- Today I will show you how to build and install a wire trellis on your wall and timber fence. This is an easy DIY method to support your climbers such as clematis, honeysuckle, roses and more.
This method requires very little DIY knowledge and, once installed, you will only need to check it once a year.
It’s difficult to know how to express myself on social media when there is so much sorrow and devastation in the world we live in, particularly in Ukraine. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Ukraine.

So wonderful to find a good English vlog, nearly all I've found on You Tube are in USA.
Wow, thank you Laurel! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos. 😁💚🌸
Thank you. Finally I understand the turn buckle 🥳. I’ve been researching trellises for a couple of days and you are the first person to explain this clearly. 🥰
Oh I'm so glad we could help, Brittany. 😁🌿🌸
Same!! Thank you
AGREED! I watched this video first, then several more, and I'm following your direction. Can't wait to get started.
Agreed! This is the best video I’ve found!
Loved this cost effective DIY solution. Most videos on RUclips shows extensive construction of trellis which needs a lot of materials, time, effort and money. I didn't want to spend a fortune just to get my creepers up a wall. Your solution is not only elegant but also inexpensive. Thanks a lot.
So glad it was helpful. 😊
Thank you, thank your, thank you! I am 75 years old and can do this myself.
Wonderful! So glad it was helpful! 👍🏼
Great video, really useful and clearly explained without the fluff you get on other channels 👍
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the kind words. 😁
THANK YOU SO MUCH
😁
This is the most helpful Tutorial I have ever enjoyed.I gleaned so much comprehensive instruction and information on pruning and supporting climbing roses. Thank you Annette.
You are so welcome! 😊
Best tutorial I've found online. Thank you!
Wow, thanks!
Thanks for the tips, really helpful and inspiring.😊
Glad it was helpful Robin.
Thank you for this video, is the most straight to the point and simple to follow 💖
Brilliant. So happy I could help.
Didn’t think about using turnbuckles. Great idea! I just bought some for the one side. I got 2mm wire. Now I need to install these. Cheers.
This was a very informative film. Exactly what I needed. Thank you so very much.
Brilliant Katie, glad it was helpful!
You're very welcome! I'm happy I could help.
Very useful because I don’t know anything about these tools. A turnbuckle, marvelous! 🙏🏼
Thank you Elsa, Glad it was helpful!
What an excellent tutorial, which was clearly demonstrated and explained. Armed with the knowledge you have kindly imparted, I shall now go and install some vine eyes and lines to support a climbing rose on the side of my house.
Glad it was helpful! Best of luck with your climbing rose 😁🌹💚
Thanks for making it look simple. Our next project 😊😊
You are welcome 😊 Good luck!
David Austin sells 2 mm galvanised wire ,so I went to B&Q and bought 2mm x 100 m . Thanks for the tips ❤
That is awesome!
Thanks so much. Really helpful video.😊
You're so welcome! 😊
This was a really helpful tutorial, thank you! Just what I needed :)
I'm so glad! Thank you. 🔨👍🏼🌸
This was a really helpful video, my climbing rose blew over last night so I need a more secure way to support it. Thanks for the advice.
I'm so glad you found it helpful. Good luck with your new trellis.
Verry hulpfull! Thank you ma’am. All the best from the Netherlands 👋🏽
You’re welcome 😊 I'm so glad it was helpful.
Nice, I will implement for my Paul Himalayan musk rose, its a fast climber and already needing training in its first season. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I love musk roses!
Just what I needed. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for this, about to do this for some Espalier trees, so very helpful!
You are so welcome!
Tremendous video, very much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!😁
So helpful. Thank you!
Hi Gemma, I'm glad it was helpful! All the best with your wire trellis 😁
Thank you for this!
My pleasure!
Great ideas. Thank you!
Thanks Julie. All the best with your wire trellis 😃
Very clear and helpful, thanks
Thanks Amelia. 😁🌱🦋
Great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it! 🌴
lol I've just been doing this "twins" that brick column is a wonderful spot for a climbing rose 😊
twins! how fab 😉
Thanks I'll try 🙂 as well
Great! Hope you are successful. 😁
Good one
Thank you so much
Thank you
You're welcome
Lol 😂 I was doing the same thing for my kiwi’s two days ago 👍🏼✅ CHIPS WORLD
It's a very satisfying job!
Thank you for your really clear and helpful explanation of how to install a wire trellis. I've got concrete fence posts so will be using special wire anchors with holes to thread the galvanised wire through. My longest length of fencing is 12 meters (the other lengths are 11m and 9m). Please could you advise how many turnbuckles I'd need for one length of wire? I don't want to overload it.
You are welcome Jan. You really only need 1 turnbuckle for each length of wire. You could make a wire trellis without them but then you wouldn't be able to tighten the wires over the years. But that's all they are used for - they don'e add an additional strength or anything like that. 😊
That drill looked like it was in reverse 😮
Oh!
Nice video. As a suggestion, I'd have just made 2 holes at the top and 2 at the bottom to put in a trellis to train it on, less holes, easy solution that looks great as well. :)
Thank you. Yes, that is easier if you want a trellis but we wanted something less visible.
Such a helpful video! Can I please ask if you put those teun buckle on both ends oe just on one? Thanks so much!
Hi, Just on one end.
Thanks so much, this is very helpful. Do you find you need the vertical wire too for plants to grow up or is horizontal ok?
