Benefits of artificial expandable plant trellis
Artificial plants, including expandable trellis, are hardwearing, long-lasting and require little to no maintenance to keep them looking at their best for years to come. UV Treated outdoor artificial plants are accompanied with warranties of up to five years, ensuring they last in the sometimes harsh Australian weather conditions.
Installed correctly, an artificial trellis can provide a degree of privacy to an area that you would like to keep prying eyes away from. This is great for pool areas or courtyards and balconies that have neighbours close by.
With artificial greenery, no green thumb is required. No watering, no trimming and even in the shadiest or sunniest areas, your expandable trellis green wall will stay in tip-top shape for years with just a light hosing or wiping off when they need a little dusting.
No stray leaves falling means even the neighbours appreciate your new green wall being artificial!

By installing an artificial expandable trellis, you can increase the privacy in your area and quite literally give your chosen space a completely new look.
