If you have a blank wall on your patio or porch, I have a great solution for you. This easy DIY modern trellis adds both art and a place for plants to grow. Here’s how to do it using cedar fence posts and boards.
Using a Table saw, we cut down the fence boards into 1" pieces and the posts into 2" x 2" pieces.
Our frame dimensions were 3' x 5'. We cut the cedar 2x2 boards into 2 5' lengths and the top and bottom to 32" to form the 3x5 rectangle. We used pocket holes and wood glue to attach the frame pieces.
Screw the pieces together with pocket hole screws. We used extra long clamps to hold the pieces together. Nice to do, but not completely needed.
Attach a cedar 2x2 in the middle using pocket holes again. Our center support was 56".
Next, we took the 1" Cedar pieces and created a center diamond pattern. All of pieces were cut at 45" degree angles to they formed the diamond. It is okay if you pieces don't line up on the edges, we will fix that in a later step. Secure all pieces with a nail gun and trim nails.
We spaced ours 6" apart.
Because the center diamond did not have the frame edges to support it, we reinforced the corners with brackets. It make it more secure.
For the centerpiece, we used two right triangles cut from cedar boards to form the diamond. Maintaining the 6" spacing between diamonds.
Use a jig saw to clean up the edges of the frame. This saved us so much time and measuring.
I used a spray gun and black stain to finish the piece. Any color paint or stain could work. Could also paint or stain your pieces before assembling if you don't have a sprayer
We added some hanging pots and vines to our trellis. I can't wait to see it fill in.

This easy table modification all started because we live in cow country and where you have cows, you have flies. They drive me crazy in the summer so I am always looking for ways to deter them. The other day I was at OSH and the sales lady said that most herbs are a natural fly repellent. That got me thinking and this project was born. Now the jury is still out if this works on the flies but I love the end results anyway.
