This is an instructable of repurpose used iron fences as garden trellis.
The reason I did this was a few iron fences laying around after putting up new fences. I set it up beside the car porch.

- Firstly, I lay out the bricks as a foundation for the fences. (The fences is made from iron. If I put it directly on the ground, it will rust)
- I position the three fences side by side (not exactly 90 degree angle but 45 degree).
- Then, I tie the fences with the nylon string.
- The forth fence I lift it up and position it on the top of the three fences.
- I secure the upper fence with the first and the second fence.
- The number 1, 2, and 3 fences will support and display climbing plants.
- The forth fence will be used to hang planters.
The Lumber

- I position the lumber at the lower level.
- The lumber will acts as a shelf for plant nursery.
