A self-made garden support for clematis is an element that is simply necessary for the competent organization of landscape design. This design helps beautiful curly flowers to grow in the right direction, thereby giving a unique decorative effect to your suburban area. Many designers actively use these elements in their designs, however, if you wish, you can make interesting designs on your own, at home.
The support for clematis, made by yourself, can be of several types. The most common arched structures, pyramids and fan shapes. It should be noted that clematis, for the most part, is a vine, so you should take care of creating a support for it in advance, even before planting. When choosing a design, it should be borne in mind that it must be strong, securely fixed, and the material from which it is made should not have a diameter of more than one and a half centimeters.
Decorating the garden with your own hands is a very exciting activity, however, for the proper organization of the site, some nuances should be taken into account. One of the best forms for supports is considered an arch. Most often, it is made of metal rods. Such a self-made support for clematis looks great at the beginning of the garden path. An arch entwined with flowers, as if inviting visitors to enter the garden and relax in the shade of trees.
The trellis support, entwined with blooming clematis, will be a magnificent element of decorating the garden with your own hands (photos of such supports can be seen in many floriculture magazines). Such designs look great near the gazebo or at home. The easiest way - this is a support from a rope tied to a peg. It is stretched from the ground to the roof of the veranda or country house.
Such a simple support for clematis, made by hand on fruit trees, looks very good: for this, the rope should be twisted around the trunk. Beautiful flowers will evenly coat apple, pear or cherry, giving the garden a unique and elegant look.
Another interesting design is a tripod made of willow twigs or reeds. You can make it in the form of a lattice. This support is very stable and provides constant free support for flowers.
You can plant clematis not in the ground, but in a special pot in which the support is installed. Such flowerpots can be placed around the perimeter of the site or in secluded corners of the garden.
A good support for abundantly flowering plants is obtained from a metal mesh-netting. For this, it is necessary to pull coarse-grained material between the support legs, which should be firmly fixed in the ground. From this material, one can make an equally interesting support in the form of a cylinder. A climbing plant will surround the surface of the structure, and its middle will remain empty.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated in the manufacture of supports for flowering plants. You will need only a little imagination and patience, after which your garden will become bright and unique.
