I have woods behind my house but without going very deep into them the only thing I can find to use are maples. I also have grape vine to use as decorations on them, i.e. hearts, circles.

I also have access to pine but I wouldn't think that would be good to use and the sap would be a mess.

I've found lots of designs but very little information on what types of branches to use (I don't think I can get willow or birch).

Thanks for any help you can give me.

The large trellis for my front entry didn't get built. Since my morning glories and clematis that I thought I needed it for are not growing well I guess that's okay. I haven't had time to persue the idea lately.

I did get branch trellises made for my snap peas and Mom's growing vines. I am not happy with the stability of either.

Having said that - I didn't have much luck finding actual plans on the internet. Here are websites where I did get a little info.

When things settle down here I intend to hit the library to see what I can find there. Good luck with yours.
