A short climber in a patio pot
You need a stake or a stackable frame, not a 2 m cage. The LYAZKMY moon 4-pack is about £12.99, with plant ties in the bullet and a stacked height of about 48.5 cm. Reviews also say a stacked pair can feel top-heavy.
Metal trellis comparison for UK pots, walls and roses
The best metal trellises, compared.
Top pick: OUUTMEE 180 x 50 cm panel Best value: LYAZKMY moon 4-pack – About £12.99 for four powder-coated frames and plant ties, 4.5 from 54 reviews, below the wall-mesh price in this snapshot. Updated October 2026.
A metal garden trellis on amazon.co.uk is a frame for a climber: a push-in stake, a tall panel, a plastic-coated wall mesh, or a freestanding obelisk. You are usually holding a rose, clematis, jasmine or peas, in a pot or on a wall. Height, fixings in the box, and the finish field are the differences that matter. Two packs share one 4.5-from-429 line and the same image, so that count is not proof of either height. The RHS says to hold a wall support about 5 cm off the masonry. Stake, mesh, panel and obelisk are separated in the [metal trellis buying guide](/hub/plant-accessories/trellis-metal/sub/trellis-metal-buying-guide). Scores start from the star line and drop when reviews are few, shared, or report missing fixings. The decision is the job and the fixing, then the height, then the finish as it is written on the listing. A wall needs plugs or brackets and an air gap.

Where will it stand?
The best metal trellises in detail
Our view
One tall narrow panel is listed at about £32.99 and 2.23 kg, with a title of 180 by 50 cm. The dimensions field swaps those numbers to 180 cm wide by 50 cm high. A United Kingdom review describes a panel about 50 cm wide, taller than the buyer, with spikes about 20 cm and no screw brackets. The listing is 4.7 from 25 reviews, and 10 UK texts are in the file. Those texts often like the look and the two sections, which can make one tall panel or two shorter ones. The review that notes the missing brackets would not trust spikes alone at that height. The finish field says galvanised steel, not hot-dip, and assembly is marked as not required while reviews describe clamps. The star line is the highest in the set, and the box still does not include a wall fixing.
Pros
- 4.7 from 25 reviews, with buyers who like the look
- About 50 cm wide in a UK review, which suits a tight space
- Two sections that reviews use as one tall panel or two shorter ones
- Finish field says galvanised steel
Cons
- No screw brackets, in a UK review
- Title and dimensions field swap width and height
- Only 10 UK texts, and spikes alone are a poor fixing at this height
- Shape field says semicircular while the bullet describes a diamond panel
Best for: A single climber in deep soil, where 50 cm of width is enough and you can add your own wall fixing.
Less suitable: A wall you expected to screw into with brackets from the box, or a wide fan of canes.

Common questions
How wide is the OUUTMEE panel?
The title and size line say 180 by 50 cm. The dimensions field says 180 cm wide and 50 cm high. A UK review describes it as about 50 cm wide and taller than the reviewer.
Can you screw it to a fence?
A UK review says there are no brackets for screws and that the panel is too tall to trust the spikes alone. The bullet says you press it into the soil with no tools.
Is the finish hot-dip galvanised?
The finish field says galvanised steel. It does not say hot-dip, and it does not give a zinc thickness. Do not upgrade that word.
Our view
Two powder-coated panels are listed at 50 cm by 182 cm and 4.7 kg, for about £49.99. The listing is 4.6 from 231 reviews, and 27 United Kingdom texts are in the file. Buyers often like the height, the look, and a clematis or honeysuckle that covered a panel. The bullet claims 23 cm ground stakes and three sections that slot without tools. Reviews say those sections come apart, and one buyer planned to glue them. There is no fitting to join the two panels, so another buyer tied them. One UK review reports rust at the tack welds after two months, with water getting into thin-wall tube, against a bullet that says a double-layered anti-rust coating. You pay for height and a one-year warranty line, and you still have to secure the joints yourself.
Pros
- 4.6 from 231 reviews, with 27 UK texts
- Two panels at 182 cm by 50 cm, listed at 4.7 kg
- Powder coat, with a one-year warranty field
- Tall enough that reviews mention a useful length in the ground
Cons
- Sections come apart, and one buyer planned to glue them
- No connector between the two panels
- One UK review reports rust at tack welds after two months
Best for: One climber in soil, if you pin the three sections before the plant hides the joints.
Less suitable: A pair of panels you need to join, or a wet wall where a two-month rust note matters.

