How to Build a Trellis in a Small Yard

1). Choose a wall along your house, shed or garage (Ref 1) that you feel would benefit from a climbing plant. You can place your trellis on the side of your house to force vines to grow up over the trellis, thus providing visual interest to an often overlooked area of the yard.
2). Measure the height from the bottom of the wall to where you would like the trellis to begin. Make sure to mark these spots with a pencil. If you have a 9-foot wall, and you want a 6-foot trellis, make sure you measure from the bottom of the wall to 6 feet above that mark.
3). Measure two more 6-foot, vertical lines on both sides of the first line you have marked, spacing them 4 inches apart. You will now have five sets of dots on your wall, five dots at the top and five at the bottom.
4). Screw your eye hooks into each dot.
5). Cut five pieces of fishing line 5 inches over the line length. Therefore, if you want a 6-foot trellis, you will cut fishing line that is 77 inches in length (6 feet x 12 inches = 72, and 72 + 5 extra inches = 77).
6). Knot one end of the fishing line to the bottom eye hook, and pull the line taut, vertically, until you reach the eye hook directly above the one to which you have tied the knot. Knot the free end of the line around the top eye hook. Repeat this process until all five sets of vertical hooks have fishing line knotted between them.
7). Measure from the top of the two outside, horizontal trellis lines, down every 4 inches, until you reach the bottom of the wall, marking these spots with your pencil. You should place eighteen hooks, one on each of these dots, all the way down the left, outside length of fishing line. Repeat this process for the right, outside length of fishing line.
8). Measure the distance horizontally between each set of eighteen hooks, and cut the fishing line to equal this distance, plus 5 extra inches.
9). Knot one end of the fishing line to the top, left-hand side hook and pull it horizontally until it meets up with the top, right-hand side hook. Knot the line around that hook. Repeat this process until you have 18 horizontal lines. You now have a six-foot tall, invisible trellis, featuring four-inch by four-inch squares, which you can use to accommodate the vines of a climbing rose bush, bougainvillea, clematis or any other climbing plant you choose.
