Using Lattice on Agriframes Structures: A Flexible Growing Solution

Adding lattice to your Agriframes Classic structure is a simple but highly effective way to support your plants and maximise their impact. Easy to attach, flexible to use, and just as easy to remove, lattice offers the perfect balance of practicality and style.

These optional extras are a simple but effective way to encourage growth, train plants neatly, and achieve a more decorative finish. 

Here’s how lattice can transform the way you use your Agriframes structures:

What Is Lattice?

Lattice is a lightweight trellis panel designed with an open criss-cross pattern, perfect for giving climbing plants something to grip onto as they grow. At Agriframes, our lattice is the same design as the Lattice Trellis but when used on Classic structures it’s attached with strong, discreet cable ties.

This clever fixing method means it stays secure throughout the growing season but can be easily removed for cleaning, plant care, or end-of-season maintenance.

Why Add Lattice to Garden Structures?

While Agriframes structures are built to support climbers, adding lattice offers several extra benefits:

• Better Plant Training - Young shoots and tendrils can be easily guided onto the lattice, helping them climb neatly and evenly across the structure.
  
• Versatility - Suitable for everything from roses and clematis to sweet peas and annual climbers.
  
• Improved Coverage - The additional framework allows plants to establish more quickly, covering the structure beautifully.
  
• Removable for Maintenance - Cable ties make it simple to detach the lattice when pruning or giving your structure a clean.

Where Can Lattice Be Used?

Lattice is available as an optional extra on all Classic Agriframes structures, including:

• Garden Arches - Perfect for encouraging even coverage on both sides of the arch.
  
• Pergolas - Use lattice panels to train climbers overhead or along the sides for shaded walkways.
  
• Gazebos - Create walls of greenery by attaching lattice around the frame.
  
• Obelisks - Lattice provides additional anchoring points for annual climbers and lightweight plants.
  

By adding lattice, you can turn a simple framework into a lush, fully covered feature that becomes a focal point in your garden.

Flexible, Practical, and Stylish

Because the lattice is fixed with cable ties, you’re not committing to a permanent alteration of your structure. You can adjust or remove it as needed, depending on your planting scheme. This flexibility is particularly useful if you like to change your displays each year — for example, growing sweet peas one season and climbing beans the next.

The lattice also makes end-of-season care much easier. Simply detach the panels to prune back growth or wash down your structure, then reattach them ready for the next growing cycle.

Recommended for Best Results

While lattice is an optional extra, we recommend it for gardeners who want the best possible results from their climbing plants. It makes training easier, encourages quicker coverage, and enhances the overall look of your garden arch, pergola, or gazebo.
