The 1.83M x 0.45M Traditional Square Trellis Panel - Pressure Treated Brown is a medium-depth topper for fence lines and low garden structures, measuring 1.83m wide by 0.45m high. Its approximate 100mm square openings create a classic, open lattice that is well suited to climbing plants and decorative boundary work where daylight and airflow are more important than close privacy screening.
We manufacture this traditional square trellis at East Coast Fencing from pressure-treated 16 x 38mm rough sawn trellis batten. At 450mm high, it provides more planting area and visual detail than the 300mm version while remaining compact enough for topping fencing, edging raised structures or adding an open section above a low boundary. Rough sawn timber has a visibly textured surface, so natural knots, grain, saw marks and small variations are part of the product rather than a smooth planed finish.
The 450mm height provides a middle ground between a narrow decorative topper and a deeper 600mm panel. It is particularly useful where the trellis needs enough depth to look intentional from both sides of the boundary but should not dominate the fence below. Consider the mature height of the plants as well as the timber size when deciding whether this is sufficient.
The brown pressure treatment gives the timber a darker, warmer appearance that sits naturally alongside brown-treated fencing. Pressure treatment is applied for exterior use and improves the timber’s resistance to decay compared with untreated wood; the colour will still weather and vary naturally outdoors.
The larger squares give stems room to pass through and make tying or training climbers straightforward. They also mean the panel remains visually open when plants are sparse or dormant. If you specifically want tighter screening, compare it with our privacy square trellis, which uses a closer square pattern.
When using this size above a fence, fix it back to sound posts or suitable framing and use exterior-grade fixings for treated timber. Check the finished height before installation and make sure the existing fence is capable of carrying the additional panel. Other topper sizes can be compared in our fence topper trellis range.
