New Trellis Made Out of an Old Gazebo.

We had an old gazebo, we took it apart and my significant other welded it together to make a trellis. Some spray paint. The lantern is an old one that was in the garage, painted it, added a solar light and used a pint mason jar for the glass. This was put around the raised beds I made last year. It will be full of perennials eventually.
