HOW TO MAKE A DIAMOND PATTERNED TRELLIS VINE WALL

By Diana Elizabeth, dianaelizabethblog.com

Determine your diamond pattern size

1

Measure the wall width and divide by the numbered diamonds you would like.

TIP: Do not go smaller than 22" wide. What is shown in these next slides is 46" wide.

What you need

2

1. Plug anchors 2. Anchor eye screws 3. Floral wire to string through the eye screws - green preferred 4. Drill + drill bit 5. Hammer

Arrow

Mark drill holes

3

Tape a string to assist with marking the top, middle, and center of diamond. Use chalk to mock up size.

TIP: When satisfied, drill diamond points and hammer wall plugs.

Prep plants

4

Untangle each plant’s vines and wrap it around the wire going up on both sides - I love star jasmine, it does not stick to walls yet is trainable.

Clip vines

5

Once planted, clip the vines that are growing the wrong way (toward you). It will allow the plant to put more energy to grow taller.

All done! 

6

Water well, fertilize, and allow vines to overlap. Occasionally trim when necessary.

This is my more complex jasmine vine wall - spaced at 22" wide.