Common questions
Do the two unho panels join?
No connector is listed. A UK review tied the panels together. Another found the three sections come apart and planned to glue them.
Is the coating rust-proof?
The bullet says a double-layered anti-rust coating on welded iron. One UK review reported thin-wall tube, tack welds and rust at the joints after two months, with water getting in.
How long are the stakes?
The bullet says 23 cm ground stakes and a panel of 182 by 50 cm. The dimensions line matches that panel size. The warranty field says 1 year.
Our view
Four powder-coated iron panels are stated at about 95 cm, for about £19.99, with a dimensions line of 20 cm wide by 94 cm high and a listed weight of 1.61 kg. The star line is 4.5 from 429, and it is the same line, the same main image, and the same pasted review texts as the 147 cm pack. Those shared United Kingdom texts mention roses, clematis, and pots, and they also say the panels do not interlock. One planter buyer wanted more stiffness for jasmine. Fixings and ties are not listed. At about £5 a panel this is a light push-in support, and the 429 count is not evidence that 429 people bought this height.
Pros
- About £19.99 for four panels stated at about 95 cm
- Powder-coated iron, and the shared texts call them useful in pots
- Prongs that one shared review bent to fit a slimmer pot
Cons
- The 4.5 from 429 line and the main image are shared with the 147 cm ASIN
- Panels do not interlock, in a shared UK text
- About 20 cm wide on the dimensions line, with no wall plugs listed
Best for: A light climber in a pot or a border, if you treat the star line as shared.
Less suitable: A wall fixing, a wide rose fan, or anyone using 429 as a vote for this height alone.

Common questions
Do the four panels join?
Nothing in the spec lines says they interlock. One UK review taped them together and was disappointed they do not. Another wanted a small connector.
Whose reviews are the 429?
This ASIN and the 147 cm ARIFARO pack share the same 4.5 from 429 line, the same image URL and the same pasted review texts. Do not read 429 as owners of the 95 cm pack only.
Will it screw to a wall?
No plugs or brackets are listed. The bullet says you secure the panels into soil or pots. A shared review mentions bending the prongs for a slimmer pot.
Our view
Four panels are stated at 147 cm, listed at 30 cm wide by 147 cm high and 3.96 kg, for about £54.99. The 4.5 from 429 line, the Garden rank, and the main image match the about £19.99 95 cm pack, and the review texts in the file are the same paste. You cannot tell which height those reviewers held. The shared texts mention attractive panels and a missing interlock. Fixings are not listed, and the assembly field says no. This is the heavier listed ARIFARO pack, and it is also the one whose star line does not belong to this height alone. At about £54.99 you are paying for a stated 147 cm without a separate UK sample.
Pros
- Stated height 147 cm, four panels, listed weight 3.96 kg
- Powder-coated, and heavier on the spec line than the 95 cm pack
- Shared texts mention roses and clematis, without saying which height
Cons
- Same 4.5 from 429 and the same main image as the about £19.99 pack
- Review file is not a separate sample of the 147 cm panels
- No wall fixings listed, and a shared text says the panels do not interlock
- About £54.99 against about £19.99 for the shorter pack with the same star line
Best for: A measured 147 cm gap, if you accept that the reviews are shared with the shorter pack.
Less suitable: Anyone treating 429 stars as proof of this height, or a wall that needs plugs in the box.

Common questions
How is this different from the cheaper ARIFARO pack?
This model is IECT58, the size line says 147 cm, the dimensions line says 30 by 147 cm and the weight is 3.96 kg. The cheaper pack is model P001 at about 95 cm and 1.61 kg.
Can you use the star rating on its own?
No. The 4.5 from 429 line and the pasted reviews match the 95 cm file, including a comment that two heights exist. The photograph URL is the same as well.
Does it include wall fixings?
No. The bullet describes securing the panels into soil or pots. The assembly field says assembly is not required.
Our view
The Flexigro pack is the wall mesh in this set whose bullet lists the fixings: six T-clips, screws, and rawl plugs per panel, at about £24. The title says two green PVC-coated steel panels of 1 m by 0.5 m, while the items field says 1. The listing is 4.5 from 58 reviews, and 34 United Kingdom texts are in the file. Reviewers use the mesh for roses, jasmine, clematis, and wisteria, and several say it replaced timber that had rotted. They also say you still drill, and one buyer who read the name Flexigro expected a sheet that bends. The bullet puts the clips about 15 mm off the wall, which is a short gap beside the 5 cm the RHS suggests for a wall support. You get the only plug kit in this comparison, and you do not get a deep air space or a flexible sheet.
Pros
- Screws, rawl plugs, and six T-clips per panel are in the bullet
- 4.5 from 58 reviews, with 34 UK texts for roses and clematis on a wall
- Green PVC-coated steel that reviewers describe as thick
- Several buyers preferred it to wooden trellis that had rotted
Cons
- Clip standoff is about 15 mm on the bullet, not a 5 cm gap
- One reviewer found the mesh rigid, not flexible
- Items field says 1 against a two-panel title
- You still drill and plug the wall
Best for: A climber on a sound brick or rendered wall, where a short clip gap is acceptable.
Less suitable: A pot, a fence you cannot drill, or a plant that needs about 5 cm of air behind the mesh.

