Last year, not one but two neighbors left their metal and canvas 'tent gazebos' up during the winter and they blew over. So they gave the panels (with broken, bent connectors) to me. I made a kid's fort out of one set, and with the other set, I screwed the panels to my raised beds and made trellises for my veggies.

Now here's a picture of what the same spot (with raised beds and free trellis) looks like today:

Great idea! Good thing you have neighbors who know that you could use them. It would have been a shame to just throw something like that out. They really look nice between your beds. Great stands for your birdhouses too!

Thanks! The trellises were covered with snow pea vines earlier in the spring/summer, but are all gone now.

Well, well, well, creative lil Katy!!!
How does your garden grow??
With recycled trellis parts, that's how!!
That is a wonderful idea! I like how you put them against the fence, kinda adds a little privacy from the neighbors. And the birdhouses just top them off....literally!
(I know... corny!)
Love them!
I think you're on a roll, here!!
