This is really helpful given it was such an open question!
I'll try and get some pics up. But there are effectively 3 "sections" or areas.
- Low wall with brick "pillars" where small trellis will sit on top and in between the pillars.
- Three panels of tall oblong trellis to hide and visually break up a neighbours fence panels. This will be attached to a taller ~150cm wall and go above the height.
- A 90cm (probably) trellis that will straddle the top ¼ of a ~2m wall in an alleyway.
It's going to be tricky to make it all look cohesive. But the alley gets a real wind whipping down it when we get wind, so it has to be fixed really well. Plus you can't really see the alley that well from outside, so there's a bit of scope.

What's it mounted on? If it's between posts then it's useful to have a couple of clamps with heads small enough to go through the gaps in the trellis. Then you can line them up more easily. You nearly always have to shorten one trellis panel, it's easy enough, you just pull the staples out and then staple once you've cut it.
If you are mounting posts on top of a wall use 10mm threaded rod epoxied into the post and wall with an electrical grommet to separate the base of the post from the top of the wall. Then you can bend the rod to align the posts as you go along.
