Rustic Garden Arbor & Trellis
Prune small limbs and saplings up to ~8 in diameter to build a natural arbor or trellis. Use the telescoping reach to harvest straight, high branches, then lash them into arches and lattices. Finish by sanding cut ends and applying outdoor sealant for a long-lasting, organic garden structure.
