This fan trellis is designed from natural cedar. Cedar gives the benefit of being weather and pest resistant. This trellis is sanded smooth and prepared for you to stain or paint if you desire. Leave it naturally raw and enjoy it as the outdoors ages it. This trellis will last for years to come, with the exception of the stakes that are in contact with the soil. These are made easily replacable so that you can keep your trellis for as long as possible, for your gardening enjoyment.
