Why We Only Use Steel Trellises In Houston Gardens
If you’ve lived in Houston for more than 12.5 minutes you know the weather is insane.
Sure, it’s tempting to skimp on trellises and find cheaper options or even cute, wooden designs - but it will cost you in the long-run.
Monarch’s Steel Trellises:
Are very sturdy. These tough trellises stayed standing through 80+ mph wind gusts. My garden is on the east side of our yard. The winds were coming hardest from the East and South during Hurricane Beryl (almost no protection for my garden from the winds) and they did not budge. A tree fell down right by my garden, but the trellises - they stood tall!
Last a decade (at least). Because they are made of heavy-duty steel, our trellises do not rot or break. Our trellises are one-piece solid steel (no kits) so they are incredibly sturdy. Remember: if you use wooden trellises in H-town, they will rot quickly. We water gardens a lot due to the heat. This means wooden trellises will deteriorate quickly!
Protect your plants. Want to know the worst thing about a trellis blowing over during a storm? Losing all the plants attached to it! If your trellis falls - it almost always rips the plants attached to it out of the ground. Plants you waited three months to harvest might go bye-bye before you ever got that cucumber or tomato!
Are easy to touch up. Right after a freeze when my trellises are bare, it’s easy to give them a quick touchup with paint.
