DIY jasmine trellis *upgrading our home* | MaCenna Lee

MaCenna successfully installed a wire trellis on her garage to support climbing jasmine, though the project required unexpected amounts of complex math, planning, and physical labor.

• Pattern design — Creating the diamond layout required over an hour of calculation to ensure the wire structure was symmetrical and looked correct on the garage wall [11:02].

• Installation help — Drilling into the stucco proved physically exhausting, so she eventually asked her partner to drill the remaining holes while she focused on the wire [18:23].

• Planting location — She decided to plant the jasmine directly in the ground rather than in a container, opting to use the existing sprinkler system to avoid manual watering [09:14].

• Sunlight issues — Because overhanging trees currently shade the garage area, she is researching outdoor-rated grow lights as a temporary solution until the seasons change and the sun angle shifts [22:29].

• How much can the star jasmine plant grow in a single year once it is established?

• Why did the creator decide against using a terracotta pot for the trellis project?
