Bespoke Hardwood Trellis.
The clients requested that I build them some strong trellis to finish off a wall they were having built to secure their parking area in Chelsea. They specifically wanted Ipè for its strength and durability as I'd built them a balcony deck some years previously.
Each piece of timber for this project had to be individually sized, planed, and sanded from available stock boards.