Common questions
Are wall plugs included?
The bullet says each panel comes with six T-shaped clips, screws and rawl plugs. UK reviews say the fittings were in the box. You still drill the wall.
How far does it stand off the wall?
The bullet says the clips leave about 15 mm. The RHS figure for a wall support is about 5 cm. This pack does not claim that larger gap.
Does Flexigro bend?
A UK reviewer expected a flexible sheet from the name and found a rigid mesh. The bullet describes flat panels for walls and fences.
Our view
Four black moon frames cost about £12.99, and the bullet puts one unit at about 37 cm and two stacked at about 48.5 cm, with a roll of plant ties in the box. The listing is 4.5 from 54 reviews, and 36 United Kingdom texts are in the file. Reviewers often call the wire sturdy and easy to stack, and one used a set for a large indoor stephanotis. The same texts say a stacked pair is a bit top-heavy and that stacking adds less height than the photograph suggests. The listing says assembly is not required, while reviews describe slotting the pieces, and one buyer wanted written instructions. The bullet claims 3.8 mm welded iron wire and a powder-coated finish. For the money you get four short supports and ties, and you do not get a frame that reaches a climbing rose.
Pros
- About £12.99 for four frames, with plant ties in the bullet
- 4.5 from 54 reviews, and 36 UK texts in the file
- Powder-coated, with a stated stack height of about 48.5 cm
- Spokes that reviews say sit in the compost
Cons
- Stacked frames are described as top-heavy
- Stacking only reaches about 48.5 cm on the bullet
- No written instructions, in one UK review
Best for: Short indoor or patio climbers, where ties matter more than height.
Less suitable: A climbing rose, a wall, or a plant that needs more than about half a metre of support.

Common questions
How tall is one moon frame?
The bullet says one unit is 14.57 inches, about 37 cm, and two stacked reach 19 inches, about 48.5 cm. There is no separate dimensions field.
Are plant ties in the box?
The bullet says the 4-pack includes a roll of plant ties. That is the only pack in this set, besides SDLEFHE’s Velcro title, that states ties.
Will stacking make a tall rose support?
UK reviews say the frames slot together and can feel top-heavy, and that stacking adds little height. About 48.5 cm for two units is a pot support, not a wall rose.
Our view
Four black two-part stakes are listed at 75 cm, for about £13.99. The listing is 4.4 from 160 reviews, and the file holds 50 United Kingdom texts. Buyers use them for sweet peas, a hoya, and a windowsill cucumber, and several call them surprisingly sturdy for the price. The same sample says the top half pulls off if you lift the leg, and that the frame is too short for bigger plants. The finish field says unfinished, while a bullet says weather-resistant. Assembly is required, which matches the two-section design, though one buyer did not expect to assemble it. You get four pot stakes with a real review count, and you do not get a coated wall panel.
Pros
- About £13.99 for four stakes, at 4.4 from 160 reviews
- 50 UK texts, many of them for short climbers and drooping flowers
- Two-part legs, so the lower half can stand alone while a plant is small
- A seller replaced a flawed insert after a photo, in one review
Cons
- The top half separates if you pull the leg
- Finish field says unfinished, against a weather-resistant bullet
- Several reviews call them too short for bigger plants
Best for: Sweet peas, a hoya, or another short climber in a pot.
Less suitable: A wall rose, or anyone who needs a stated powder coat.

