If you’re preparing to purchase or build your own garden trellis, consider allowing your plants to vine up an old screen door.

The repurposed, screen door is already treated for the outdoors  so you don’t have to do anything to prepare this project for use.  You might consider removing the hinges and fastening the top somehow to avoid the whole enterprise toppling over with a frisky dog and cat chase.
