Every gardener has at least one climbing support on their property. Most often, flower lovers do not think that such structures can become a real decoration of their garden, and at the initial stage of its organization they solve the problem of vertical gardening until fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs grow up.
DIY support for climbing plants
Now the market for garden products offers a huge selection of ready-made designs for weaving plants. But how much more pleasant it is to make them yourself! Firstly, it is not at all difficult, and secondly, children can be involved in the work. You will have the opportunity to spend some time outdoors with them, and they will have a reason to be proud, because they will feel like real gardeners! Our master class will teach you how to make supports from improvised means.
We will need an axe, four tall poles and a vine. By the way, it may well be replaced by branches left after pruning fruit trees or willow twigs. | |
We sharpen the ends of the poles that willstuck into the ground. We install them vertically, as shown in the photo. | |
Weave the branches of the vine, forming a circle. | |
Checking with the internal space of the structure. We need the vine ring to be pressed tightly against the poles. | |
We make two such rings. If you want your support to be in the shape of an expanding vase, make rings of different diameters. Once you've finalized the placement of the rings, saw off the tops of the poles if necessary. | |
Secure the rings with regular twine so they don't move. For decoration, you can braid the connections with a vine or jute rope. From short pieces of branches, make a horizontal weave, securing their ends in rings. | |
The support for climbing plants is ready. If you plan to make it high, use additional rings. For example, for clematis or girlish grapes, you can add two more and give the design the correct cylindrical shape. |
