My wife (the gardener) asked me to make a trellis so she could grow some clematis on this north facing wall.  I found a similar design in a book at the library and decided it would look best if they were different heights.  By making them 6, 8, 10, and 12 ft. tall and spacing them properly, their rise follows that of the roof line.  Later addition of an air exchanger and gas fireplace have forced us to remove sections of the lattice, but, they still have a nice line and receive many compliments.  They are constructed out of 1x2 cedar primed and painted the same off-white as the house trim.  They are bolted to the wall and plastic pipe spacers hold them 2” out from the siding.
