CableTrellis : Overview

CableTrellis now in 8 colors!

Drawing from our vast experience with aluminum frames and stainless steel cable, rods and fittings, we've developed two simple and attractive vertical trellises for residential and commercial settings: the wall mounted Somerset® trellis and freestanding Greenway® trellis.

Sold in easy to use kits with powder coated aluminum support frames and sleek stainless steel cable and rod vine grids, these trellises offer simple, elegant design details with exceptional versatility and easy installation. Use them to help minimize UV exposure on walls, control ambient heat gain, expand a garden space vertically, frame a lovely view or create a shaded partition. And at season’s end when the plants recede and the structure takes center stage, CableTrellis trellises will continue to provide a beautiful accent to your personal landscapes. Wherever your imagination takes you, CableTrellis can help you get there.

CableTrellis™ : Key Features & Benefits

CableTrellis trellises can be utilitarian, decorative and even artistic.

They can expand your garden space vertically and offer support for vines and vegetables. Freestanding trellises with cascading greenery or fragrant flowers can make beautiful space-dividing screens, privacy barriers or sun shades while wall mounted displays can turn an otherwise stark wall or fence into a colorful, textured backdrop. Trellises can even be used to frame a lovely view, direct foot traffic or create a cool, relaxing retreat or entertaining area. And at season's end when the plants recede and the structure takes center stage, CableTrellis trellises will continue to provide a simple, elegant accent to your personal landscapes.

CableTrellis™ : Maintenance

CableTrellis Systems Care & Maintenance.

The protective chromium oxide film on the surface of stainless steel gives it superior corrosion resistance. Properly maintained stainless steel provides excellent luster, strength and durability. In most applications stainless steel won't rust or stain even after many years of service, but it's NOT rust or stain proof. When stainless comes in contact with chloride salts, sulfides or other rusting metals, it can discolor or even rust and corrode. With proper care and maintenance, however, stainless steel can remain beautiful and functional for years to come, even when it's exposed to marine environments, polluted surroundings, salted highways, or anywhere it might be exposed to corrosive elements.

Clean stainless regularly with soap and warm water. Never clean with mineral acids or bleaches.
Never leave stainless in contact with iron, steel or other metals. This can cause rust spots or corrosion.
Always remove stains or rust spots as soon as possible with either soap and water or a brass, silver, stainless or chrome cleaner.
Never use coarse abrasives like sandpaper or steel wool on stainless. Use synthetic Scotch pads instead.
Periodically inspect cable assemblies for proper tension and re-tension as necessary. This is important.
Use the color matched spray paint (included with each order) to touch-up any scratches on the frame. Be sure the surface being painted is clean and dry. Always follow the painting instructions on the can.
As necessary, clean the trellis frame with mild soap and water using a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Be sure to wipe-up any bird droppings or sap drips as soon as possible to avoid possible staining or discoloration. Never use steel wool, sand paper, acid, bleach or other abrasive or caustic materials on your trellis as they may cause permanent damage to the finish.
Periodically clean the stainless steel infill cables with mild soap and water using a synthetic Scotch type pad. Any cleaner safe for glass is usually safe for stainless; never use mineral acids or bleaches. Do not leave stainless in contact with iron, steel or other metals as this may cause staining or corrosion, and if stain spots do appear, be sure to clean them right away.
Periodically check to see that all components and screw connections are tight and secure and re-tighten as needed.

CableTrellis™ : Ordering

How to Order CableTrellis Kits

Carefully Review: Read the product pages (Somerset® and Greenway®) and installation instruction.
Select Trellis Style: Select the Greenway® trellis for freestanding situations or the Somerset® trellis for wall-mounted applications.
Pick Frame Color: Choose from the 8 standard color options.
Select Cross-Clamp Type: Choose either hard anodized aluminum or stainless steel cross-clamps when choosing your trellis system.
Determine Size (Somerset® Only): The Somerset® trellis offers seven height options. Our kits range from 4 ft to 10 ft; in 1 ft increments. Measure the area you would like covered vertically and order the nearest larger size package. You can trim cables to exact size in the field.
Determine Quantities: Select the quantity of trellises needed. Multiple units can be combined to cover larger wall areas or expand a freestanding display.
Choose Accessories & Tools: Start by determining which bolts or screws you'll need to attach your brackets or frames to the wall or deck/patio surface. And, remember, if you want to surface mount the Greenway® trellis you'll need to order one Base Plate Kit for each trellis. If you'd like a different rod/cable spacing than we recommend, we sell rod & cross-clamp packages so you can add to your system. Stainless steel caps are another option to customize your trellis system; we offer three cap profiles. Cable Cutters are available for trimming the cables on the Somerset® trellis system. See Accessories & Tools page for all these optional items.