Hi Linda, No, you don't need vertical wire too, unless you feel that it will benefit your climbers but most climbers will naturally grow upwards, towards more light. It won't hurt them to have it but we never have. Hope this helps. Annette
This was so clear, thanks! I have just planted three clematis, spread across 4 fence panels. Would one wire lenght be OK across all four panles? Or would you do 2 and 2? If so, could they go in the same vine eye in the centre? Thanks!!
Gosh, without know the measurements, it's hard to advise. We used one wire all the way along but used a vine eye on each fence post.
Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the video, really helpful. Please can you tell me what size/length vine eye you would need for supporting a climbing rose on a house wall? I'd want enough space behind the wire for air circulation. Thanks 😊
Hi Valerie, So glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. These are the vine eyes we used for our roses that are on our house wall and they seem to be perfect. Hope this helps. Thanks, Annette

I love your video. It is really helpful. Just wonder what is the size of the hook wire and the wire size?
Hi Florencia, I have linked all the products we used in the description below the video - do take a look there where you will find all the information you need. Thanks for watching. 😁
@@cottoverdi yes. I just found out too.Thank you!
Hi, great video! I plan to do a wire trellis on a timber fence similar to yours. How far apart vertically are the wires? 20-30cm? I'm looking to grow star jasmine. Any recommendation on size of turnbuckles and vine eyes? Thanks again.
Hi Rosie, yes. I'd say that they cables are about 30cm apart, maybe 40cm. I've listed all the products I used in the description of this video - take a look at the links for sizes etc. Good luck with your trellis.
@@cottoverdi thank you 😊
Very helpful thank you. How do you then tie the branches to the wire ? What do you use ? Thanks
Hi there, We use garden twine, like a very thin sisal string. It's important to tie things in using a figure of eight pattern so that they don't rub against the support. This video has detailed instructions towards the end
ruclips.net/video/ma7j1c16CZ0/видео.htmlsi=EW5nzMEIgTh61xcX
and there is a link to the jute twine we use in the description below the video.
@@cottoverdi thank you so much , super helpful 🙏
My garden centre recommended rope wire for strength is this what you have used please? Our fence doesn't have the posts just the panels is this ok please
Hi, no, we didn't;t use rope wire - it's not necessary for the roses but it does depend on what you're going to grow on your trellis. We used this 1.8mm wire : amzn.to/3VBY030
Hello, thank you for your help. I’m wondering if you can help. Do I need a turnbuckle on both ends? I’ll be using this installation indoors and hanging posters on it. The stance is about 9 meters.
Hi, no there's no need - the turnbuckle is just there so that you can tighten the wire because it loosens over time. It's best to check it every year and just twist the turnbuckle until it's taut again.
Hi, this is so helpful thank you. I have a huge wall (10x5m) and I would like to have star jasmines go wild on it! Do you have vertical lines as well as horizontal? How wide should I space it? How wide would you need a spacer vine eye to be (every couple of meters?). Thank you so much for this! Thinking I need 3mm wire, turnbuckles both ends because of the length. Any help would be so appreciated!
Hi Lewis, That's a big wall! You only need 1 turnbuckle on each wire. I've never installed vertical wires. And I think we usually have a vine eye every 2 meters or so. Good luck!
@@cottoverdi Thank you so much xx
Can you drill the holes into mortar instead of the brick?
Yes, you can drill anywhere that suits your design. 😁
Do you have a vid of how it grew please?
Hi, yes, I will be posting a video in a few days to show how it looks this year - it is in full flower right now. 😁🌸🌱
Hi I’m wondering why you didn’t use the turn buckle on the wall wires and only on the fence wires?
Hi Ruby, we didn't;t use the turnbuckle on this particular wall because it was just a pillar and so it was very short and the turnbuckle would've been pointless. On longer walls, we definitely use turnbuckles on every single length. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching. Annette 😁
Is there a reason you didn't install turnbuckles on the wall? Our front door jettisons out from the house, supported by two pillars either side. I want to grow a rose (Generous Gardener) up each but need to install wire supports. This is the closest information I've found about putting wire supports on a small section of wall on the internet. Thanks.
Hi Josh, Thank you so much - I'm glad we could help. The reason we didn't use turnbuckles on the wall, is because it's just a brick pillar and so we felt it was too short a length of wire to benefit from the turnbuckles (less than 1 meter). Also, we weren't planning to grow anything heavy in this area - predominantly a Type 3 clematis, which needs to be chopped back each year. In retrospect, we may well regret the decision and decide that we need to retro-fit some turnbuckles 😬😃. Good luck with your project.
Can this just be done between fence posts without the fence panelling behind it?
Hi Penelope, yes, you can definitely just use fence posts - as long as they are sturdy enough to take the tensioned wire. Hope this helps. Annette
Turnbuckle at only one end yes?
Yes, only one end.
What do you use to tie the clematis to the wire?
Hi Dan, we just use ordinary garden twine. thanks for watching 😁🌸
Would this be suitable for a grapevine?
Hi there, I think you can definitely use this method but I would probably choose a thicker/stronger gauge wire because the grapes themselves will be heavy. 👍🏼
Would this be the same for climbing roses? Will the wire be strong enough etc?
Hi, yes, this is what we used for the 3 David Austin James Galway roses on the front of our house, you can find videos about them (to see what they look like) on my channel. I'm not sure about a rambler - maybe just use higher gauge wire for them because they are so huge.
He really should be using eye protection for the drilling
Lovely video though. Very good instructions. Thank you
I agree!
Thank you Matthew.
