There is no legal difference between trellis and fencing. So – in theory – the height of your trellis must be no more than 2 metres.

You can buy a trellis or make your own, but be sure that it is sturdy enough to stand up to wind and the weight of plants growing on it. What is this? You should probably limit the height of a wall trellis to 6 feet or so, since it will be difficult to harvest anything above 6 feet up without a ladder.

The maximum height legislation for fencing is always inclusive of the trellis. In other words, if the maximum height for any boundary fence or garden walls is 2 metres, then the wall and the trellis must be a maximum of 2 metres in total.

2. Climbing Hydrangea (Only on a largeish and sturdy trellis, and you should be prepared to prune it regularly.)
3. Nasturtium varieties.
