Can I build a custom-size trellis from loose trellis battens?

Quick Answer

Yes. Our loose trellis battens are 1.83m long with a 38 x 16mm section and are intended for bespoke lattice as well as repairs. They can be cut and arranged to create a pattern that suits a non-standard opening.

Yes. Our loose trellis battens are specifically supplied for bespoke lattice work as well as repairs to existing trellis.

The 1.83m x 38 x 16mm Trellis Batten provides a slim pressure-treated timber component that can be cut and arranged vertically, horizontally or in a crossed pattern according to the trellis being built.

This is useful where a standard ready-made trellis panel does not match the available opening. Instead of cutting down a complete panel, the lattice can be built around the required finished dimensions and spacing.

The 38 x 16mm section is intentionally much lighter than a full fence rail. It forms the repeated pieces within a supported trellis design rather than acting as the main fence post or heavy structural rail.

If a standard panel size already suits the project, complete trellis panels avoid fabricating the lattice individually. Loose battens are the more flexible option where the size, layout or repair needs to be made around an existing opening.
