By Size
Selecting the right height is key when choosing trellis fence panels, whether you’re edging beds, zoning spaces or adding privacy to existing fencing. For subtle structure at low level, our 2ft trellis options are ideal along paths or in front of borders, while 3ft trellis add a little extra height without blocking views across the garden. Mid‑height solutions are a great choice when you want more definition between areas. Explore 4ft trellis to divide terraces from lawns or to give climbers a good starting point, or choose versatile 5ft trellis where you need a balance between privacy and light.
For full‑height garden privacy screening, our high‑performing 6ft trellis range is the most popular choice. Within this, you can refine by material, such as practical 6ft wooden trellis, which works well for traditional fencing and cottage‑style planting schemes. Where extra height is needed, for example in overlooked gardens or along raised terraces, explore our taller 8ft trellis. These options help maximise privacy while still allowing you to train climbers for a greener finish. Browsing by height makes it easier to compare different styles of screening panels and trellis fencing side by side, so you can match coverage levels to your garden’s layout and the amount of light you want to keep.
By Material
Choosing fence trellis topper by material helps you balance appearance, maintenance and durability. For a warm, natural look that blends easily with planting, our popular bamboo screening is a versatile choice for covering fences, walls and railings. You can also browse for different heights and densities, or opt for soft, rustic textures in our willow garden screening. If you want a lighter‑weight, flexible option for disguising boundaries, explore our reed screening, which is ideal for temporary or seasonal use. For long‑term performance with minimal upkeep, look at our composite trellis, designed to resist weathering and reduce the need for regular maintenance compared with untreated timber.
Traditionalists may prefer the character of timber. The wooden garden trellis range works well for classic climbing plants and cottage‑style borders, allowing you to paint, stain or treat panels to suit your scheme. For a contemporary, architectural feel, browse our strong, low‑maintenance metal trellis, or choose lightweight, easy‑care plastic trellis where weight or handling is a concern. If you like the look of timber but want a softer tone, our natural bamboo screening delivers understated colour that sits comfortably alongside planting and decking. Filtering by material in this way makes it easy to compare natural, composite, plastic and metal garden screens, so you can select the best finish for your fence panels, patios or seating areas.

For a soft, timeless look that sits neatly in most gardens, start with our natural‑tone trellis & screening, which includes warm wood and subtle neutral shades.

Where you want your screening to blend into greenery, explore our foliage‑friendly green trellis and screens.

FAQs
What height trellis is best for garden privacy?
A 6ft trellis panel is commonly chosen for garden privacy because it provides strong screening without blocking too much natural light. It works well on top of an existing fence or as a standalone panel for growing tall climbing plants. If your garden is overlooked or sits next to raised ground, opting for an 8ft panel may help increase coverage. Smaller heights like 2ft or 3ft are ideal for edging but won’t deliver meaningful privacy on their own.
Is bamboo screening better than reed screening?
Bamboo screening generally offers greater strength and durability than reed screening because it uses thicker, rounded canes. This makes it more suitable for long‑term use along fences and boundary areas, where you want better resistance to wind exposure and weathering. Reed is lighter, more flexible and easier to shape, so it suits temporary setups or softer decorative projects. Both create a natural look, but bamboo is usually the better option when you need lasting privacy and a sturdier finish.
Can I attach trellis panels to an existing fence?
Yes, you can attach trellis panels to most existing fences to add height, increase privacy or support climbing plants. Use strong brackets or timber battens to secure the trellis evenly across the fence, making sure the fence posts are in good condition and capable of supporting the extra weight. This method is commonly used to create decorative tops or extend the height of lower boundaries. Just ensure you stay within local height guidelines and maintain good neighbour relationships.
Do I need planning permission to add trellis on top of my fence?
Planning permission is usually not required if the combined height of the fence and trellis does not exceed the common limit of around two metres, but rules vary by area. If your property borders a public highway, higher limits may apply. It’s always best to check local authority guidance before installing taller screening. Confirm boundary ownership and speak with neighbours if you’re unsure, as adding height to a shared or dividing fence can sometimes cause disputes without prior agreement.
What type of trellis is best for climbing plants?
Climbing plants generally perform best on trellis panels with a clear, sturdy grid that provides reliable points for tying in or twining. A wooden trellis panel is a traditional favourite for roses, clematis and jasmine, offering a natural look that blends into planting. Metal trellis panels suit heavier or more vigorous climbers because it offers strong, long‑lasting support. An obelisk is great for vertical accents in borders or containers, helping create height and structure even in small garden spaces.
How long does garden screening last outdoors?
Garden screening can last several years depending on the material, exposure and level of maintenance. Bamboo, willow and reed typically last two to five years, with longevity improving in sheltered areas. Composite and metal options offer much longer lifespans, often requiring little upkeep beyond occasional cleaning. Wood can last many years if treated and maintained regularly. Whichever material you choose, correct installation and secure fixing help extend durability, especially in wind‑exposed gardens.
