LechuzaTRIO Cottage 30 trellis black 15011

This is Lechuza part number 15031, "Trellis for TRIO 40 with adjustable cross braces" per Lechuza's Web site. The dimensions in the description (170cm High and 113cm Wide) are correct - if you are buying for a TRIO 30 you want Lechuza part number 15011 (135 cm High and 86cm Wide), ASIN B007MAXDU0: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lechuza-Cottage-Trellis-accessory-support/dp/B007MAXDU0In the box you get 4 "adjustable cross braces" (the horizontals), 2 short poles, 2 long poles, 2 plastic connectors to join the short and long poles together (design weakness, a rubber mallet is required for assembly), 2 clips that attach to the holes in the outside circumference of the long poles to prevent the poles being pulled out of the Trio 40, and a bag of plant clips that you attach to the cross braces and wrap around the plants (I didn't count them, but there were a lot more than 12).I am giving this 3 stars because the poles are lightweight aluminium and when I received them I immediately saw that the plastic joints they will have in the middle would be a potential flaw. If you are growing something that isn't heavy and live somewhere that doesn't experience windy weather the plastic connectors might not bend, but in my case they only lasted 3 months last year before the top (short) poles were leaning ~30 degrees from the bottom (long) poles, and my indeterminate tomato plants did not like me trying to straighten them.The poles are 20 mm in diameter, so while I will be using the adjustable cross braces this year I have replaced the poles with 20 mm galvanised steel conduit - I bought a 3.75 metre length for each Trio 40, cut them in half with a hacksaw, and then drilled a 5.5 mm hole at the correct distance from the cut ends for the clips using a long Lechuza trellis pole as a guide (I took the appropriate health & safety precautions). The trellis hole covers in the Trio 40 container don't fit the threaded ends of the conduit like they do the Lechuza poles, but they fit the 20 mm conduit couplers that came attached to one end of the conduit (the other end already had a plastic safety thingy attached).

I couldn't be happier with this stylish, fantastic, really well made planters. It keep plants alive for a week without watering.

Great addition to the planters, really neat idea. A lttle expensive but will last for years.

good buy

I bought this product thinking it was a planter, as shown on the advertisement.When it arrived it is only a trellis for the planter. There is no mention of trellis on the advertisement. Item was returned.

As an update from the previous review this is for the TRIO COTTAGE 30, which is three times the size of the Cottage 30.....fits perfectly in the TRIO version of the pot

Badly advertised

This is not for the Lechuza Cottage 30, this the trellis for the bigger size so is useless
