Chevron trellis

Step one
Lay one of the 912mm (50mm x 25mm) across the ends of two 2500mm (50mm x 50mm) pieces of timber to form a C-shape. Drill pilot holes to stop the ends of the wood splitting, then screw in place.

Step two
Measuring down 1960mm from the inner edge of the top bar, attach the other 912mm (50mm x 25mm) piece to the other 2500mm (50mm x 50mm) piece. Make sure that everything is flush and square.

Step four
For the chevron pieces, measure and cut 28 pieces of the 50mm x 25mm timber to 361mm with a matching 45-degree angle at each end. Use the first piece as a template for the rest.

Step five
Starting from the top, attach the first row of chevrons flush with the inner edge of the top bar. Drill pilot holes to stop the wood splitting, then screw in place. Repeat this process, forming six more rows, evenly spaced at 280mm all the way down to the bottom bar.

Step six
Wash the trellis with Resene Timber & Deckwash. Prime, then paint.
