Dragonfly Trellis

An 8 ft tall steel trellis, powder coat painted in gold. Made for the garden of an ecologist and former city council member. I believe, he was planning to plant purple clematis to climb on it.

Here is the drawing submitted for the design. The damsel flys dance together in the moonlight over the pond----the damsel flys embracing form the outline of a dragonfly. Dragonflys are archaic insects (that does not mean they say thee and thou a lot) that is the species are so old they cannot fold their wings back like modern insects, including their descendents, damsel flys.

Not shown in the drawing, are the side panels set at 90 angles to the main panel to provide both suppert to the main panel and additional area for vines to grow on.
