🏻
Did a great job thank you now how do you build the trellis jig I would love to learn this
Lol I’m waiting as well.
Dude, I had a piece of 2x4 that I cut like you said in the video. Followed all your steps. My 2x4 was 65" long though, and when I spread the boards apart the one board on the outside, snapped off. I'm thinking that I may have bolted it together to tightly.
Nonetheless my wife liked it. I may be able to save it, by clamping it and then bolting it back together again a little higher.
This happens. But bolt lower... higher makes it tighter. spread slowely and if you hear any type of sound of wood giving stop and unbolt. Put that wing in the middle. It has a stress fracture or a knot that cant be seen.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking Well Sir, I done good. I clamped the trellis above the break in the wood at the bottom. Drilled a new hole for the bolt and bolted it up.
While it was clamped I toe (nail) screwed two deck screws in the bottom below the break in that one piece of wood. I then took the clamps off and managed to salvage the fan trellis. I was so happy that I went ahead and built a 6' high x 14" wide rectangular trellis with the cross members spaced 9" on center. I didn't do a video for my channel because it was my first one. The next one I built I'll film it. Thanx so much for your guidance.
Fantastic upload friend keep it up 😊💗
Thanks for sharing the video it's a great idea if these sell in your area well, I tried advertising some here I'm Melbourne and they proved as popular as covid, although it is winter time
I want to try this for my dahlias thank you for your wonderful videos.
My pleasure 😊
Just finished making my second one!!! Thank you so much.
Thats awesome! No worries!
Great video ! Thank you Matthew!
I greatly appreciate your videos. I build 5 of these today and they turned out good. I had some not so good yellow pine. Only issue I had was using the jig with the screws like did my bottom boards would split. I had to pre drill them also with a small bit to get them to work. All good otherwise. Thanks again.
Smart to post an edited version without all the business side of things. Your content is awesome brother. We have a local market style sale event coming up in April. I’m planning on making three of the things you make and seeing how they sell. I’ll update you after 👍
Yea I figured some folks just want to have some for themselves. Markets are awesome. Build Small’s to go with large items. I’m going to do a video on it. Something $20 or less. Everyone has atleast $20 at these sales. Small’s add up fast!
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking awesome tip brother and I’ll look forward to that video. If you see this in time what’s your top tip for a small $20 item? Bird house/feeder? Figuring a few Corn Hole boards might be something people might want heading into summer also. Might be wrong in that.
Matthew Peech how long before the 20 dollar smalls video come out, any idea?
Great channel Matthew. Love your projects and your instructions. Could you please tell me the screw spacing on the top brace of the trellis and also the screw spacing on the jig for the top of the fan of the trellis. Thank you so much
Great tutorial, I'm in the shop now getting ready to batch out a few of these. Just wanted to mention that you said that the long cross piece is 34" long, but I noticed when you have it laying on your bench mat it appears to be 32" long.
Have you considered using wider lumber 10 and 12 inch boards for straighter grain on the outside edges of the board meaning is stronger.
I love your channel, I'm new to it, and you inspire me. I have a question, have you done a video about how to make the jig for the garden trellis?
This would be a huge help!!!!
I plan to make a few of these for my back fence to grow some scuppernong vines on.
Nice!
Hey Matthew, have you made avideo for making the jig and spacers. I would love to see it. Thanks
Do you sell plans for your jigs? Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
So that video last week was a older one.
I’m going to build about a dozen next week,to see how they do. Thanks man!
No rod... I posted one about a year ago that was recorded on a cell phone. The one last weekend was more of the business side. This was just the build.
@@MatthewPeechWoodworking ok cool, I’m with ya now.
How did the sales go? How much did each go for?
Two questions, do you need to use galvanized or stainless steel 3/8 x 4inch bolts? The less costly zinc ones will rust won't they? Second, do you predrill the slats so you won't split them when screwing in the 1 1/4 deck screws??
Could you describe how you pack and ship these trellis? Please
Very cool! I'm definitely gonna research the local market for these. Thank you!
if you put that bottom brace on first, might it not help stop that one strip from cracking?
Good video and job thx for sharing and the info It will look great in my garden
my father passed away this past july, and i inherited all of his wood working tools. I am learning slowoly but am lookign for the plans on how to make the fan trellace jig. is that available? thank you.
Another awesome video! Are you using regular 2x4s or treated?
Do you have a vide showing how u made the jig
The spreader jig instructions? Distances apart for the screws to fan top of trellis?
