About The Little Big Trellis Company

From small beginnings Canterbury Trellis rapidly expanded to become Canterbury’s leading manufacturer of trellis.

The Little Big Tree Company acquired the business’ assets in 2022 and have set up manufacturing trellis on the The Little Big Tree Company yard as The Little Big Trellis Company.

We believe that only quality products should leave the factory, which is why our premium grade framing and lattice timber is custom supplied in a thicker gauge than offered by other trellis manufacturers.

All our products are custom made to suit your individual needs and we are happy to work with your builder, architect or landscape designer to ensure you get the end result you desire and turn your vision into reality.

Located in Sawyers Arms Road, we sometimes offer the convenience of onsite sales for your other fencing needs with posts, rails and boards available on request.

Our Trellis

We manufacture a standard range of trellis products as well as “custom” designs, contemporary venetian, square designs, and framed trellis.

Trellis is a versatile fencing product that has a multitude of uses around your property from privacy toppers on fences to gas bottle surrounds and wind breaks.

We can offer advice on what trellis to use around your property, how to install and many handy hints.

Superior Trellis

The Little Big Trellis Company is the only trellis manufacturer to use a thicker grade of batten & framing timbers in our trellis products, because of this and our production methods you can be assured that trellis purchased from The Little Big Trellis Company will not fall apart and is more resistant to abuse and general wear & tear.

We offer a range of different faming options depending on the size and use of the trellis. Custom panels are no problem for our team and the inclusion of angles, cut outs and steps means our panels can be made to fit those difficult corners and spaces with ease.
