H Potter Large Garden Trellis Wrought Iron Heavy Scroll Metal Decoration Weather Resistant Lawn, Patio & Wall Decor Screen for Rose, Clematis, Ivy GAR602

The product is beautiful. At first I thought H Potter meant it was a spin off from Harry Potter (not true), but this trellis does have a medieval, wrought iron, artsy and solid vibe to it that does make me think of a castle. It's easy to put together but you do need 2 people to balance it. I actually put it over an existing rose bush so I didn't install it flush with the ground. The 2 side pieces stabilize it for "tilt" while the bottom spike are long and anchor the trellis to the ground. I love it and am considering another one. I needed something to draw attention in a large gray open space without being intrusive to the walkway. My only detraction...the side pieces require black zip ties. 1) They aren't part of the packaging so I didn't know they were needed and 2) Zip ties take away from the overall appearance. I wish there was another way to attach them.

The design and quality of the trellis is fantastic. It is, without a doubt, heavy duty! Putting it together was a little tricky only because a couple of the holes that were meant to hold the trellis halves together were not in sync. We used an electric drill to expand one of the holes and were able to put it all together. It is definitely not going anywhere! My clematis is happily climbing it right now!

I bought this trellis to support a trailing bush against the side of my house in Florida. Being in a state that has hurricane issues, I needed a piece that would withstand wind. The support system (bottom and side stakes) definitely provide this. A second concern when deciding on a trellis was the finish. Our summers being extremely hot, I required a piece that would have a finish that wouldn't crack and peel. Although it has not been put to the test of time, I do not expect to see a problem developing as this powder coating has a reputation for longevity and that is one of the reasons for purchasing the H. Potter trellis as opposed to others that were available. The price was a bit higher than others but I have learned that you get what you pay for. I would rather pay a little more at the get go and know that the quality is top notch.

I love the color and design/style of the trellis. It is a little weaker where the two parts screw together vertically, but overall good solid quality. I feel the bottom section that goes in the ground is REALLY heavy duty, but I didn't use that, so it is a bit of a waste. I would be nice if you could save a little money and pass on that lower mount.

This product is GORGEOUS and brings such loveliness to my garden. However, it was not cheap, and for the amount of money spent, there were two surprising and disappointing issues with this product. While the main structure did come with pre-drilled holes and screws to securely assemble the main two parts together, the two outer support bars came with no drilled screw holes, and UNBELIEVABLY, with only black plastic pull ties intended to hold them to the main structure. Also, the screws included were not stainless steel. So in order to keep them from rusting in the elements, we had the added expense of purchasing those at the local hardware store. Luckily, my husband is handy and could drill holes and purchase proper screws for me, but such an inconvenience for the money spent, and especially for anyone without a handy husband to fix the problem!