Common questions
Is the finish powder-coated?
The finish field says unfinished. The bullets call the metal weather-resistant. Those two lines are not the same claim.
Why do the legs come apart?
UK reviews say each leg is jointed halfway. If you lift the frame by the top, the upper half separates. The bullet says you connect two sections and push the spikes in.
Is 75 cm enough for a climber?
The size line says 75 cm. UK reviews call that short and fine for sweet peas, hoya or a windowsill cucumber, and not for bigger plants.
Our view
Four stackable round frames cost about £16.99 and are listed at 900 g, with a bullet that starts at about 38 cm for one unit. The listing is 4.3 from 76 reviews, and 41 United Kingdom texts are in the file. Some buyers stacked them for jasmine, a climbing rose, and sweet peas, and liked using four short frames or two taller ones. Other texts call the wire flimsy, and one says the pieces never fitted. The colour field says purple. The listing says assembly is not required, while reviews describe fitting sections together. Ties are not on the specification lines. You pay more than the moon pack for a similar stack, and the review file is more mixed about the wire.
Pros
- 4.3 from 76 reviews, with 41 UK texts
- Four short frames or two stacked ones, from a 38 cm unit
- Powder coat claimed, and some reviews call the stack decorative
Cons
- Several UK texts call the wire flimsy or thin
- The colour field says purple
- About £16.99, with no ties on the specification lines
- One buyer said the pieces never fitted
Best for: A light jasmine or sweet pea in a pot, if you check the colour before you order.
Less suitable: A heavy rose, or a buyer who would rather have the cheaper moon pack with ties included.

Can you change the height?
The bullet says one unit is about 38 cm and that units stack. UK reviews describe four singles or two taller frames from one pack.
Are they strong enough for a rose?
Some UK reviews say a climbing rose or jasmine was supported. Others call the wire flimsy or say it never fitted. The star line is 4.3 from 76 reviews.
Our view
Two powder-coated spiral stakes are listed at 27 cm by 82 cm and 660 g, for about £13.99. The listing is 4.2 from 14 reviews, and only five United Kingdom texts are in the file. Some of those buyers call the stakes light and suitable for a planter. Others say they keep falling apart and feel cheap. One box included tie tape and butterfly decorations that the specification lines do not mention. The bullet says rust-proof, and nothing in the file is a rust test. Assembly is marked as required. At this review count, a joint that comes apart is the fact you have, rather than a one-off you can set aside.
Pros
- About £13.99 for two spirals stated at 82 cm
- Powder-coated iron wire claimed on the bullet
- Listed at 660 g, light enough for a planter
Cons
- Only five UK texts, and they include joints falling apart
- Smaller than one buyer expected
- Bullet says rust-proof without a test in the file
Best for: A light houseplant or a short outdoor pot climber you can retie if a joint slips.
Less suitable: A rose, or a buyer who wants a finish claim backed by more than 14 reviews.

Do they stay together?
Assembly is required. One UK review says they keep falling apart and called them cheap and flimsy. Another called them sturdy. The file has five UK texts.
Are they for a houseplant pot?
The title names ivy, pothos, hoya and monstera, indoors or outdoors. The bullet says you push the stakes into soil. No wall plugs are listed.
Our view
The Ram obelisk is a painted dark-green cage at about £8.95, titled 2 m, with a dimensions line of 40 cm wide by 190 cm high and a listed weight of 1.26 kg. A sample of 50 United Kingdom reviews, from a listing total of 2,300 at 4.0 stars, often likes the size once the bolts are tight, including for sweet peas and a rose. The same sample keeps returning to a missing nut or bolt, thin tube, and instructions that need two people. One reviewer measured about 185 cm, so the title is already ahead of both the dimensions line and that tape. The finish field says painted, which is a colour coat rather than powder coat or hot-dip galvanising. The assembly field says no, while the reviews describe bolts. You get a large cage for the money if a spare nut is in the shed, and you do not get the thick steel the title suggests.
Pros
- About £8.95 for a cage the dimensions line puts at 190 cm
- 4.0 from 2,300 reviews, with 50 UK texts in the sample
- Dark green paint that several reviews describe as close to black
- Several buyers found it sturdy once the bolts were tight
Cons
- A missing nut or bolt comes up repeatedly in UK reviews
- Thin tube, and one review calls it cheap and nasty
- Title says 2 m; one reviewer measured about 185 cm
- Assembly field says no, while reviews describe bolts
Best for: A light sweet pea or a small climber in a border, if you can replace a missing nut.
Less suitable: A heavy rambling rose, or anyone who wants a powder-coated frame that pushes in without bolts.

Common questions
Does the Ram obelisk need assembly?

Is it actually 2 metres tall?
The title says 2 m. The dimensions line says 190 cm high and 40 cm wide. One UK review measured about 185 cm.

