Planting the post                                                      Securing to the post  

Installing  Low pedestrian fence, Trellis and willow and bamboo edging border is simple, they can be made of wood, bamboo or willow
There are several options for installing your trellis and edging in the garden. Your can use metal posts, wooden stakes, metal rods, or plastic rods. Make user that whatever you choose is sunk 16 to 18 inches into the ground for and 8' trellis so that the trellis is secure, for shorter edging, 8 to 10 inches is fine.

Select the spot for your trellis or edging, taking consideration what you plan to grow on it and its visibility, after all you want to be seen and enjoyed.

Driving in the post
With a heavy hammer, drive one post or stake into the ground at the approximate point where one of the trellis upright or first leg of the edging will be. Hold one trellis or edging upright against the post you have just driven and mark the spot where the other touches the ground. Set the trellis or edging aside.

Where you marked the spot, drive the second post into the ground to apporoniamly the same depth as the first one. And repeat the same process if you need more than two stakes, like in the case of our 6' long edging.

Wiring the trellis or edging to the post
Position the trellis or the edging against the posts, with the trellis or edging uprights in the front of the posts. Find a spot 3" to 4" from the top of the post and wire the upright to the post at this point. Then firmly wire the bottom of that upright to the post 3" from the ground. You should now have one trellis or edging upright wired securely to one post.

Repeat the same process with the other post and upright, securely wiring the trellis or edging in place. Your trellis or edging is now installed, and you are ready to start growing plant on it .
