I don’t know if the ivy sprawling along my garage is ever going to be fully under control; so much of it climbs through my neighbor’s yard and along the side of my garage that I don’t have access to so easily. And it’s not that pretty ivy that transforms into a pretty rainbow every fall, it just stays green all year round, so it’s nice to have, but nonstop maintance. Thick, suffocating, green maintenance.

I successfully chiseled off a lot of it when I painted the garage door last summer, but that doesn’t mean that it’s inching it’s way back into place.

In this week’s post on DIY Network, I corralled the wild beast with a unique contemporary trellis. Check it out for yourself, and then go make one for less than $5.
