The Folding Lattice 3 Panel (Set of Two) in Rusty Finish is a stylish and practical addition to the garden, combining a decorative touch with functionality. The rusty finish has a naturally aged appearance, offering a warm, earthy tone that complements the soft textures and colours of surrounding plants. Over time, the finish mellows further, blending harmoniously with the natural patina of the garden.
This piece serves as an excellent alternative to a traditional obelisk for supporting climbing plants. Positioned in a garden bed, it provides vertical interest while helping plants grow upward, creating a sense of height and structure. In a border, the lattice acts as a subtle yet striking feature, particularly when surrounded by flowering plants that spill over its edges, softening its lines and enriching its rustic appeal.
Climbing plants thrive on this lattice, weaving their way up the metal framework. Clematis, with its delicate flowers, can add a touch of elegance, while sweet peas bring a cascade of vibrant colour and fragrance. For a more traditional look, roses can twine beautifully around the panels, their blooms contrasting with the rusty tones of the lattice. Other options include morning glory or jasmine, whose lush growth and fragrant flowers enhance its charm. The combination of these plants with the weathered finish creates a timeless and inviting feature in the garden.

- Minimal environmental impact: EDP plating has minimal to no environmental impact. The coating material is not easily flammable.
- Corrosion resistance: EDP coating helps prevent metal parts from rusting and degrading.
- Smooth surface: EDP plating can produce a smooth surface with a uniform thickness.
