How To Build a Garden Trellis for FREE

 Garden Obelisk

Would you like to build a garden trellis for FREE?  This is how we made a Free Standing Garden Obelisk Pyramid using a reclaimed porch railing that was discarded after a recent porch update.

Should We Buy New? 

We are very budget conscious. So we began looking through our discarded wood supply and found an old porch railing that had recently been removed.  The wooden spindles were the perfect size to use on the obelisk.

Budget

$5000

Once all the wood is gathered, begin by removing any nails or screws before cutting the boards to size.

Next, split the 2 x 4 boards in half using a table saw. When using reclaimed wood adjustments will need to be made.

Lay two boards flat and attach the spindles to the post at each marking using wood screws. Then repeat with the two remaining posts.

Once complete add to garden

Here you can see that the aged wood looks new where it is freshly cut.  This will age quickly to match.  The garden trellis or obelisk tower can also be painted to dress it up for the garden.

We love how the garden is coming along.
