Learn More About Trellis Systems
Stunning architectural elements that combine beauty with structural integrity
What Are Trellis Systems?
Our trellis systems are custom-built architectural features that sit atop gates and fences, creating an elegant entrance while providing crucial structural support. Built with premium materials and attention to detail, they transform ordinary gates into stunning focal points.
Trellis systems not only look great, but are highly recommended above gates. They make your gate look inviting while adding critical structure to the gate posts. With horizontal framing above the gate, it basically ensures that the gate's fence posts will almost never move, making sure your gate will never have issues.

Structural Benefits for Gates
Post Stabilization
The horizontal framing connects gate posts together, preventing them from moving or twisting over time. This virtually eliminates common gate problems like sagging or misalignment.
Long-Term Performance
By locking gate posts in place, trellis systems ensure your gate operates smoothly for years to come. No more adjusting latches or dealing with gates that won't close properly.
Visual Appeal
Beyond structural benefits, trellis systems create an inviting entrance that elevates your entire fence design. They transform a simple gate into an architectural feature.
