Why Copper?

We are frequently asked, "Why Copper?"

The reasons are many. The market is saturated with garden structures and furniture made of wood, plastic, steel, iron, chrome, etc. Copper designs are unique. This beautiful metal has been used for centuries in home decor as accessories and kitchen ware and in home construction as roofing, gutters and plumbing -- proving its durability.  

Copper makes even more sense outdoors. Whereas wood will weather and crack, and plastic becomes brittle, copper ages to a beautiful green verdigris patina (just like the Statue of Liberty!). The green patina is not like rust on steel, but acts to protect  the copper while adding a feeling of quality and antiquity to its' surroundings. City air oxidizes copper more quickly, while the purer county air lets copper take its time going through the patina process. No two pieces evolve alike. The beauty, strength and durability of copper make it the perfect choice for patio and garden furniture, window boxes and yard art. Copper is also used to repel slugs from plants, an added benefit to using one of our products in your landscape.

Our Trellis brackets were designed by a NASA space shuttle engineer.

A couple years ago we were welding our trellis brackets to our trellis', (just like everyone else)  this would cause breakage and bending during shipping along with stacking problems in the warehouse, the trellis' would get tangled together and the brackets would interlock causing a real mess. Upon discussion of this problem with Archie McMannen  a honest to goodness NASA engineer he came up with some novel solutions to our problem.

Archie solved all our mounting & shipping concerns with a simple interlocking design.

1. A 1/2 " x 1"  bracket holder is welded to the back of the trellis wherever an attachment point is needed.  This looks like

2. The short end of the bracket slides into the above receptacle and keeps the trellis horizontally and vertically stable once the opposite end is screwed into the wall.    

3. This design allows for not only extremely easy installation (less than 5 min if you read the instructions) and the option to be locked onto the wall by putting one bracket up and one bracket down.

4. Finished product.

Brackets for extra Large Jobs

For extra large trellis (such as the 12 x 24' trellis we put on the side of a Dillards Store) we use a more industrial bracket which can be mounted anywhere on the trellis with self-tapping screws and to the wall with lag bolts.

Our Garden products are sold by leading Garden Centers in the Southeastern United States.  Specifications require our products to be manufactured from the finest American iron and aluminum.  

Care is taken throughout our manufacturing to produce the highest quality products destined to last lifetimes.  The paint process alone requires four days to apply. First a zinc chromate coating is applied to protect against rust, then an enamel base color coat, followed by faux paint to give a rich subtle glow, and finally a clear coat of protective resin.  Once baked and dried... a beautiful, durable, rustproof finish remains that will last generations.
