How did you learn to build arches? You probably learned what length of sticks and support beams you would need to make a specific sized arch bridge. Then when you practiced you built your first arch trellis.
Trellis is the structures which support plants that grow vertically, like vines. An arch trellis is a specific type of support structure used to train plants such as vegetables to grow over an archway or doorway. This article will provide you with instructions on how to build an arch trellis using common materials.
How to build a arch trellis
This arch trellis is made of a cattle panel. The cattle panel is a kind of metal mesh with a grid size of 1 inch x 2 inches. It is often used for fences or as a cheap alternative to wood.
In this tutorial, I will show you how to build an arch garden trellis using cattle panels. This is a simple project that can be completed in just a few hours. If you want to make it more sturdy, you can add more cattle panels on each side.
Materials needed:
Cattle Panel (x2)
14/2-gauge wire (x1)
A garden arch trellis can be a very useful addition to your garden. They are not only great for climbing plants, but they also provide excellent support for other types of plants.
They can be used to create an attractive focal point in the garden or as a way of dividing up areas.
Here are some tips on building an arch trellis:
Use cattle panel for your arch trellis
Cattle panel is strong and durable, so it will last for many years without any problems. It’s also easy to work with and relatively cheap, so you won’t need to spend a lot of money on tools or materials. Just cut it with a hacksaw, drill some holes and then screw it together using galvanized screws that are at least ¾” long. You should use galvanized screws because they will not rust when they come into contact with water and moisture – this is especially important if you live in an area where there is lots of rain throughout the year.
Wire works well as an arch trellis too
Wire is another material that can be used when building an arch trellis. Wire comes in many different thicknesses, but I recommend using 18 gauge galvanized wire (or thicker).
There are many ways to build a basic arch trellis. Here are some of the most popular:
1. Cattle panels
Cattle panels are a great choice for building an arch trellis because they’re cheap and easy to find at any home improvement store. They’re also very strong and durable, making them perfect for supporting heavy vines like grapes or kiwi. The downside of cattle panels is that they’re not very attractive and you usually have to attach them together before you can use them as an arch trellis.
2. Wire fencing
Wire fencing is another affordable option for building an arch trellis. You can either buy new fencing or find used fencing at yard sales or on Craigslist. If you’re lucky enough to live in an area where people raise livestock, check with local farmers for used wire fencing after they’ve moved their cows out of their barns at the end of winter!
3. Hanging chain link fence panels
If you don’t want to spend money on new materials, try using hanging chain link fence panels instead! Chain link fences are generally made from galvanized steel wire that has been twisted into circles and welded together into a mesh pattern
Step 1: Cut your cattle panel into 3 pieces. You’ll need 2 long pieces that are the same length and one short piece that is half the length of the long pieces.
Step 2: Attach a bolt to one end of each of the long pieces using a nut and washer. Make sure this is on the inside edge of each piece so it’s not visible when installed.
Step 3: Attach one of the short pieces to each side of your archway with carriage bolts and nuts, making sure that they’re on the inside edge of each panel as well.
Step 4: Attach your wire to one end of each of the remaining long panels using wire ties or zip ties. You can also use screws if you have some handy!
Step 5: Attach all 3 panels together using more wire ties or zip ties at both ends to create an arch shape (make sure they’re tight!), then attach this entire structure to your fence or wall using more screws (or whatever method works best for you).

Cattle panel arch trellis diy
A cattle panel arch trellis is a great way to add some character and interest to your garden. They are fairly easy to make and will last for years. The best thing about this particular design is that you can use it for so many things. Not only does it look great in the garden, but it can be used as a trellis for vines or plants, as a pergola or even as an arbor. These are all great ways to use your cattle panels.
The first thing that you need to do is decide what kind of cattle panels you want to use. You can buy them at any home improvement store or even online if you have trouble finding them locally. The size of the cattle panels will depend on how big you want your arch trellis to be.
If you want something large enough for two people to sit under then choose larger cattle panels like these ones:
These are 36 inch wide by 48 inch long panels so they will give you plenty of room for sitting underneath the arch trellis while still giving your plants plenty of room to grow up through the top bars of the arch trellis itself (which we will talk more about later).
