How to Set Trellis Posts on a Cement Patio

Place the bottom of the trellis post into the pot and press it against the side of the pot. Fill the pot with soil to secure the trellis. If the trellis has more than one post, place each post in a different pot, all pressed against the side of the pot, and fill each pot with soil. The trellis needs to be pressed against the side of the pot and not in the center of the pot so it won't lean when you secure it to the wall.

Place quick-drying epoxy on the back of a wooden plank about 2 feet long, 2 to 3 inches wide and 2 inches thick. Place the plank onto the wall horizontally at the height you want to attach the trellis to it. Hold the plank in place until the epoxy dries, about 3 to 5 minutes. Glue the plank to the wall with epoxy if the exterior of the wall is either vinyl, brick or concrete. If your home's exterior is wood you can nail the plank of wood directly into the wall instead of gluing it with the epoxy. Hold the plank to the wall horizontally and nail it in place with six to eight 4-inch-long nails spaced evenly along the length of the plank.

Push the pot next to the wall and position the trellis in front of the plank.

Drill screws into the trellis and the plank behind the trellis to secure it in place.
