Quick answer
Mount the Vego Modern Pro Privacy Wall Trellis in seconds using the included hardware. Choose your location, mark the drill points, level the brackets, and snap the trellis into place.
Before you start: choose the right location
The Vego Modern Pro Privacy Wall Trellis works best on a solid wall—brick, concrete, or wood—that gets enough light for the plants you plan to grow. Avoid areas with overhead obstructions like gutters or low eaves that could block the trellis height.
If you are mounting on a fence or wooden structure, check that the surface can support the weight of a fully grown climbing plant plus the trellis itself. The trellis is made of durable steel and aluminum, so it is sturdy but not load-bearing on its own.
Tools you will need
You probably already have most of these: a drill with a masonry bit (if mounting on brick or concrete), a spirit level, a pencil, a tape measure, and a screwdriver. The trellis comes with mounting brackets and screws, but you may need wall anchors for hollow drywall or plaster.
Step-by-step installation
- Step 1: Mark the bracket positions: Hold the trellis against the wall at your desired height. Use a spirit level to ensure it is straight, then mark the screw holes for the top and bottom brackets with a pencil. Check that the trellis is level before drilling; an uneven mount will be noticeable once plants grow.
- Step 2: Drill pilot holes: Using the correct drill bit for your wall type (masonry for brick/concrete, wood bit for timber), drill pilot holes at your marks. Insert wall anchors if needed. Drill slowly to avoid cracking the wall surface. If you hit a stud or solid brick, you can skip the anchors.
- Step 3: Attach the brackets: Screw the mounting brackets into the pilot holes using the provided screws. Tighten until the bracket is flush against the wall, but do not overtighten. Leave a tiny gap if your wall is uneven; you can shim the bracket later to keep the trellis straight.
- Step 4: Snap the trellis onto the brackets: Align the trellis with the installed brackets and press firmly until it clicks into place. Give it a gentle tug to confirm it is secure. If the trellis does not snap in easily, check that the brackets are aligned and not twisted.
- Step 5: Add plants and maintain: Train climbing plants onto the trellis immediately or leave it bare for a modern architectural look. No additional fastening is needed. Water and prune regularly to keep the foliage from overwhelming the trellis design.
