- 1). Place your 1-inch-by-10-inch-by-6-foot long board with the 10-inch face flat against your workbench. Mark a T (for top) on the top of the board and the mark the opposite end B (for bottom) with a pencil.
- 2). Use your measuring tape to measure 6 inches down from the top of the board and mark that measurement on both of the 1-inch sides with a pencil.
- 3). Place a 5/16-inch drill bit in your drill. Put on safety glasses. Drill a centered hole through the left 1-inch side through to the opposite 1-inch side with the drill.
- 4). Use your measuring tape to measure 12-inches up from the bottom of the board and mark that measurement across the 10-inch face of the board with a pencil.
- 5). Mark 19 evenly spaced lines from the 12-inch marking at the bottom of the board to the top of the board, approximately 1/2 inch apart. Use a table saw to cut along those lines creating the 20 vertical arms of climbing rose trellis.
- 6). Thread and center a 5/16-inch-by-3-foot dowel in the 5/16-inch hole. Secure the center arms to the dowel, approximately 1-inch apart, by hammering a 3/4-inch brad through the arms into the dowel.
- 7). Spread slowly and secure the left-hand side arms approximately 1 inch apart along the dowel with additional 3/4-inch brads. Repeat the spreading and securing process on the right-hand side arms.
- 8). Reinforce the rose trellis vertical arm placement by placing a small amount of wood glue along each connection with the dowel. Allow the wood glue to dry for four hours.
- 9). Spray the trellis with two coats of outdoor acrylic paint. Allow the paint to dry for 24 hours.