The finish field says painted, in dark green. It does not say powder-coated or hot-dip galvanised.
Our view
The SDLEFHE pack is listed at about £10.99 with a Velcro tape roll in the title and a dimensions line of 26.2 cm by 82 cm. The listing shows 3.6 stars from two reviews, and those two United Kingdom texts disagree: one calls the poles sturdy and the Velcro useful, the other says the frame is shorter and less sturdy than described. The items field says 1 while the title says 2 PCS, and the title, size line, and dimensions use three different height figures. Listed weight is 340 g. The finish field is empty. With two reviews that do not agree, this is not a frame you can rank against packs that have dozens of UK texts.
Pros
- Velcro tape is named in the title and praised in one of the two reviews
- Listed at about £10.99
- One review describes a tool-free push fit
Cons
- 3.6 from only two reviews, and they conflict
- Title says 2 pieces; the items field says 1
- No finish is stated, and the height figures do not match
Best for: A light indoor stem, if you want ties in the box and can accept a two-review listing.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a stated finish, or a height checked against more than two texts.

Common questions
Does it include plant ties?

How tall is the SDLEFHE trellis?
The dimensions line says 82 cm high and 26.2 cm wide. The title says 32.3 inches. The size line says 10.6 by 32 inches. Those figures are not the same claim.
Do the two reviews agree?
No. One UK review calls it sturdy and tool-free. The other says it is shorter than described and not as sturdy. The star line is 3.6 from 2 reviews.
How we compared
Eleven metal trellises on amazon.co.uk were scored from the listing facts and the stored United Kingdom review texts in this set on 16 October 2026. The editorial score uses the star line with a volume factor, whether the fixings match the job, repeated points in those reviews, and what the pack includes for the price. A star line shared by two ASINs is reduced. There was no lab test and no wind-load test.

