What it is Filled
A framework of light wooden, metal or plastic strips crossed in a lattice, used in gardens and on buildings to support climbing plants, to screen or divide spaces, and as decorative treillage in formal garden design, and in modern forms as green walls or biowalls where plants grow on vertical supports; trellises are simple garden structures with a long history in horticulture and architecture.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain trellises and their forms and uses, support choosing, building and planting a trellis, describe treillage and green wall traditions, and support garden design questions.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Lattice
- Plant support
- Lightweight
- Decorative use
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Fix a trellis to a wall, fence or structure the agent's principal does not own.
- Leave a trellis overloaded by heavy climbers where it can fall onto people.
- Treat a trellis with preservatives that harm nearby food plants or pets.
- Present a garden trellis as a safe climbing frame or barrier for children.
Only with a human decision
- Removing an established climber with its trellis from a shared boundary.
May
- Install, repair and tie plants to a trellis with the owner's agreement.
- Inspect a trellis for rot, loose fixings or overloading.
Moral aspects Filled
- Trellises on boundaries and walls can cause disputes between neighbours.
- Climbers on trellises shelter birds and insects that deserve care when pruning.
Who is affected
- Gardeners and owners
- Neighbours
- Wildlife in the climbers
Owners Filled
Steward
The person who owns the garden or building it is fixed to.
