Continuing on with our goal of one structure piece in every garden we came up with something different than a bench. If you need a simple DIY bench you can find a tutorial here. Or you can find a DIY Rustic Headboard Bench here. This time we made a pyramid trellis.
We found directions for this trellis on the Birds and Blooms website and took their plans and altered them to fit our needs. You can download the directions at Birds and Blooms here. I will walk you through how we built our trellis.
First we took these old fence posts
and turned them into these:
Recycling at it’s finest!
We made our basic pyramid with 4 of the 2×2 boards.
We added the side slats.
Next came the longer side slats.
Here is a picture of all the side slats put on.
Add your fence post cap. I forgot to take a picture. 🙁
And here is the finished trellis.
And here is a picture of the trellis in it’s new home. Now all we need to do is transplant the vine we already have. We have a hot spell coming so we want to wait until it’s cooler. This project cost us nothing since we had everything already. I LOVE when that happens!

I love this. I am going to try to talk D into making one of these for our yard. Thanks so much for sharing on Tout It Tuesday! Hope to see you tomorrow.
how do you keep it from blowing over in a wind storm?
You are just so clever. I'll show it to my carpenter and see if I can get one too.~ ~Ahrisha~ ~
Love this! Pinning. You have a super handy guy there:)
This is great! What do you plan on planting?
This looks really sturdy – like it would last through all the snow and rain I get. I've got this on my to do list.
Karen, I made that a couple years ago and we have not moved it since we put it there and it's holing up great!!! So glad you liked it! Thanks for stopping by. Barb
