Raised flower beds improve drainage, soil control, and accessibility. Choose durable materials, match bed depth to plant needs, and use a quality soil mix for best results.
A wooden trellis is an open lattice structure that supports climbing plants and creates vertical growing space. Choose materials (cedar, redwood, treated wood, or composite) and lattice size to suit the plants; stronger frameworks and extra support are needed for heavier fruit. Position trellises to face light, allow airflow from the wall, and consider movable bases and drainage when relevant.
A wood trellis fence provides privacy while supporting climbing plants. Choose rot-resistant materials, use corrosion-resistant fasteners, check local codes and utility lines, protect the wood with an exterior sealer, and plant and maintain vines carefully.
Add height, structure, and year-round interest to your garden with a wood trellis. Choose the right type and materials, pair it with suitable climbers, and maintain it for long life.
Practical advice for storing wine on redwood racks: keep bottles sideways, aim for stable cool temperatures (around 55°F), moderate humidity (about 60-70%), low light and vibration, and label bottles for optimal drinking windows.
A grape trellis supports grapes and many climbing plants, improves airflow and sun exposure, and defines garden structure. Choose materials (cedar, metal, vinyl) and a style that suit the vine and anchor it securely. Train and prune annually to keep vines productive and tidy.
A well-built wood railing adds warmth, safety, and definition to interiors and decks. Choose appropriate species and finishes, follow local codes, and maintain fasteners and finishes for long life.