On the Garden Trellis the board 32” long for template how far apart is the screws
Do you know if this can be made with 4’ pickets? If so what size would your cross braces be?
thank you
Awesome, Plan on making a few of these for my mom and sister for their gardens as my first project... Question... you mentioned deck screws because they don't rust. Should the bolts on the bottom be a particular type to avoid rust also?
If the Trellis is in the ground, what's the best way to not let it rot? It could be Treated wood, but in a Garden, some people will frown on that. Cedar is a good choice, but what other ways or wood would be the best wayto keep these babies holding up the Veggies? Thanks a lto Matthew and all the great views and commentors - Ken in Hawaii
Is there description on how to build the jig?
Hey Matthew, just want to say thank you for helping me think out side the box. It really helps that you find a way to get the most out of the cheapest materials. I have been into wood working for 20 plus years and has most of the fancy tools that a wood shop would need until everything has stolen. With that said I am slowly replacing these tools. I would ask if you could touch on two things in the future . First could you talk about staining and how to make the barn wood ( white ) look distressed. The other would be anything to do with hand engraving ( no laser or CNC ) . I also engrave metals and real animal skulls. If you have any tips on applying this to the wood working projects you do.
Thanks

I’m brand new at woodworking, so I apologize if this seems dumb. To be clear, one 2x4 will yield six 5/8” strips…five for the fan, and one for the cross members. Correct?
It might if you don’t trim the roundover ends off. I did and I had to use a second 2x4.
Matt love your videos. Would you tell me the spacing between slats at the top of the trellis pls. I want to make a jig for it.
Thanks so much. Question? At 1:18 you said the length is 72". At 10:26 you said 7'. Which is correct?
I'm making my wife 3 of these. Thanks
Do you have plans for the jig available?
On the jig, how far are the screws from the sides and how far apart are the others? Want to build one as soon as I know this
Hey brother love your videos great stuff.
Will do!
@Matthew Peech Thank you for all you do.. Ive bought several plans and started on some projects. Great videos as well. Ive got a question maybe silly one. The plans say 72" tall. At the end of the vid Matt says they are 7 feet tall. Thats 84".. Is it 72 or 84? lol. Mine seemed a little short once i cut the strips to 72" as compared to video of him holding the trellis next to him. I thought hes either really short or I cut them to short.. Sorry Matt! Also will the cross members work if its 84 as well as for the 72 or would i need to lengthen them for the taller one?
Thanks!
Amazing content. Keep up the great work and thank you so much.
Great stuff. That centre horizontal would be better spanning the whole width though, aesthetically speaking.
My problem with making the garden fan is can’t seem to be able to keep the base straight when pulling the boards any help please. Thanks
I apologize Matt, I'm new to the game here, but I can't seem to find any info on how to build the trellis jig. Is there a video or plan for it? Anxious to get started. Thank you.
Hey! For the top The outer screws for the top are 30” apart. Then space the other two centered between outer and middle.
The other two you make when you make your first one just in case your jig is a bit off from mine or your material is different.
Thanks Matt. Keep up the good work!
Old video, and things have changed, so heed warning, I built 10 trellises, and have yet to be able to sell any both on marketplace and to most of the local garden/nurseries and outdoor places. Was asking 60 and have had to lower it to 45 to try and sell them. I've been sitting on them for a month and a half now.
Hey man is there a plan or video on how to make the jig?
I have plans but it only covers the top. The outer screws for the top are 30” apart. Then space the other two centered between outer and middle.
The other two you make when you make your first one just in case your jig is a bit off from mine or your material is different.
Love this project!
I was able to do 38" for the farthest outside 2 for the fan. I know the original video said 40 or so and some people had problems going that far. BTW I am all for trying to be as perfect as possible but the lengths of these do not have to be 100% perfect once fanned out you cant even tell if its slightly off. Made my first 2 and they look alright. I don't have a miter/chop saw yet that is next so they turned out alright. Now to sell them...After I add some kind of spike...
Can anyone tell me if the jig he is using is a 2 by 4 and if so is the cross piece recessed into the 2 by 4 or is it just nailed into the top it's hard to see from the video..thx
Maybe I missed it, but I can't find anything on painting the trellis.
Especially when it comes to the treated fence slats, which are mostly rough sawn and not that easy to pain.
I can't find the link for the plans, could you help me?
Hi Mathew, I didn’t see a link for the mat/grid on your workbench. Where can I get that??
Thx for the video. Can’t wait to get started on the trellis!!
you should be able to get that a Joann's Fabric or a Fabric store ... my wife has the small, medium & large ones for her quilting.
Made this today.
