How to build a square garden trellis panel from wood and bamboo sticks

This can be an easy and rewarding garden project. Your creepy crawly plants will love it.

The square trellis is not only a multi-purpose trellis but makes a nice centrepiece for the garden. 

You can grow flowers, soft fruit, vines and vegetables such as cucumbers to grapes and passion fruit. 

To build a 4m x 4m square trellis with two opened ends and three closed ends, you’ll need 35 small bamboo sticks and 4 treated posts. 
You'll also need hand tools. Here is the material breakdown:
  • 4 treated posts 4m in length,
  • 8 sticks on each side (x2 panels),
  • 8 for the top panel,
  • 10 sticks for strengthening the sides and top panels, and
  • 1 extra.
And, here are the quick steps to guide you when building the trellis.
  • Firstly, use the first lot of 8 sticks to build the first panel.
  • Secondly, repeat the 3 steps to build the other - you should have three 4m x 4m trellis panels.
  • Thirdly, dig the soil and lay the 4 treated posts at each corner.
  • Next, tie the three panels to the posts.
  • Then, strengthen the trellis by tying bamboo sticks across the frame (or diagonally along it)
  • Finally, your square trellis is ready.
The square trellis is a stunner – a great garden centrepiece. 

The treated posts give this trellis longevity. It can last for up to 10 years or more. 

After that, you can replace the bamboo trellis panels and give them a new look. Your plants are going to love it.

How to Build a Bamboo Wall Trellis with Picture

Garden trellis panels and frames are ideal for vines and creepers. 

You can build a bamboo trellis in any shape using bamboo. The sticks are strong and bendable. 

Here are some ideas for a DIY garden trellis.

What you will need

You will need a pair of secateurs or garden loppers, a handsaw, garden ropes, cable ties and bamboo sticks. 

If you do not grow the running or clumping bamboos, you can purchase the sticks from a DIY shop or source them online.

An arch trellis is ideal for narrow walls and small gardens. 

Small creeper plants will also love the slender-slim bamboo trellis. 
To make it, you will need two tall bamboo sticks and plenty of short ones, a pair of secateurs and garden ropes or small cable ties.
  • Firstly, tie the tips of the two sticks together.
  • Secondly, bend the sticks to form an arch shape. (You can adjust the length and width to your liking).
  • Then, tie the short bamboo sticks horizontally and vertically – the closer the better. (You can also do this diagonally).
  • Finally cut off any uneven edges sticking out.
That’s it. Your slim-arch trellis is ready to use!

How to build an A-Framed Trellis for Runner Beans with Pictures

  Building an A-Framed Garden Trellis for Runner Beans is the best thing you can do.

A-framed trellis panels

The A-Framed Garden Trellis is best for runner beans and other creeper plants that needed support. 

You have the option to build two trellis panels assemble them or build the A-framed structure in the garden. 

For a 4m x 4m A-framed trellis, you’ll need 21 bamboo sticks. 

 To build it, follow these steps:
  • Firstly, stake 6 sticks on each side to form an A-shape. (The best way to start is to make the front, middle and back As – we call them the 3As)
  • Secondly, tie long bamboo across the top of the 3As. (This is the length of the A-framed trellis panel).
  • Thirdly, put the other bamboo stick in between the spaces and tie them together. You will have to space them apart according to the number of plants you want to grow.
  • Then, tie 3 or 4 bamboo across (or diagonally) to strengthen the trellis panel.
  • Finally, your A-framed bamboo trellis is ready.
Your runner beans are going to adore the A-framed trellis.
Note that if you are going to build a trellis for planting the runner beans, you may have to stake them 20cm to 30cm apart. That means that you will need additional sticks, where necessary.

How to build a sweet pea garden frame trellis using bamboo sticks with pictures

Sweet peas are adorable plants with stunning (sweet-scented) flowers. They will definitely love the support to grow well. 

Build frames of bamboo poles and trellis for them.

Bamboo Garden Trellis Panels Bamboo pot trellis: (L) Sweet pea in full summer bloom and (R) the sweet pea and trellis support in winter.

Sweet pea garden trellis

Sweet peas love the pyramid-like trellis with three sides. 

If you are growing them in a large pot or in the garden, you should build this trellis. 

It looks more or less like a wigwam, but the better because the bamboo sticks will cross-cross close together to form an adorable pattern. 

The sweet pea garden trellis will have 3 side panels, when combined they'll form a pyramidal structure. 

That means that you will have to make three separate trellis panels and put them together.
As a side note, you can build more than three panels (in this case they'll be squares) and put them together, side-by-side.
You will need bamboo sticks, garden ropes, cable ties, a handsaw and a pair of secateurs.

Here is how to build a sweet pea trellis frame

  • Firstly, cut 6 lots of bamboos in equal lengths of 4m. (These bamboos will form the sides of the trellis panels).
  • Secondly, you’ll make three trellis bamboo panels, use 2 bamboos you cut earlier and tie some small bamboo sticks in a triangular shape.
  • Thirdly, repeat the same step until you’ve made 3 triangular trellis panels.
  • Then, use cable ties or garden ropes to tie the 3 trellis panels together to form a pyramid structure.
  • Finally, cut out the uneven edges and tidy them up.
That’s it, your Sweet Pea Garden Trellis is ready to use. Grow the sweet pea seeds or of the new plant underneath and around the trellis. They will look lovely!
