Building a Fan Trellis
This trellis is sophisticated-looking, but amazingly easy to make. A stake cut from pressure-treated wood holds the bottom in place, but the trellis needs a building or fence to lean against for support (Fig. 1). The hardest part may be coming up with the wood pieces for the trellis ? thin strips of clear redwood or cedar that are 3/4-inch wide by 3/8-inch thick. If your lumberyard can't produce them for you at a reasonable price, you can cut them on a table saw or radial arm saw.
