Rustic Trellis to Shade Door or Window
Rustic Trellises are Easily Constructed and When Covered with Vines Add to the Attractiveness of the Home
Proper preparation in the early spring will make it possible for the householder to shade doors and windows from the hot summer’s sun by means of inexpensive rustic trellises that add not a little to the beauty of the home. A suggestion for a trellis at a doorway and one for a window are shown in the illustration. They are made of straight tree trunks and small limbs, having the bark on them. The curved portions of the window trellis may be made easily by using twigs that are somewhat green. Morning-glories, or other suitable climbing plants, may be trained over the trellises.—J. G.
