Cedar Garden Trellis Plans

These printable plans accompany the cedar garden trellis project — the same 48″ × 60″ cedar frame with a centered ½″ table-saw groove that captures black PVC-coated welded wire. Keep them in the workshop and build the same structure step by step.

What the Plans Include

• An exact 48″ × 60″ cut list — stiles, rails, optional top cap and battens, and the welded-wire mesh panel size, with quantities and notes for every part
• A full materials and tools list, from the 1×4 cedar boards and PVC-coated welded wire to staples, screws, washers, and exterior finish
• A ten-step assembly workflow that matches the build video, from rough-cutting the mesh to installing the finished trellis on a raised bed
• Custom-size formulas with a worked example, so the design scales to any size trellis
• Build tips and safety notes, plus a QR code that links to the step-by-step YouTube build

Before You Build

• Tools: a miter or chop saw for crosscuts and 45° miters, a table saw for the centered ½″ groove, a drill/driver, a stapler or screws with washers, wire cutters, and a random-orbit sander
• Prep: sand through 120 then 180 grit and finish with a UV exterior oil or spar urethane; pre-drill near the miter tips so the cedar doesn’t split
• Time: a one-afternoon project — the full guide estimates about three hours
• Safety: gloves for cutting the mesh (file the sharp ends), eye and ear protection, and push sticks at the table saw
