Elite Diamond Trellis Garden Screening – 183 x 60cm

This diamond trellis panel from the Elite Alderley range measures a generous 183cm wide by 60cm tall, making it a practical choice for topping a solid fence to add height and privacy without completely blocking light or airflow. The classic diamond pattern features approximately 40mm openings, which works beautifully as a support for climbing plants like roses, clematis or honeysuckle, while still giving your garden a neat, structured look.

The construction quality here is noticeably above the ordinary. The laths are smooth-planed with chamfered edges, giving the panel a clean, refined finish rather than the rough appearance you often find at this price point. The perimeter frame is built from 30mm x 30mm timber joined with bridle joins, and the frame itself is rebated so the trellis sits snugly within it rather than simply being nailed on top — a small detail that makes a real difference to both the look and the longevity of the panel.

All the timber is pressure treated with Tanalith E, which offers solid protection against rot and decay without you needing to do anything straight away. You may notice a slight green tint when the panel first arrives, but this fades naturally as the wood weathers. It's worth holding off on any painting or staining for six to eight weeks to let the treatment fully cure first — after that, it'll take colour well if you want to match it to existing fencing or garden woodwork.