Metal trellis buying guide
Start with the job, a pot stake or a wall fixing, then with the height the plant will actually use. Finish, review volume and whether the star line belongs to that ASIN decide the rest. The notes below follow that order for these eleven listings.
What is a metal garden trellis?
A metal trellis in this set is a frame that holds a climber. On amazon.co.uk that frame is a push-in stake, a stackable pot frame, a tall narrow panel, a plastic-coated wall mesh, or a freestanding obelisk. You are usually supporting a rose, clematis, jasmine or an annual such as peas, in a pot or on a wall. The decision is the job and the fixing, then the height, then the finish as it is written on the listing. A wall needs plugs or brackets and an air gap. A pot needs a short spike.
Best for
- A short climber in a pot, where ties in the box matter more than height
- A wall climber where the listing names screws and rawl plugs
- A buyer who reads the finish field together with the review count
Not ideal for
- A heavy rambler on wire priced under about £15
- A 5 cm air gap behind the mesh, which this set does not supply
- Anyone adding the two ARIFARO review counts together
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Believing the assembly field
Several listings say assembly is not required. UK reviews of the Ram obelisk describe bolts, and reviews of the moon and circle frames describe slotting the pieces. Read the reviews next to that field.
- 2
Quoting 429 reviews for one height
The ARIFARO 95 cm pack and the 147 cm pack share one 4.5-from-429 line, the same main image and the same pasted texts. That count is a family figure.
- 3
Reading rust-proof over the finish field
Powder coat, paint, PVC and a galvanised-steel field are different claims. The Ram field says painted. The WELDUN field says unfinished. One unho review reports rust at tack welds after two months. A spike panel is not a boundary screen.
What to weigh up
Job, fixing and height
HighChoose a pot stake or a wall fixing first. A wall needs plugs or brackets and an air gap. A pot needs a short spike. The RHS says to hold a wall support about 5 cm off the masonry and to fit it before planting. Flexigro is the row whose bullet lists screws, rawl plugs and six T-clips, with a stated gap of about 15 mm. OUUTMEE reviews say there are no screw brackets. Then match the plant. Moon frames are about 37 cm, or about 48.5 cm if two are stacked. WELDUN is listed at 75 cm.
Finish, the star line and the price band
HighRead the finish field as written. Powder coat, paint, PVC and a bare galvanised-steel line are different claims. Hot-dip zinc protects a scratch differently from a colour film. Do not upgrade the wording. Several multi-packs weigh under 2 kg, and UK reviews use thin and flimsy often. Use the star line only with the count, and only if it belongs to that ASIN. Ram is 4.0 from 2,300 reviews and the texts still describe missing nuts. The two ARIFARO packs share 4.5 from 429.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Replacing rotten timber on a wall
You need plugs and a standoff. In this set that is the Flexigro mesh at about £24, with screws, rawl plugs and clips in the bullet. The stated gap is about 15 mm, which is shorter than the RHS figure of about 5 cm.
A rose that needs a rigid tie-in
Treat wire under about £15 as temporary. A climbing rose wants a frame you can tie to, not a windowsill stake. The Flexigro panels are the wall row with fixings in the bullet. The Ram obelisk is a large cheap cage, and UK reviews still call the tube thin.
Common questions about metal trellises
Which metal trellis is the top pick in this set?
The top pick for a wall is the Flexigro flat panels at about £24. The title says two green PVC-coated steel panels of 1 m by 0.5 m, and the bullet lists six T-clips, screws and rawl plugs per panel. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 58 reviews. The clips are stated at about 15 mm off the wall, shorter than the 5 cm the RHS suggests for a wall support. The items field says 1 against a two-panel title. This was not a lab test.
Which metal trellis is the best value?
The best value is the LYAZKMY moon 4-pack at about £12.99. The bullet puts one frame at about 37 cm and two stacked at about 48.5 cm, with a roll of plant ties. The listing is 4.5 from 54 reviews. Stored UK texts call the wire sturdy and also say a stacked pair can feel top-heavy. It is a pot support. It is not a frame for a climbing rose, and it does not include wall plugs.
How much does a metal trellis cost on amazon.co.uk?
On these eleven shelves, checked on 16 October 2026, prices run from about £8.95 to about £54.99. Under about £15: Ram about £8.95, SDLEFHE about £10.99, the LYAZKMY moon pack about £12.99, and Cormunalis and WELDUN about £13.99. Mid range: the circle pack about £16.99, ARIFARO 95 cm about £19.99, Flexigro about £24 and OUUTMEE about £32.99. unho is about £49.99 and the ARIFARO 147 cm pack is about £54.99. Those figures are that date, not a promise.
Do I need planning permission for a metal trellis in England?
In England, permitted development for a gate, fence, wall or other means of enclosure is generally lost above 1 metre next to a highway used by vehicles, or above 2 metres elsewhere. That is the Planning Portal guide to the GPDO 2015, Class A. A pot stake is not automatically an enclosure. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own rules. If the piece is a roadside or listed boundary, ask the planning authority before you fix it.
How far should a wall trellis stand off the masonry?
The RHS says to hold a wall support about 5 cm off the masonry, to fit it before planting, and to plant about 45 cm out from a solid wall. If you train on wires, the RHS spacing is about 30 to 45 cm, tied with twine. In this amazon.co.uk set only Flexigro states a standoff, and that figure is about 15 mm from the clips. That is a shorter gap than 5 cm. No British Standard is printed on these listings.
Can I trust the 429 reviews on the ARIFARO packs?
No. The 95 cm ARIFARO pack at about £19.99 and the 147 cm pack at about £54.99 share one 4.5-from-429 line, the same main image and the same pasted review texts. That count is a family figure. It does not show that 429 people bought either height. The shorter pack is model P001 at 1.61 kg. The taller pack is model IECT58, listed at 30 by 147 cm and 3.96 kg.
Should I buy a metal trellis or a wood trellis?
Timber rots when it stays wet. Thin metal can rust at welds: one unho review reports rust at tack welds after two months, and the Ram finish field says painted, not hot-dip galvanised. Powder coat, paint, PVC and a galvanised field are different claims. Do not read a rust-proof bullet over a finish field that says painted or unfinished. The material choice, without these ASIN ranks, is the wood trellis comparison.
When should I stop and call a professional?
Call a professional, or the planning authority, if the piece is a roadside or listed boundary, if you are drilling above head height and you are unsure of the plugs, if the old fence is rotten, or if welds are already rusted through and someone may lean on the frame. Goods must be safe and of satisfactory quality and as described under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. No British Standard is printed on these listings.
Our verdict
In this set of eleven amazon.co.uk listings, the top pick for a wall is the Flexigro flat panels at about £24. The bullet lists six T-clips, screws and rawl plugs per panel, and the listing is 4.5 from 58 reviews. The stated clip gap is about 15 mm, not the 5 cm the RHS suggests, and the items field says 1 against a two-panel title. The best value is the LYAZKMY moon 4-pack at about £12.99, 4.5 from 54 reviews, with four powder-coated frames and plant ties, stacked to about 48.5 cm. It is a pot support. The two ARIFARO packs share one 4.5-from-429 line, so that count is not a vote for either height. Nothing here was lab tested.
