DIY DIAMOND TRELLIS 🌿🌼 The perfect addition to an exterior wall & the jasmine smells heavenly! Here are some helpful tips to create your own: 1. Gather Materials: You’ll need 3” eye hooks, 1/16th galvanized steel wire rope (about 150 ft for a medium-sized trellis), & basic tools like a drill, pliers, and wire cutters. 2. Plan Layout: Mark a rectangular area on your wall (e.g., 6’ tall x 8’ wide). Decide on a diamond pattern by spacing eye hooks evenly along the top, bottom, and sides. 3. Install Eye Hooks: Drill holes at your marked points, insert wall anchors, and screw in the eye hooks. For brick, use a masonry bit and anchors; tighten hooks with a drill bit for leverage. 4. String Wire: Start at one corner hook, thread the wire through, and secure it with a ferrule (crimp with pliers). Run the wire diagonally across to the opposite side, threading through hooks to form a diamond pattern. Pull tight, secure with ferrules at each hook, and repeat for the crisscross design. 5. Plant Vines: Plant climbing vines like star jasmine at the base, guiding them onto the wire as they grow! #gardenproject #gardeninspiration
