Porch Trellis Ideas for Privacy and Gardening
Our porch trellis ideas will hopefully give you the impetus to try something new on your porch, deck, or patio.
You can easily use trellises in a variety of ways from gardening to offering a bit of privacy.
We also give you access to free DIY trellis plans!
Typically they are used in the garden or as part of arbors upon which to grow climbing plants. But they also work really well for creating
a private space or as a decorative addition to the outside of your home. They are perfect for small porches and balconies too.
Aesthetically Pleasing Triple Trellis Porch Idea
There are a few porch trellis ideas that Mary and I believe would be a great addition to your deck, patio, or porch - or all three!
Here's a few examples of various porch trellis ideas for you to consider. We've included affiliate links where appropriate to trellises and other products
for your convenience that we think you'd enjoy. Using the links may result in us receiving a sales commission.
Enjoy These Porch Trellis Ideas
Combine the best of both worlds and place an outdoor planter box with trellis on your porch. Not only can you grow climbing flowering plants but
also include herbs, beautiful annuals, ferns, and perhaps even a trailing sweet potato plant!
Lattice trellises also provide a space for hanging plants as well - an added bonus!
Porch trellis with planter
Box planters with trellises allow you to grow perfect flowers without the hassle of weeding or preventing most pests that plague outdoor gardens. And you
can add just the right soils for your plants for maximum growth and beauty.
Porch trellis planters vary in size and style.
The one shown below has a large planting area perfect for both flowers and vegetables. Select a style and size that fits your needs and available space.

It would be perfect for your climbing beauties like Clematis, Morning Glory, and Mandevilla plants.
And it won't break or crack like wood trellises.
All you need to do is place your potted plant beneath it and enjoy!

Outdoor Plant Pots with Trellis Options
Pot trellises add additional functionality in that they take up less space and are somewhat more portable.
They also expand the types of plants you can grow. In lieu of petunias, now you can climbers like Mandevilla or even grow green beans if you'd like!
Porch Trellis For Potted Plants

columns to wrap the twine around it.
